Auction History Result p045 HOPALONG CASSIDY stock insert movie poster R40s Texas Trail! Date Sold 10/18/2005Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36") (Learn More) a Western Classics stock poster sent to theaters that regularly showed Hopalong Cassidy movies. The theater could put up the poster each time they showed a Hopalong Cassidy movie, and thus use the same poster over and over! The posters would often have a blank area where the title could either be written in, overprinted, or a snipe could be pasted on. Note that Western Classics distributed these movies in both 1946 and 1947, with different stock posters for each year. A year later, these same Hopalong Cassidy movies were again distributed to theaters, this time under the Masterpiece Productions distributor logo. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good. This poster was paperbacked, but it was either NOT paperbacked by a very talented restorer, OR it was paperbacked many years ago, and has received rough handling over the years, OR it had fairly significant defects that were not well restored. If it was restored, you can clearly see signs of the restoration even from a distance. This is a poster that would surely benefit from additional professional restoration. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about paperbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had surface damage to the area below the gun barrel at middle right running off the edge of the poster. The poster was pretty well backed, but the paperbacker did not do anything to improve the damaged area, and also left alone the minor creases, smudges, and scuffs in the image.
