Auction History Result c003 HOPALONG CASSIDY linen stock 3sh '40s William Boyd, Hopalong Cassidy, Bar 20! Date Sold 5/31/2007Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (probably 1940s) Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Stock Three-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 41" x 81") (Learn More) a stock poster sent to theaters that regularly showed Hopalong Cassidy movies. The theater could put up the poster each time they showed a Hopalong Cassidy movie, and thus use the same poster over and over! The posters would often have a blank area where the title could either be written in, overprinted, or a snipe could be pasted on. Note that Western Classics distributed these movies in both 1946 and 1947, with different stock posters for each year. A year later, these same Hopalong Cassidy movies were again distributed to theaters, this time under the Masterpiece Productions distributor logo. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a stock poster printed for use by theaters that were showing Hopalong Cassidy movies in the 1940s. The theaters would either write in the name of the particular movie they were showing that day, or paste on a paper snipe with the title, and then they could later re-use the poster when they showed a different Hopalong Cassidy movie. This particular stock poster was used to advertise the 1943 movie, "Bar 20". This three-sheet was printed in 2 sections. Condition: very good to fine. The poster had some tiny paper loss at some crossfolds and some very tiny tears and very tiny areas of paper loss on some foldlines and very slight border wear. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, but you can see the slight restoration of the above minor defects (although it is not very noticeable or distracting at all). Learn More about condition grades
