Thanks Todd that is definitely helpful! I dont believe it to be trimmed either as, one more thing I forgot to mention, there are pinholes in the corners (about where you would expect them). If it had been trimmed I assume those would probably be lost or at least much close to the edges.
As for the other company printing are you referring to something like Globe Poster Corp. or Woolever Press? I have an old Jumbo WC for The Scarlet Empress from Globe (http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/1080/scarletempressfront.jpg) that was from the original 1934 release, but used (and re-used) in small theaters throughout West Virginia. Also, Heritage states that the 1932 United Artists release for White Zombie was somewhat lackluster. When it was re-released in 1938 it was done independently. There are of course NSS posters (and lobbies) for the 1938RR (without the UA logo), but there are also other printings as well like this one from Woolever http://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=633 <http://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=633&Lot_No=28596> &Lot_No=28596. Is it possible to have paper inspected or dated? Im not sure it would be worth the trouble or cost for this particular poster, but it sure would be nice to know. Thanks again and please everyone, keep the information coming if you have any!

Harry, This is an "other" company printed poster by an independent printer and obviously not by the studio(United Artists). Was printed on yellow stock paper and since it's 27x41, I'm sure it's the original size and not trimmed. Even with the risque artwork, it's very possible it's from the 1930's or 1940's. Doesn't look to be as late as a 60's poster. Hope this helps.

To: [email protected] Has anyone ever seen this White Zombie 1-sheet before? Full Photo: http://img813.imageshack.us/img813/3875/10431969.jpg Original Auction Photo: http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/6859/dsc00501fp.jpg Close-up Photo (silkscreen?): http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/7973/wzcloseup.jpg Here are the particulars * Paper measures a full 27"x41" * There are no borders (all white you see is the linen it is mounted on) * Folds are very straight, look like machine folds * But, the vertical fold is slightly off center -- left half measures 13 5/8", right half measures 13 3/8" (not sure if that means anything) * Printed on matte paper, not glossy * Paper is yellow all the way through (I checked the back) * The paper is thin, but has a nice texture to it... you can see some of the fibers if you look closely at the yellow parts * Printing looks like single color maybe screen print? (see close-up of woman's face above) * Regardless, definitely not computer or offset printed * No printer or artist info or fine print text whatsoever Given the rather risqué artwork and the fact that White Zombie is a public domain film over at APF we were thinking it was maybe printed locally for a 50s or 60s screening. Here is a link to the APF thread: http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,1263.0.html Have any of you ever come across this poster before? Any help in identifying it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
