Auction History Result M224 IN OLD MONTEREY linen three-sheet movie poster '39 Gene Autry Date Sold 4/27/2004Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Three-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 41" x 81") (Learn More) In Old Monterey, the 1939 Joseph Kane California singing cowboy western musical starring Gene Autry, Smiley Burnette, June Storey, George 'Gabby' Hayes, The Hoosier Hotshots, Sarie and Sallie, The Ranch Boys, Stuart Hamblen, and Frank Ellis. Note that "Sarie and Sallie" appeared in this one movie and are virtually completely forgotten today. But they had a very successful career from 1934 to 1939 in country music! They were supposed to be two "hillbilly" women who were sisters, and they were played by Sarie Brown and Margaret Waters. Although they were billed as a music act, they actually did very little singing (they had backup people for that), but their main appeal was their endearing dialogues where they talked about all sorts of things (and they surely had a strong influence on Minnie Pearl's career)!

This poster was linenbacked, and the restorer did a good job, but you can see signs of the restoration from inches away (since most people look at posters framed on a wall from at least a few feet away, we don't feel this is a defect, but we feel it should be noted). See below for this poster's pre-restoration condition (we are the only major auction company we know of that shares this information with our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). very good. Poster had small paper loss on some foldlines and at some crossfolds. It had minor smudges and creases throughout, as well as some tears on some foldlines and some border defects, including pinholes in the corners. At some point after linenbacking, the poster was lightly stained in the upper left corner extending into the image area (you can see it from the front of the poster and on the back of the linen). Certainly, a good restorer could touch up this water stained area without re-backing the poster. Learn More about condition grades
