Auction History Result 4y0176 RIDE 'EM COWBOY linen 1sh 1936 great art of cowboy Buck Jones on horse over race cars, rare! Date Sold 7/7/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Ride 'em Cowboy, the 1936 Lesley Selander automobile car racing sports cowboy western ("Original story by Buck Jones"; set in the then present day, and Buck Jones is not only a cowboy who rides horses, but he also drives race cars!) starring Buck Jones, George Cooper, William Lawrence, Luana Walters, J.P. McGowan, Joseph Girard, Donald Kirke, and Charles Lemoyne. Note that Buck Jones' white horse was named Silver (just like The Lone Ranger's later on!), and Silver made 73 movies with Buck Jones from 1922 until Jones' death in 1942 in the tragic Cocoanut Grove fire. But oddly, Silver was almost never billed on the posters for Buck Jones' movies as so many other famous horses (most especially Tom Mix's Tony) were! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

Important Added Info: Note that we have previously auctioned four examples of this one-sheet, and the last one was 19 years ago, when it sold for $1,526! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some separation and tiny bits of paper loss in the vertical fold between the middle and bottom crossfolds, and a much lesser amount of wear on the rest of the folds. It had pinholes, tears, stains, and paper loss in the top and bottom borders, but only slightly extending into the edges of the image in a few small areas. There were smudges in the solid yellow areas at top. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did little restoration to the defects described above. Because most of the defects are in the top and bottom blank borders, the poster can certainly be displayed and enjoyed as it is, or one might choose to have additional restoration performed. Either way, the new owner will have a really cool and unusual car racing/cowboy poster to display on their wall. Learn More about condition grades
