Date Sold 12/6/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Silk Banner Movie Poster (measures 40" x 102" [102 x 259 cm]) (Learn More) Susannah of the Mounties, the 1939 William A. Seiter & Walter Lang Royal Canadian Mounted Police RCMP juvenile adventure melodrama ("Darryl F. Zanuck in charge of production"; "Story by Fidel La Barba and Walter Ferris"; "Based on the book by Muriel Denison") starring Shirley Temple (in the title role as Susannah), Randolph Scott, Victor Jory, Margaret Lockwood, Martin Good Rider, J. Farrell MacDonald, and Maurice Moscovitch (a Ukrainian actor; as Chief Big Eagle) 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 the vast majority of silk banners we have seen are close to 40" x 55" in size. However, this banner is 40" x 102"! We do not have a wall that size, so it was photographed in two images that were joined together (but we assure you that the banner is one single piece of silk!). Also note that in the 1930s and 1940s, movie studios made silk burgees (also called silk banners) for most major releases. These were printed on a silk (or silk-like) material, sometimes with a gold fringe at the bottom, and usually with an opening at the top through which a wooden pole could be inserted, usually with a rope attached to both ends of the pole, so that the burgee could be hung from a nail at the theater. Few silk burgees are known to survive (we have only auctioned around a dozen of them in our many years of auctioning), and many collectors are not even aware of their existence! We have just been consigned a remarkable find of TWENTY THREE of these silk banners! That is double the amount we auctioned in all our previous 25 years of auctioning. Each of these 23 silk banners are currently at auction individually. This is a very rare opportunity to purchase one or many of this extremely rare size of original 1930s and 1940s movie posters! Condition: very good to fine. There are some horizontal creases scattered throughout the banner (they are more noticeable down the left and right sides). There are a few faint stains or dot stains scattered in the background areas, but there are few of them and they are very minor. Otherwise, the banner is in excellent condition (likely in about as nice condition as any of these banners I have ever seen!). Note that banners like these are extremely rare (see above) and the few that survive often have deterioration in the silk or in the fringe, and sometimes the pole is missing or damaged. Some of this collection of 23 silk banners that this banner was found with have survived in better condition than the majority of the similar silk banners we have seen in the past.
