Important Added Info: Note that this set of stills has a great provenance! Johnny Crawford, who first came to fame as the son in the TV series "The Rifleman" and later became a band leader loved movies, and early on he collected many movie stills and more. This set of 8x10 stills was consigned to us from his collection! Note also that the stills are glued to a linen-like backing (we think it is highly likely that these are key book stills, and that someone trimmed away the extra 1" from the top of the still, no doubt so it could be put in a frame). Note that we previously auctioned a set of five stills from this film from the same collection, and those were mostly all great vertical portraits of Cooper and Ralston, and those sold for $725. These stills have close horizontal portraits of Cooper and Ralston! Condition: very good. As noted above, approximately 1" of the left edge of each key book still was neatly trimmed off. Each has a few light scuffs and tiny indentations that are mostly only noticeable when the still is tilted to the light and some creases around the edges. Overall the key book stills are in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
