Original Unrestored Film Posters To Sell Online

Inaugural Sale For Georgia Auction House Will Take Place On April 15

Newly formed Opportunities 2 Auction House, based in Macon, Ga., will introduce itself to the collecting community with an online auction of original, unrestored vintage movie posters on Saturday, April 15, starting at 10 a.m. Over 140 lots will come up for bid from a single consignor. The catalog is live now and open for bidding on LiveAuctioneers.com.

It’s like opening a time capsule. Many were never used for display and were still in the envelope, as originally shipped to the theater.”

The posters span four decades, from the 1960s to the 1990s. They include all genres, from action/adventure to musicals to horror, so there is something for just

Continued from page 5 the two monsters engaged in battle, measures 22-by-28 inches.

The movie was filmed in Japan and features an all-Japanese cast. Speaking of apes, a onesheet poster for “Go Ape!” (20th Century Fox, 1974), from that year’s Planet of the Apes Film Festival, promoted the 1974 reissue of all five of the Planet of the Apes films, which enjoyed a huge audience.

A one-sheet poster for “The Italian Job” (Paramount, 1969), the classic caper film starring Michael Caine and a cult favorite, boasts fabulous graphics, making it one of the most highly sought after movie posters of the 1960s. Elvis fans rejoice! The King will appear multiple times in the auction, including on a threesheet poster, 41-by-79 inches, for the film “Spinout” (MGM, 1966), co-starring Shelley Fabares of The Donna Reed Show fame, in two panels as originally produced, and a 14by-36 inch insert for “Viva Las Vegas” (MGM, 1964), co-starring Ann-Margret, with color as vibrant as the movie itself, which paired two of the biggest stars of the time.

Both Beatles movies that featured the Fab Four in live acting roles will be in the sale, including a three-sheet poster for “HELP!” (United Artists, 1965), in near-mint condition with vibrant colors, two panels as originally printed, and a onesheet poster for “A Hard Day’s Night” (United Artists, 1964), the group’s black-and-white debut film (the poster is in color), directed by Richard Lester, co- starring Wilfred Brambell as Paul’s grandfather.

In addition to “Jaws,” the horror genre will include a three-sheet poster for “Frankenstein Conquers the World,” starring Nick Adams, and a one-sheet poster for “Destroy All Monsters,” with Andrew Hughes, artwork for both by Reynold Brown. Both films were distributed in 1969 by American International and featured American and Japanese actors.

A three-sheet, one-panel poster for “Once Upon a Time in the West” (Paramount, 1969) is in near-mint condition. The movie was one of the greatest Westerns ever filmed and also had a star-studded cast, one that included Henry Fonda, Charles Bronson and Jason Robards.

A small sign from the ship with the word SALOON went for $13,200. The Steward’s key to the ship’s wine storage room sold for $9,300.

Six applied-top beer bottles, some still intact with original beer contents, sold for an average of $1,087 each. Thirtysix Cuban cigars apparently brought on board when the ship stopped in Havana on the voyage to New York City were offered in 18 separate lots of two cigars per lot and sold for as much as $720 per pair, and a 5-foot long scale model of the S.S. Central America created in 1991 sold for $50,400.

This was the second and final auction of never-beforeoffered artifacts from the S.S. Central America. The first auction of 270 other items in December 2022 attracted nearly $1 million in winning bids, including $114,000 for the oldest known pair of miner’s heavy-duty work pants that may have been made by or for the Levi Strauss Company.
