Auction History Result 7h780 RIN-TIN-TIN 8x10 key book still 1920s the famous German Shepherd dog star with intense gaze! Date Sold 6/24/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 7 1/2" x 9 1/2" [19 x 24 cm] Key Book Still (Learn More) Rin Tin Tin is the most famous dog canine star ever! This German Shepherd was rescued in France at the end of World War I by U.S. Air Corporal Lee Duncan. He made his first movie in 1923, and by 1926, he was Warner Bros.' #1 star, and he made a total of 28 movies. He passed away in 1932 at the age of 13. One of his sons was quickly dubbed "Rin Tin Tin, Jr." and he starred in a number of films, but he was not the equal of his famous father. Rin Tin Tin was the most successful canine star of all time! Important Added Info: Note that this great still (and two others) we are auctioning were apparently once in the estate of Lee Duncan, the soldier who brought Rin Tin Tin back from France after World War I, and who made him a star. "EX-LEE DUNCAN" is written in pencil on the back of all three stills, which are in three separate auctions. We have no "certificate of authenticity", but we think it is extremely likely that these stills came from Lee Duncan's estate. Note that this still is a key book still, printed on a deluxe heavyweight paper stock. Many studios spent extra money to have their most special photos, the key book stills, either backed with linen or printed on a heavy paper, both of which enhanced their durability. They had an extra 1" at the left or top, with punch holes, because of how they were stored. Key book stills are far more rare than regular stills, which has increased their popularity among collectors, since only a few keybooks were manufactured per film, and a key book still is guaranteed to be authentic. Someone trimmed away the extra 1" from the top of the still. Condition: very good. The top 1" was neatly trimmed off (see above). Otherwise, the still is in nice condition!
