An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 11" x 17" [28 x 43 cm]; 12 pages) (Learn More) Border Flight, the 1936 Otho Lovering airplane aviation military melodrama ("Thrilling With the Heroic Exploits of the Coast Guard!", "A love triangle spiced with danger, loyalty and glorious sacrifice!") starring Frances Farmer (top billed in her second movie role ever!), John Howard, Roscoe Karns, Robert Cummings (Bob Cummings), Grant Withers, and Samuel S. Hinds. Note that original release poster material from this movie is incredibly rare! In all our years of auctioning, we have never had even one poster or lobby card (but we have had the pressbook, so we now know what the posters look like!). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this pressbook, and that was 9 years ago! Note that in December 2021, we were consigned a truly remarkable collection of pressbooks (the first 37 were auctioned in our December Major Auction, and the most expensive one sold for $17,500!). In our regular auctions since, we have auctioned hundreds more from this collection. Now we continue to auction more of these pressbooks, which is absolutely the finest collection of pressbooks we have ever been consigned. In this set of auctions, most of the ones we are auctioning are larger pressbooks, mostly 11" x 15" or larger. Some of them were folded at one time, but they were stored unfolded for many years, so we left them unfolded, and unless the new owner requests otherwise, we will send them unfolded, because re-folding them would likely lessen the condition. Many of these are ones we have either never auctioned before or only once auctioned before, sometimes many years ago. These were collected decades ago, which was the only time that many of these could be found, and after these auctions are over it may be years (or decades!) before some of these are offered again. They ARE that rare! Note that pressbooks from the 1930s are almost never found in great condition, and some of them (especially those printed during World War II, including all the MGM ones from that time) are printed on newsprint, and are hard to find in even lesser condition. We have several images from each pressbook. We have given each an overall grade, and ask that you look at our images to get a good sense of the condition of that pressbook, because, since they have many pages, it would take forever to describe their condition in detail. However, EVERY one of these pressbooks is complete and uncut! Note that Paramount pressbooks at this time were printed on newsprint, and unlike those many studios, they did not have color covers or covers that were on a better quality paper stock. This means that first release Paramount pressbooks from around this time are incredibly scarce, because the newsprint almost always aged in the way that old newspapers do, becoming fragile and brittle, and surely most were thrown out within a few years of being created. Condition: good, NO CUTS. Note that we solely give an overall grade to these rare pressbooks, and tell you whether it is complete and uncut. However, you can view our multiple images of the covers and the interior pages that should give you a good sense of the pressbook's condition. Learn More about condition grades
