These "WOOD AD MATS" are really
Molds/Lead Forms that were intended to have molten lead poured
into to them create castings, and then discarded. This was the
way that Newspaper ads, press book Ad Mats and various
publications were produced up until the mid 1960's. Most
newspapers were done via letterpress printing and utilized
what is called hot type. The lead was melted and then used to
type out words and imprint pictures. Pictures were usually in
the form of one of these molds, which is composed of a wood
fiber material specially, designed to accept the molten
lead. Once cooled the casting was secured in the desired
position in the letterpress, inked and paper placed on top of
the lead casting. The press was then brought down under
pressure and 'whala' a spiffy movie ad for a film coming to a
theater near you! Electronic typesetting made this process
obsolete over 50 years ago!
Today's computers and
technology make this process extremely efficient. The
Extremely Fine artwork in this is just incredible! My picture
just does not do it justice at all.
This is an
ORIGINAL CASTING
MOLD AD MAT FROM THE THE 1939 FILM "GOLDEN BOY"
The mold reads: "A HEART WARMING STORY... OF EMOTIONAL CONFLICT AND ROMANCE! GOLDEN BOY
WITH
BARBARA STANWYCK
Adolphe MENJOU
William Holden
a columbia picture."
The mold measures
approximately 4 3/4" X 4 1/2"
It is in MINT UNUSED
CONDITION! These molds are great conversation
pieces and
they are RARE as the dickens! This would look
outstanding
framed in a shadowbox type
frame.
Some of my customers
include Museums located throughout the
U.S.A. they have
purchased similar Ad Mat molds to exhibit.
Once Again, these are composed of a Wood
Fiber....Please DO NOT expect something made out of
metal!
