Hi Phil-
Thanks for your quick reply and confirming my experience with this particular
sheet and others. Anyone else? Was this slight variance an issue and true
of all companies across the board before NSS?

Steve,
Without digging out all kinds of posters, I believe I have a large number of
posters from the 20's and 30's that are larger that what might be considered
standard for (lacking a better term) the NSS 27" x 41" years. Many of mine are
larger than that. Many approaching 28" by 42" A half sheet being actually half
of that size and a lobby card actually being tuckable with a folded one-sheet.
That being said, while I don't have smaller one sheets from that period as
you describe, I do have some 3 sheets and 6 sheets (Bob Steele and
Universal/Adventure Eddie Polo serials come to mind) which were printed on
individual single sheets similar to the size that you are mentioning. Some of
those 6 sheets are (for example) 78 or 76 inches square, where 81" x 81" is a
more common measurement later on when they were printed as combinations of one
sheets and two sheets.
Regards,
Phil Ayling

Need some opinions and experiences, please. Those who know me in the hobby
know that my collecting tastes center around posters from the 20's - 40's (all
shapes and sizes and genres....a generalist) to be sure)..
My question regards stone-lithos from the late 20's, specifically Morgan
Co. Recently I traded a 1 sheet, linen-backed from a late silent 1928 Ramon
Novarro film. The backing had been done in the late 80's/early 90's by Igor
Edelemen (sp?). The previous owner of the poster had trimmed the linen border
up to about 1/2 inch from the paper. No paper appeared to be missing and, in
fact, there was a nice even border of off-white all around (not to mention a
hairline linen lip). The 1 sheet itself was a bit off-sized.... about......27"
x 40". Again, no trimming was apparent. The question for collectors,
dealers, restorationists, etc. Is this a single instance of "off sizing" or
have you seen other silent material that was just a bit off? Since these
posters were printed and distributed...by Morgan, Tooker, Contenental, etc. and
not the NSS, it seems this could be so. I also have a Wallace Reid 1 sheet
from 1919 by Morgan and it also is off-sized....just a tick longer in this case
going across.
I realize that we ae not looking at a great size difference in these
examples, but I am curious. Thanks in advance for any insights.
