Auction History Result g397 JOHN WAYNE linen stock 1sh 1940s full-length image of The Duke with gun, The Lucky Texan! Date Sold 12/19/2006Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A 1940s Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Stock One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) one of four John Wayne stock one-sheets (and an insert) used by theaters to advertise re-released (and in some countries, the first release) John Wayne cowboy western movies that he made for Lone Star Pictures in 1933 and 1934. The first of these one-sheets was made by Lone Star Pictures itself in 1934, and has an artwork image of a cowboy on a horse that does not resemble John Wayne. The second of these was made in 1939 when John Wayne achieved major stardom with Stagecoach, and distributors rushed to re-release his many 1930s B-westerns to theaters, and one poster shows a recognizable John Wayne on a rearing horse with an inset image in the top right corner. There are two other Lone Star stock John Wayne posters that we believe date to the late 1940s (probably 1947), when he had even greater success with his World War II movies, and one has him standing full-length by a tree, and the other has a closer image of him along with Gabby Hayes. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. The poster had creases, smudges, tears, and areas of paper loss in the top half of the vertical foldline, and a much lesser amount on the other folds. There was some writing on the back of the poster that slightly bled through on the right of the white area to the right of John at the top of the poster and in the yellow area above it. There was also some writing in the white area just above the "Y" of "LUCKY" in the title, and some in the top of the "Y" that bled through to the front. There were pinholes, creases, smudges, and small areas of paper loss in the borders. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed. There is a fair amount of restoration to the above defects, and quite a bit of restoration in the borders, but it was done quite nicely, and it is truly not very noticeable at all!
