An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Bordertown Trail, the 1944 Lesley Selander cowboy western starring Smiley Burnette, Sunset Carson, Ellen Lowe, Weldon Heyburn, Addison Richards, Francis Mcdonald, and Rex Lease. Note that this was the only case we know of where the sidekick got first billing ahead of the top star, and this was true in Sunset Carson's first four westerns for Republic Pictures! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: fair to good. This poster has been linenbacked, but it was not very well done, likely both because the restorer did not do a good job at all, and because the years since it has been linenbacked have not been kind to the poster. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. Generally, it had creases, tears, and areas of paper loss on parts of several foldlines, and tack holes with stains around them around the edges of the poster. The poster was not well backed at all, because you can still see some or all of the defects generally described above (in some cases, as should be immediately evident in our image, the linenbacker did no restoration to some of the defects), and if there was restoration of the above defects, it was not done very well. Certainly, a talented restorer could perform additional restoration (either with or without re-backing the poster), but it might be fairly expensive to have this done, so bear that in mind before you place a bid. Note that the poster apparently was exposed to moisture after it was backed, because it is now rippled around the edges. Learn More about condition grades
