Also, note that first release posters of any sort from this very first movie version of The Lone Ranger is extremely scarce, likely because it was bought by Lone Ranger fans decades ago, and has never returned to the hobby!

Theaters would order these blank backgrounds (usually with printed color borders), with a blank area designed for a still, and then they would glue or staple stills into the background, and then display them in their lobby card frames (which every theater had in the 1960s or earlier). Condition: fair. There is rippling and discoloration throughout the lobby card from exposure to moisture. Learn More about condition grades
