Auction History Result #110 GENE AUTRY linen 1sh '53 art of Gene Autry & riding Champion Jr., Robin Hood of Texas! Date Sold 11/26/2002Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1953 Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Stock One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) a 1950s Gene Autry stock poster created by Republic Pictures for use by theaters showing Gene Autry movies in the mid 1950s. Theaters showing Gene Autry movies would order this stock poster (which was sometimes sent blank, and sometimes sent with titles of specific movies overprinted in the bottom area). When a poster was sent blank, the theater would either place a snipe in the blank area, overprint the title themselves, or hand write in the name of the particular Gene Autry movie they were showing that week, and then they could reuse the poster with a different snipe at a later time, thus getting many posters for the price of one! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: This poster has been professionally linenbacked. It now looks great, and most dealers would describe it as "fine (or mint) on linen". We have noted the defects that were restored below (and feel everyone should always do this!). Many collectors would not be aware of the restoration this poster has had unless it was specifically shown to them! Condition: very good. The poster was linenbacked in the "European style", which means it was linenbacked with no restoration. The poster has paper loss at the middle and bottom crossfolds, and some paper loss to the left of the "R" of "ROBIN". There are pinholes i. Most of the linenbacked posters we sell were restored by the finest professionals. An expertly linenbacked poster will often appear "mint", as its defects have been made to "vanish". We are the only seller we are aware of who always tries to describe the condition of the poster prior to being linenbacked, so you are fully aware of what restoration was performed.
