Auction History Result 8b0097 HOPALONG CASSIDY linen style C 1sh 1947 cowboy William Boyd riding his horse, The Showdown! Date Sold 3/30/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Linenbacked Style C One-Sheet Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) a Western Classics stock poster sent to theaters that regularly showed Hopalong Cassidy movies. The theater could put up the poster each time they showed a Hopalong Cassidy movie, and thus use the same poster over and over! The posters would often have a blank area where the title could either be written in, overprinted, or a snipe could be pasted on. Note that Western Classics distributed these movies in both 1946 and 1947, with different stock posters for each year. A year later, these same Hopalong Cassidy movies were again distributed to theaters, this time under the Masterpiece Productions distributor logo. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that the poster is undated, but it has a litho number, and comparing this number to our massive database of litho numbers taken from actual movie posters, we can determine that this poster is almost certainly from 1947. It was overprinted with the title "The Showdown", which was a 1940 movie that they were re-showing in 1947. 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 creases, tiny tears, and scuffs along parts of the folds, with smudges scattered in the yellow areas. It had pinholes and smudges around the edges, with paper loss in the center of the right blank border. 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 not do restoration to the defects described above. Note that either the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster, or possibly the owner of the poster chose to carefully trim off the excess, so that the poster would fit in a frame.
