Auction History Result 1t176 JOHN WAYNE linen stock 1sh1940s full-length image of The Duke with gun, The Lucky Texan! Date Sold 9/16/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A 1940s Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Stock One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) one of four John Wayne stock one-sheets (and an insert) used by theaters to advertise re-released (and in some countries, the first release) John Wayne cowboy western movies that he made for Lone Star Pictures in 1933 and 1934. The first of these one-sheets was made by Lone Star Pictures itself in 1934, and has an artwork image of a cowboy on a horse that does not resemble John Wayne. The second of these was made in 1939 when John Wayne achieved major stardom with Stagecoach, and distributors rushed to re-release his many 1930s B-westerns to theaters, and one poster shows a recognizable John Wayne on a rearing horse with an inset image in the top right corner. There are two other Lone Star stock John Wayne posters that we believe date to the late 1940s (probably 1947), when he had even greater success with his World War II movies, and one has him standing full-length by a tree, and the other has a closer image of him along with Gabby Hayes. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair. The poster had many tears and areas of paper loss along all the foldlines, and some in the rest of the poster. It also had some smudges and stains scattered throughout. Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to linenbacking. The person who backed the poster tried to "rescue" it, but the restoration they performed is very noticeable. This is a MAJOR defect, so bear this in mind before placing a bid on this poster. Learn More about condition grades
