Hi allen - I have no idea about this piece however... the size makes
me think it could have been a insert page in a film trade magazine
like exhibators news or showmans trade review... as they where
large.. Also Variety and others placed insert items in them.. However
the RKO DIsney I saw in the trades for other Disney films the only
think is the edge would be cut if it was saddlestitched into the
mag.. or the loose insert method. If you find who had a 11 x 17
format that could narrow down
Otherwise it may have been a war effort publication for small film
distribution areas or Disney in house publications. They did so many
odd items I have some Christmas cards they did that Fold out. Sorry I
cannot help more as I never saw one and the fact there are reprints
makes it tough. If you can find dots in the printing that would mean
its at least a litho. If not then its digi... Unless it was screen
printed. get a jewlers loop and look under that magnification

>>Howdy y'all,
>>
>>I acquired a puzzling poster today.
>>
>>At first glance, I dismissed as reproduction/reprint/what-have-you.
>>
>>At 2nd/3rd/4th look, I purchased and brought home for some research.
>>
>>The Art of Self Defense, Disney poster starring Goofy
>>
>>Odd size: 11" x 17" ... to be more exact: 10 7/8" x 16 3/4"); under
>30x magnification, does not appear to be trimmed.
>>Distributed by RKO Radio Pictures Inc.
>>
>>I apologize for not having a pic of the item in this message;
>however, I did find another example online:
>>
>>250162.1020.A.jpg
>>
>>
>>If the above link is inoperable, please check the title at from
>Moviegoods.com.
>>
>>While the example from moviegoods.com is representative, it is not
>the same:
>>
>>The example that I have: darker blue on Goofy's legs, upper
>background is more of an orange shade, and the color at bottom edge
>is light yellow (that is faint in places)
>>If not for the dark blue on the legs, I would state that the poster
>may be faded (when comparing to the online example).
>>
>>But, the paper ...
>>
>>passes the smell test.
>>passes the feel test.
>>passes the blacklight test.
>>
>>Under 30x magnification, the color printing appears to be
>micro-lines with in-fill color screen printing.
>>
>>There are no identifying printer's marks, other than RKO(at bottom)
>and W.D.P. (by Goofy's foot); no marks or writing on reverse,
>>
>>It appears to be a 3-4 color process
>>
>>The blue and yellow colors in the poster has a minimal/moderate
>reflection in light glare.
>>
>>
>>I have gone back and forth between absolutely certainty of an
>artificially aged reprint to a cautious optimism of an unknown
>vintage printing, but I am definitely leaning towards the
>artificially aged reprint.
>>
>>Ok ... well ...
>>
>>Anyone have insights?
>>Anyone encounter this type of poster?
>>Anyone encounter this poster size?
>>
>>BTW .. If anyone needs any close-up pics, please reply.
>>
>>Thanks in advance for anyone who may provide any info.
>>
>>If you made it this far, I appreciate your patience.
