Auction History Result 1z071 DESERT VENGEANCE linen 1sh 1931 wonderful art of Buck Jones drawing gun on horseback, very rare! Date Sold 12/5/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Desert Vengeance, the 1931 Louis King romantic cowboy western melodrama ("The screen's greatest outdoor star in a breath-taking all dialog western!"; this was unusual for Buck Jones, because he does not play a hero!; rather he is an outlaw who gets swindled by a husband and wife team who pose as brother and sister, and when he discovers what they did, he virtually imprisons them, and treats them terribly!) starring Buck Jones ("The screen's greatest outdoor star!"), Barbara Bedford, Douglas Gilmore, Edward Brady, Albert J. Smith, Bob Fleming, and Slim Whitaker. Note that Buck Jones' white horse was named Silver (just like The Lone Ranger's later on!), and Silver made 73 movies with Buck Jones from 1922 until Jones' death in 1942 in the tragic Cocoanut Grove fire. But oddly, Silver was almost never billed on the posters for Buck Jones' movies as so many other famous horses (most especially Tom Mix's Tony) were! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an incredibly rare poster! We have only previously auctioned it once before (and that one was in only "fair to good" condition, and it sold for $1,110), although Richard Allen once owned an example of it, and we used that image in our "60 Great Cowboy Movie Posters" book (and it is certainly one of the best cowboy movie posters ever!). It is likely so incredibly rare because this 1931 movie was quickly re-released in 1934 (as were several other Buck Jones westerns), and Columbia created all new posters for the re-release (with different art that showed Jones in profile in a gunfight), and it is likely that all of the remaining 1931 posters were destroyed at that time!

The poster had a dime-sized area of paper loss at the top crossfold, with tiny paper loss at the other two crossfolds. It had an extra horizontal fold slightly below the regular top one, and some separation, tiny tears, and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of some folds. It had pinholes and some tiny paper loss around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Learn More about condition grades
