  • Condition: This Title Lobby Card has maintained strong details and color and is arguably presentable despite a seemingly plethora of flaws. Mainly, there are numerous pin holes in the corners, and along the border with several displaying brownish circles from aging. There are also a few pin holes to the left and right of Wayne's head. And there are several pin holes that protrude into the image area about 2" to 3" along the botton and top of the Lobby Card. There is tape on the reverse along all borders but it only shows on the front in 2 places - the left and right side borders and only an inch or so wide. There is a 1 1/2" tear at the top left border to the left of the Duke's right shoulder. The "W" and "Y" in "WAYNE" have minor smudging. And there is some general wear and aging throughout the Lobby Card. The Lobby Card has a low gloss and the main image is still very presentable with great clarity of the images with excellent color. Please review the photos carefully.

    Description

    This is the original (1sh)
    Title Lobby Card
    WEST OF THE DIVIDE
    ,
    which was used to promote the film in theatres when it was released by
    Monogram
    in 1934.   It is not a reprint nor a reproduction.   The movie stars
    John Wayne
    , Virginia Brown Faire,
    George 'Gabby' Hayes
    , Lloyd Whitlock, Yakima Canutt, Lafe McKee, Billy O'Brien, Dick Dickinson, Earl Dwire, Horace B. Carpenter, and Philip Kieffer.  It was directed by Robert N. Bradbury.
    The Title Lobby Card is Flat, neither Folded nor Rolled.  It measures 11" x 14".
    When we say it is the "
    Title" Lobby Card
    , we are clarifying that this
    Lobby  Card
    is the main one, the
    Lobby Card
    that is most similar to the One Sheet movie poster, in some cases.
    This unrestored Title Lobby Card is graded C5.5 Fine Minus.
    Original Lobby Cards, like original movie posters, are graded, from the top down, as C10 (Mint), C9 (Near Mint), C8 (Very Fine), C7 (Fine to Very Fine), C6 (Fine or Very Good), C5 (Good to Fine/Very Good), etc.  It is difficult to find any C10 (Mint) original
    Lobby Cards
    pre 1985.  The Lobby Card has maintained an acceptable appearance despite a number of flaws as previously described.  Restoration of the Lobby Card could alleviate all of these flaws and we believe that the cost of the restoration would be captured in the increased value of a restored
    WEST OF THE DIVIDE
    .  If you are interested in this Lobby Card and restoration, just let us know.  We can have the Lobby Card restored for you or refer you to a very reputable and experienced restoration company that we use.  That said, we do believe that the Lobby Card framed and displayed "as is" would make a very good appearance.  Most of the flaws occur along the border/edges which can be resolved by proper and professional framing.
    We believe that the original Title Lobby Card
    WEST OF THE DIVIDE
    , like the original One Sheet (27" x 41") of this movie, has significant investment value.
