Bruce,
I believe this is a special promo poster printed, probably from the same
plates as the original, for the Daisy company at the time of the film's
original release. An employee of the Daisy company was selling one of
these locally. I didn't buy it, since I have 2 copies of the original,
but it does not appear to be a repro. (Nice that it's unfolded!)
Interesting that Daisy would use this for promo; "You'll put your eye
out." isn't a great tag line.

I need some expert opinions on a one-sheet for 'Christmas Story" I
recently purchased. I have compared it to one I own which I am sure is
an original. The art is the same, the quality of the printing is the
same and both are 27" x 41". The one I am questioning has no NSS
statement or NSS number and no GAU. It does have a studio copywrite
(MGM/UA) within the artwork.It has never been folded. The seller
claims to have acquired it from the Service & Repair Dept. at an old
Daisy factory 20 years ago.
What do I call this? Is it an original that was never meant for
theatre distribution. Is it a repro?
All input will be greatly appreciated.
