It's a Wonderful Life Daybill (RKO, 1946)
It's a Wonderful Life (RKO, 1946). Trimmed Australian Daybill (12.75" X 30"). This great title was auctioned yesterday at Heritage on a Sunday auction and interesting how they call it "Trimmed". I guess they don't know much about australian RKO posters over there. If I were the consignor I would have blasted them for listing it on a sunday auction, because its clearly a signiture auction title. Anyway it sold for $1075.50 US currency converted $1329.44 AUD. I was actually going to bid on it but refrained from doing so, thanks to our resident chief's Australia day auction coming up! Anyhow I thought it would have went for a bit more. Any thoughts?

Did we not discuss the same thing about the Kid Stakes daybill though?
Another Australian daybill poster that for whatever reason there was no printer's. credits printed on the poster.
There was another RKO daybill printed around 1945 without printer's credits also that springs to mine. The title was The Spanish Main.
