Auction History Result 7m0091 BOMBA & THE JUNGLE GIRL LAMINATED insert 1953 Johnny Sheffield, Karen Sharpe & Kimbbo, rare! Date Sold 10/27/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A Laminated Original Vintage Theatrical Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Bomba and the Jungle Girl, the 1953 Ford Beebe romantic jungle action adventure thriller ("Based upon Roy Rockwood's 'Bomba' books") starring Johnny Sheffield (in the title role as Bomba the Jungle Boy; after appearing in "Tarzan Finds A Son" in 1939 as "Boy", Sheffield made a few other movies, but then settled in to playing solely "Boy" and later "Bomba" in this highly successful series!), Karen Sharpe, Walter Sande, Kimbbo ("the Chimp"), and Suzette Harbin (uncredited on the posters, she was a beautiful young black actress who appeared in a small number of movies in the 1940s, most notably in "The Foxes of Harrow"; it seemed she might get the sort of roles that Lena Horne was getting, but that never materialized; if anyone knows more about the career of Suzette Harbin, and why she had such a limited number of parts, please e-mail us and we will post it here.)

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this insert, and the last one was 15 years ago! Note that this poster has been laminated! It is quite likely that there is no way to reverse this process. However, I have seen many posters and lobby cards that have been laminated for over 20 years, and the lamination does not hurt the items in any way (and some of the posters were laminated as much as 40 years ago, so it certainly seems that if it were going to damage the item, it would have happened by now!), plus it seems to completely protect them, while allowing them to be easily displayed with no fear of damage. HOWEVER, PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THIS POSTER UNLESS YOU WANT TO PURCHASE A LAMINATED ITEM! Note that this laminated poster comes to us from a very longtime collector who, decades ago, had most of his collection laminated. As we said above, even though it has been a very long time since this was done, the posters this collector consigned (11 one-sheets and 8 inserts, in 19 separate auctions) likely look just as they did when he first had them laminated, so they certainly can be displayed and enjoyed. But they all have to be sent in very large flat packages (the one-sheets approximately 29" x 43", and the inserts approximately 16" x 38"), so bear this added expense in mind before bidding. Condition: good. Prior to being laminated, the poster had brown tape stains in the middle of the left and right blank borders, with a diagonal crease in the bottom left corner, and a tack hole in each corner. PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THIS POSTER UNLESS YOU WANT TO PURCHASE A LAMINATED ITEM! Learn More about condition grades
