An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Private Detective, the 1939 Noel M.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have never auctioned this "Other Company" version in all our years of auctioning (see below)! This poster was printed by Associated Displays Corporation which was a company based in New York City. Before it was discovered by noted poster dealer/historian Walter Reuben, collectors did not know the name of this company (and thought it to be located in the Midwest), and it is often referred to as the "other company" (and we will continue to refer to it that way, since collectors know it that way). From 1936 to roughly 1941, this company printed its own one-sheets and lobby card sets (and a very few inserts, half-sheets, three-sheets, 40x60s and stills) for three major studio movies (Warner Brothers, Paramount and United Artists, but no other studios). The items almost always feature a tiny legal disclaimer and cast credits only. The posters and lobby cards are from the original release of the movie, and almost always have completely different artwork from the regular studio release. They did this by combining elements from different film scenes onto one poster or card. Sometimes, "other company" posters have images that are the equal of those from the regular studio release posters. Condition: good. The poster is rippled throughout. It has several pinholes around the edges and varying amounts of crossfold separation. There is writing on back (some of it is marker writing) that slightly bleeds through to the front in the title area. Some edges were folded back at one time. There is one piece of tape on back with some writing on it. It is otherwise "all there" and after proper restoration the very rare Other Company poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
