Auction History Result 9p889 TERRY-TOONS 1sh 1940 cool art of Dinky Duck & other Paul Terry cartoon creations! Date Sold 9/12/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Terry-Toons, a 1940 stock poster used by theaters that show Terrytoons cartoons. Note that the poster includes images of many of Paul Terry's cartoon characters at that time, including a very large image of Dinky Duck! Note that Paul Terry created a different "stock" poster for each year from 1937 through 1940 (there may have been ones from earlier or later years, but we have never encountered them). Each would have a completely different great image, showing many of his top cartoon stars of that year, and there would be a blank center area in each poster. After the color posters were printed, they would overprint a group of the posters with a title of a particular cartoon from that year (sometimes they would add a single-color image from that cartoon, and sometimes they would put the title in very large letters), and then they would print another group of the posters with a different cartoon title and image, and so on. It seems likely that the advent of World War II caused Terry to stop making a different stock poster for each year, and that they simply re-used the 1940 posters throughout the war.

Important Added Info: After the color posters were printed, they would overprint a group of the posters with a title of a particular cartoon from that year (sometimes they would add a single-color image from that cartoon, and sometimes they would put the title in very large letters), and then they would print another group of the posters with a different cartoon title and image, and so on. This poster has not been overprinted! Condition: good to very good. There is some separation in each crossfold (partially repaired with tape from the back) and there is a small tear at upper center that has been repaired with tape from the back as well. There are a few other defects that can be clearly seen in our super-sized image (more so near the edges), Learn More about condition grades
