Description :

Benton Card Company of North Carolina originated movie card advertisements for theatre windows in the 1940s and are still printing today. This lot includes 5 window cards from Benton, but we are unsure how old 4 of the 5 are – the fact that they are in impeccable condition for older movies makes us think they are more current productions, but they retain the great design quality the company is known for.  All measure 22” x 14”.

The Thing  

Earth vs. the Flying Saucers

Voyage to the End of the Universe

Rocketship X-M

Final window card IS DEFINITELY vintage from Benton. It’s for a double-action double-header of Jet Attack & Suicide Battalion. The card shows its age – from 1958. Measures approx. 22” H x 14” W.

One broadside promo for theater owners listing posters & info for The Thing. Measures approx. 17” H x 11” W.
