An Original Vintage Promo Card (measures 8" x 9 1/4" [20 x 23 cm]) (Learn More) Paramount is a entertainment production company from 1912 to the present. They are the fifth oldest surviving film studio in the world. Paramount Pictures dates its existence from the founding of the Famous Players Film Company by Adolph Zukor. That same year, Jesse L. Lasky opened his Lasky Feature Play Company, and both companies released their films through a start-up company called Paramount Pictures Corporation (and their first movies were "released through the Paramount Program"). In 1916, Zukor maneuvered a three-way merger of his Famous Players, the Lasky Company, and Paramount into the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation. The new corporation absorbed other firms (such as Artcraft in 1918) and eventually was simply known as Paramount Pictures. The early history of Paramount is fascinating and filled with backstabbing, and anyone interested will be greatly rewarded by reading about it! Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this cool promo card! It may have been intended to be used as a fan by moviegoers (it looks like you could hold it at the bottom and wave it to generate air movement, but that is only a guess). If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
