Auction History Result 4p419 GENE AUTRY stock linen 1sh '53 Gene Autry w/guitar & riding Champion, Trail to San Antone! Date Sold 4/7/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1953 Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) a 1950s Gene Autry stock poster created by Republic Pictures for use by theaters showing Gene Autry movies in the mid 1950s. Theaters showing Gene Autry movies would order this stock poster (which was sometimes sent blank, and sometimes sent with titles of specific movies overprinted in the bottom area). When a poster was sent blank, the theater would either place a snipe in the blank area, overprint the title themselves, or hand write in the name of the particular Gene Autry movie they were showing that week, and then they could reuse the poster with a different snipe at a later time, thus getting many posters for the price of one! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a "stock" poster created by Republic Pictures for use by theaters showing re-releases of their 1940s Gene Autry movies in 1953. Theaters would order this poster, which had a large blank rectangle at bottom center. Sometimes the studio would overprint the stock poster with the title of a specific movie, and sometimes they sent a series of large paper snipes with the titles of specific entries of the series, so the theater could paste in each snipe as needed, thus getting many posters for the price of one. Sometimes stock posters are found with blank snipe areas. Most collectors consider them more valuable with a printed snipe attached, or with an overprinted snipe area. Condition: good to very good. The poster had extra creases along the foldlines and small paper loss at the crossfolds, and some creases and tiny areas of paper loss in the vertical foldline. There were pinholes in the corners. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
