    Description

    This is the Original (1sh) 1933 Swedish Stolpe movie poster
    THE MUMMY.
    It was used by
    Universal
    to promote this movie when it was released in 1933.   The movie THE MUMMY was originally released in 1932 in the United States, and was not released in Sweden until March 11, 1933 (the same year this Swedish Stolpe was released - see 4th photo).  It is not a reprint nor a reproduction.  The movie stars
    Boris Karloff, Zita Johann, David Manners
    , Arthur Byron, and Edward Van Sloan.  It was directed by Karl Freund.
    This unrestored movie poster is Folded and measures 12.50" x  32.50.
    Most original movie posters that are pre-1985 are Folded.  This is not considered a flaw or defect.  The poster is on a heavier, stronger paper stock than your regular One Sheet original movie poster.
    This original movie poster is graded C7.5, Very Fine Minus.
    Original movie posters are graded as follows from the top down: C10 (Mint), C9 (Near Mint), C8 (Very Fine), C7 (Fine/Very Fine), C6 (Fine or Very Good), C5 (Good to Very Good), C4 (Good), etc.   This poster has a generally clean appearance and is immediately ready for framing and display.  The foxing that appears mostly in the imprint area and along the edges can be expected for an original movie poster that is about 86 years old.  T
    he imprint area is the 5" to 6" at the top that is intentional left blank so that the theater can write or stamp in the show times of the movie, the Theatre's name, or other similar items.
    Please note that on the first picture the bottom quarter of the Stolpe looks more white that light greenish.  I blame myself and the camera exposure I allowed trying to get a more "highlighted" image of the Stolpe.  In the other photos, you can see that the entire Stolpe has a lightish green background that is impacted by some foxing (browning of the background).  In a weird way that foxing is probably appropriate given that it is an original movie poster of THE MUMMY.
    We believe that the original 1933 Swedish Stolpe movie poster
    THE MUMMY
    has excellent investment value.  Just about all Universal horror movie memorabilia from the great decades of the 1930's and 1940s carry significant value and investment value.  To a good extent this value is higher in movie memorabilia released in the United States, although foreign releases can sometimes also carry similar value.  Either way considering this Swedish Stolpe original 1933 movie poster of
    THE MUMMY
    , we believe that it is quite a unique piece.
