1923-1925 A Collection of Five Original Silent Western Film Lobby Cards - A collection of five original vintage theatrical lobby cards from the silent film era, dated between 1923 and 1925. This group includes a title card and a scene card for Pete Morrison in the 1925 Universal Western production The Gun Packer. Also included is a color-tinted card for the 1924 film Gold and Grit starring Buddy Roosevelt, featuring a dynamic action scene and a stylized logo with the initials B.R. in the lower corner. The collection is rounded out by a black and white scene card for William Desmond in the 1924 Universal picture Measure of a Man and a scene card for Dustin Farnum in the 1923 William Fox presentation Three Who Paid. The cards are produced on a semi-rigid cardstock using monochrome, sepia, and color-tinted halftone printing processes. Inscriptions on the lower margins of several cards denote Country of Origin and Production U.S.A. along with their respective film titles and studio credits. Measurements: approximately 11 x 14.25 inches each. These items are in good to very good vintage condition, exhibiting characteristics consistent with theatrical use. General age-toning and minor yellowing are visible across the surfaces. Small pinholes are present in the corners where the cards were likely tacked for display. Edges and corners show minor bumping and light shelf wear. The reverse of the cards displays areas of foxing and light moisture staining, with some ink ghosting visible through the paper stock. No significant tears, creases, or material losses are present.
