Auction History Result 1j604 NECK & NECK 1sh 1942 Terry-Toons, Paul Terry, cool art of horses, Dinky Duck & other toons! Date Sold 10/17/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Neck and Neck, the 1942 Mannie Davis Terry Toons family animated cartoon comedy short (produced by Paul Terry). Note that this poster is a 1940 stock poster used by theaters showing Terrytoons cartoons (see below for how this was changed from a stock poster to a poster for this specific cartoon). Note that Paul Terry created a different "stock" poster for each year from 1937 through 1940 (there may have been ones from earlier or later years, but we have never encountered them). Each would have a completely different great image, showing many of his top cartoon stars of that year, and there would be a blank center area in each poster. After the posters were initially printed, they would overprint a group of the posters with a title of a particular cartoon from that year, and ALSO usually add a single-color image from that cartoon (unusual for stock cartoon posters), and then they would print another group of the posters with a different cartoon title and image, and so on. In the case of this particular poster, the title was printed in large letters, and the cartoon that was advertised was "Neck and Neck" the 1942 cartoon short (even though the posters were printed in 1940, they were still being overprinted in 1941). It seems likely that the advent of World War II caused Terry to stop making a different stock poster for each year, and that they simply re-used the 1940 posters throughout the war. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: fair. The poster is in much lesser condition. There are several defects scattered along the edges and foldlines/crossfolds and there are several significant areas of foldline and/or crossfold separation. Many of the defects have been repaired with clear tape from the back (several folds are completely held together by tape) and the poster is somewhat fragile. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid and please do not bid unless you can accept the defects described above, or you are willing to pay to have them properly restored.
