Sorry I'm so late replying on this one, but I've been out of town on biz.
As for the Adventures of Robin Hood lobbies, all originals were on linen finish
paper in 1938. The flat cards were from the 1945 reissue. There were also
completely different cards issued for the 1948 re-release as well. The 1945
reissues were identical to the 1938 except for two things 1) very obviously the
difference in paper stocks and 2) the clause on the bottom right of the cards
states,"Property of Warner Bros. Picutres Distrbuting Corporation." The
originals from 1938, like all Warner cards from 1937 to 1944 states, "Property
of Vitagraph Inc.," The only year Warners used the "Property of Warner Bros.
Pictures Distributing Corporation was 1945. I've been able to identify some
re-issue Casablanca cards like this as well as the film was issued in foreign
countries after the war. I've seen many examples of the Casablanca lobbies
discovered overseas having this clause in the lower right border.
Hope that helps.

That was my experience when I had the ERLICH cards side by side.

that were on flat stock that looked exactly like their earlier
linen-counterparts but were definitely re-release from the early
40's.
Steve, what was this information based on as being 100% accurate?

Hi Franc- It is kind of confusing. I've seen
re-release cards for ROBIN HOOD (Flynn) that were on flat stock that looked
exactly like their earlier linen-counterparts but were definitely

from the early 40's.
FOR GARTH: I'm curious
if those ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES have any dating of year in the
copyright info. in the bottom border?
