A few months ago at a show I bought a Casablanca Belgium (no map on back)
poster along with another poster. These were from an elderly gentleman (from
Belgium) who said he brought if from Belgium in the early 60's. It is not an
even size and has wonderful graphics that look authentic (old, but minty).
When I ask some mopo experts about it they said there were no original
posters with the printed in Belgium at the bottom in English. So I assumed
it was not real. Then last week the guy called me and said he was bringing
in some posters from an out of state friend. He brought these to another
show I was doing last weekend. He did have some Marx brothers and some Easy
Rider stills along with another Belgium Poster that the made in Belgium was
not in English. I know everything is authentic of the items he brought this
time.. I told him about the feedback I had received about the English made
in Belgium. He said that there are four languages in Belgium and some
printers do put the made in in English quite often. He said he got the
posters he sold me, including the Casablanca, from a theater he worked at as
a kid in Belgium. He reiterated that they were real and said that the
experts I talked with were wrong.
So here is an alternative to Minty Whites discussion. Are you old fossil
experts absolutely sure that all Belgium poster with made in Belgium in
English are not real? What evidence other than your statements do you have
that this is so?
Cheers,
Brek
