warehouse FIND circa 1980 well. this is 100% TRUE story ... I can
tell you some storys of warehouse finds of all kinds of stuff because
when i started ther wasnt a internet
and we just would list stuff in magazines and call people... it was very
funny now that I think about it..
well one of my largest finds was found on the day Reagan was shot by
Hinckley... I was in Downtown
Toledo at the Hirsh bookstore.. Maury Hirsh was selling out .. He stated
in 1924 with a Model t truck and a street vendor magazine stand.. I
still have a pic of that stand he gave me..
well Maury and his wife had a great toledo legendary Bookshop and he
was quite the businessman.
well I didnt attend the sale to like the last week,,, and when I got
there i noticed losts of old things
and on the counter was a box of 1940s postcards unused lined and some
wher ww2 and some comic cards and some old black racial type and anti
hitler... Most were of scenes of Toledo OHIO
well.. he wanted 35 cents a piece..... I said ILL take em all.....and
then I asked " Do You have any MORE??"
Well he looked and said SONNY come this way..... he took me in some room
and there were 100 unopened boxes of 1000 in each box..... there were
folder postcards you name it......
so he said take all 300 a box,,, I think,,,,,
well they were so heavy when i loaded my van,,, that I blew out a tire
in the middle of downtown
and cold jack the van up so i had to hire a tow truck as I was waiting
the radio announced Regan was
shot.. then my bettery went dead.... so I thought great now what////
Anyways I also bought magazines he had saved from the 30s and 40s UNREAD
like new,..
and some old toys...
What amazed me is that all during the sale this stuff was availible and
none inquired,,,,
I sold these for years and years to collectors and stores and all
over... actually I still have about 1000
First MOPO preson to email me.. Ill pop some in the mail to YOU FREE
as a Hollywood dream Factory® fun surprise for 3-11-08

I often wonder how the old posters have survived all these years. I'm
talking about posters from the 1910's, 20's and 30's.
Who was saving these things? It's not like they were worth any money.
The original owners were probably long gone by the time these posters
became valuable.
I'm curious to know if most posters survived mostly because they were
in some movie theater/studio warehouse or if it was just regular
people who had a couple posters in their house over the years
I'd also like to know if anyone has ever been able to trace the
history of a specific poster that they own all the way to the actual
movie theater where the poster was displayed during the films original
run.
