Appears in John Wayne Movie Posters at Auction CATALOG SOLD OUT The image at right appears in the auction catalog we published as shown above and was sold long ago and we do NOT have it available for purchase. An Undated (probably 1930s) Re-release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) The Star Packer, the 1934 Robert N. Bradbury (billed as "R.N. Bradbury") cowboy western ("A whirlwind of action in a tornado of trouble! - The sensational western star shows the bad men of the West what fightin' means.") starring John Wayne, Verna Hillie, George 'Gabby' Hayes, Yakima Canutt, and Billy Franey. Note that John Wayne's horse in his First National movies was "Duke", but when he switched to Lone Star, his horse was "Starlight" (but unlike Duke, Starlight was not credited).

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this 1930s re-release one-sheet, and that was 16 years ago. Note that we feel pretty certain that this is a re-release from between 1934 and 1936, because there is a different poster with a Tooker Litho symbol from this movie that we think is the 1934 poster, and in 1937, these Lone Star movies were first re-released by Monogram, so this predates that. An advanced collector suggests that it may have been printed by a different company altogether, because there are quite a few differences between this poster and the studio releases. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and the restorer did a good job, but you can see signs of the restoration from inches away (since most people look at posters framed on a wall from at least a few feet away, we don't feel this is a defect, but we feel it should be noted). See below for this poster's pre-restoration condition (we are the only major auction company we know of that shares this information with our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). good to very good. The poster had tears and creases along many foldlines, and some paper loss near the top of the vertical foldline (in the blue background). There was paper loss at the crossfolds and some added paper loss 1" to the right of the middle crossfold. There were some tears, creases, and small areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster and there were pinholes in the corners. The person who restored the poster did a pretty nice job restoring the above defects, but you can still somewhat see them. The restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster. Learn More about condition grades
