Auction History Result 6p676 JOHN WAYNE insert '30s great close up image with hat & art at bottom, Randy Rides Alone! Date Sold 4/26/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) one of three John Wayne stock inserts 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 inserts was made by Monogram when they re-released those Lone Star Pictures sometime between 1935 and 1939 (there are similar one-sheets for each of those titles, but they only made this generic insert for those re-releases), and it has a great headshot image of John Wayne at the top and artwork at the bottom. We believe the other two inserts date to the mid 1940s (both have solely "A Lone Star Western Re-release" on them), when he had even greater success with his World War II movies, and one of those inserts is similar to the 1930s insert, but with the elements rearranged, and the other has a waist-high image of Wayne pointing a gun. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this very rare insert which dates to between 1935 and 1939 (see above)! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: fair to good. The poster was mostly separated on the top fold and partially on the bottom fold, and there is tape on the back of those areas. There is surface paper loss and separation at the top fold and small surface paper loss in the bottom fold. There are tears around the edges, with some surface paper loss and tiny paper loss. There is a great number of smudges scattered throughout the poster. This poster is an ideal candidate for restoration, because it is likely that many of the smudges can be removed chemically, and after proper restoration, it will look great (and it is an extremely rare poster).
