HEY MOPO'ers.
Pleased to give you guys first pass
on two scarce one sheets from the early 40's -1943 and 1942 to be
exact
SHERLOCK HOLMES IN
WASHINGTON
and
I MARRIED A WITCH
Both are consignments (different owners as well) so
I haven't wiggle room like usual but all offers considered. However with a
little evaluation I think you'll agree the asking prices are very
fair AND INCLUDES SHIPPING ANYWHERE IN THE CONTINENTAL US AND A FLAT
$25 ABOAD. Holmes I have only seen offered twice in 5 years and this
is one of the two. Its how I first met the inimitable Claude Litton
who promptly emailed me after prevailing over an avalanche of
snipes some 4 or 5 years ago and congratulated me. A victory made
even more satisfying. And a gentleman whose memory I would caution anyone
to challenge, he can certainly attest that the asking price
including a de-mount and linenbacking by Poster Mountain is very, very
close to break even. Onesheet is in very fine condition,
displays even better, and has had minor touch ups to fold lines primarily where
vertical and horizontal folds meet at center half way down the poster
at the center (or second) horizontal fold line as well as the
third horizontal fold line. This amounted to filling in at the cross
folds the diameter of an eraser on the end of a #2 pencil.
SHERLOCK HOLMES IN WASHINGTON
$1375
Veronica Lake has demonstrated
astonishing escalation in value with prices realized on titles as diverse
as Sullivan's Travels, The Glass Key, This Gun For Hire and The Blue
Dahlia. But I MARRIED A WITCH is truly in demand by virtue of Miss Lake
alone. This onesheet is in fine condition as is but I would
definitely have demounted and re-linenbacked for one reason, and
that is to brighten the paper. It has toning throughout then
again that only serves to demonstrate just how vibrant the colors
are. imagine the overall leap in appearance with the power of
non-invasive scrubbing bubbles and whitening agents do their trick.
A onesheet sold at Heritage two weeks ago for $4200 AND IT WAS
TRIMMED one half inch on top and bottom measuring
27 x 40. All paper is present on this one offered with pin
holes in the corners, crudely filled in and touched up. The fold lines tight
with no enhancements. Poster for some is perfectly
acceptable as is. But for a couple of hundred dollars,
remounting would prove bewitching and still fall well below the price
of the trimmed 1sht at Heritage
I MARRIED A WITCH
$3550
Let me know, a simple email, first in first out
gets you a great rare poster from the 40's. I think RARE
qualifies here yes?
