Auction History Result 6h0165 LLOYDS OF LONDON die-cut 20x38 standee 1937 art of Bartholomew, Carroll & Power, ultra rare! Date Sold 4/14/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1937 (from the first general wide release of this movie) Vintage Theatrical Movie Standee (measures 20" x 38" [51 x 97 cm]) (Learn More) Lloyds of London, the 1936 Henry King England finance banking insurance romantic historical biography (produced by Darryl F. Zanuck; about Jonathan Blake, the man who help found the famous English insurance firm, but the movie takes GREAT liberties with what really occurred, and only has the slightest connection to the real story!) starring Freddie Bartholomew (as the young Jonathan Blake; his role is fairly minor, but he still got top billing, reflective of how big a star he was at this time!), Madeleine Carroll, Guy Standing (billed as "Sir Guy Standing"), Tyrone Power Jr. (as Jonathan Blake; in his first big success, but he is fourth billed), C. Aubrey Smith, Virginia Field, George Sanders (low billed, in his first year of credits roles!), "and a Mammoth Cast". Note that Freddie Bartholomew was at the height of his career when this movie was made, and even though he only played the star of the movie as a youth in a short part of the movie, he was still given top billing! Also note that this movie had a brief release at the end of 1936 (no doubt to qualify for awards), but went into wide release of January of 1937, so some of the movie paper for it is dated 1936 and some of it is dated 1937, but it is all from the first release of the movie. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this cool standee! It is dated 1937 at the bottom, but as noted above, some movie paper for this movie is dated 1936 and some 1937, because it was first release at the end of 1936, and all of it is first release movie paper. Note that first release large standees from 1930s movies are beyond rare. Surely this is because they were used and discarded immediately after use, because no one thought they were worth preserving! In all our years of auctioning, we have only auctioned a handful of first release large 1930s standees for movies. Condition: very good. The standee was likely never used, because the easel backing doesn't appear to have ever been fully opened. There is light brown staining scattered on the back of the right one-third, and a small amount on the back of the bottom right, but none of it affects the front (see our images). There are some creases in the bottom corners, with small surface paper loss there and in a couple of tiny areas in the bottom border. There are some smudges and scuffs scattered in the bottom red area and some faint brown stains in the white area to the left of Bartholomew. Otherwise, the standee is in remarkably nice condition, given its age and size, and that it is die-cut. Learn More about condition grades
