Date Sold 2/21/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. a lot of 7 8x10 movie star portraits from 1935. Until 2017, we had called photos like these "picture frame photos", because we thought they were ones that were used as sample portraits in picture frames for sale. While there ARE many photos that are like that, these are not those, as we discovered in 2017, when we were consigned some sets that included the original advertising material that explained what they are! These are printed on a special paper that has a linen-like finish. They were originally issued in sets of 12 or more between 1935 and 1938 (at least). We know that there were at least 18 sets issued in 1938 alone, so there were definitely hundreds of different ones of these portraits. The EMO Movie Club was based in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and they had an elaborate system whereby you joined the club (and got others to join) and they then gave away and sold these sets to club members. In addition, club members got discounts from various movie theaters. If anyone knows more about the EMO Movie Club or these portraits, please e-mail us and we will post it here. We do not provide a list of these items, but there are images of all of them. Measurements: 8" x 10"Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades Titles included:
