#CH326-41 - 1944 The Town Went Wild Movie Poster Broadside - "Gayest New Comedy"

Click the picture to see a larger more detailed image. Vintage 13 1/2" tall paper movie poster/broadside from the 1944 movie "The Town Went Wild". Says "The Season's Newest and Gayest New Comedy Hit!". "Gay" had a very different meaning during this time period, which makes the poster interesting. It's an uncommon poster.

Back in the day, when a new movie was going to play at the local theatre, there would be a guy who would run around town tacking these things on bulletin boards, telephone poles, fence posts, or anyplace else where they might be seen. Because most were outdoors, few have survived. Some will have small edge tears or roughness, but this is true of all paper movie broadsides, and they can easily be trimmed for framing. Although, a few small imperfections kind of adds to the look with these. Colors vary. We got them from the estate of famous dealer and friend Bob Secrist. He found them in the storage area of an old theatre up in Northeast Ohio.

##MUSICBQ0232 - 1989 The Who Licensed Pinback Button from "Button-Up"

Click the picture to see a larger more detailed image. Vintage colorful picture of album cover for the Who's Quadrophenia album. Marked "Copyright 1989 P.P.M.C. (the mark that is common on a lot of Who licensed merchandise)" around the rim, and from the late 1980s. It also says "Button-Up Co. 2011 Austin" (Please note - 2011 Austin Drive, Troy MI was their address, and the "2011" is often mistaken for the date - they are substantially older than that). These licensed types are very scarce, yet easy to identify by the licensing info on the side of the button. Most of the musical pinbacks that you see for sale on Ebay or other online sites are reproductions. These licensed types retail for much higher prices. They are unused, and we uncovered them very recently in an old vending warehouse here locally.
