An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 28" x 41" [71 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Tim McCoy, the 1930s cowboy western stock poster for Tim McCoy movies. Frugal theater owners would get one of these posters and use it every time they showed a Tim McCoy movie (they could write the title in the blank area, or glue on a paper snipe getting many uses out of a single poster!). 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 a "stock" insert created by Puritan Pictures for use by theaters showing Tim McCoy movies in the 1930s. This particular stock poster is undated, but it is surely from the late 1930s. Theaters would order this poster, which has a large yellow blank rectangle at the bottom. The theater would either write in the name of the specific Tim McCoy movie they were showing that week (or glue on a paper snipe), thus getting many posters for the price of one. In the case of this poster, it is overprinted with the title for Aces and Eights, the 1936 Sam Newfield cowboy western poker gambling action crime melodrama ("Gentleman Tim, steel-nerved gambler of the old world!") starring Tim McCoy, Luana Walters, Rex Lease, Wheeler Oakman, and J. Frank Glendon. Note that the title of this movie was taken from the legendary "Dead Man's Hand", which was the winning poker hand Wild Bill Hickok was holding when he was shot in the back, and ever since that specific hand has always been referred to in this way. Also note that this one-sheet measures 28" x 41" [71 x 104 cm]. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good.
