An owner of the daybill for Love Me Tender graciously agreed for me to share with you this much better image, and based off this picture, we have a winner. Printed by Robert Burton as suggested by Lawrence. Case closed now?
Very happy. Case is indeed closed. Pity the Robert Burton credit was missing from the original Love Me Tender image that was posted. One thing to finish up with is it is rare for Robert Burton's credit to be in red or any other colour. Usually printed in blue / black.

For those who still wish to see the Love Me Tender daybill, here is my good deed for the day.
To be added to the list of missing daybills, particularly of interest to Bogart fans, and for Ves who loves David Niven, are the following.
Dead End ( 1937 ), Re-released by Ray Films in Australia in 1954.
Raffles ( 1939 ). Re-released by Ray Films in Australia in 1954.
For any interested parties don't hold out too much hope for great looking daybills turning up though. They most likely will have been drawn in a similar style to The Westerner and Wuthering Heights, films also from the back catalogue of Samuel Goldwyn, and re-released in Australia circa 1954.
Dead End and Raffles mentioned in the Australian Women's Weekly City film guide from a 1954 publication.
As this thread was introduced to cover missing Australian film daybills from the 1950's and the 1960's, I rarely mention films released before or after this period. In this case though I will mention that the original The Westerner ( 1940 ) and Wuthering Heights ( 1939 ) United Artists long daybills are also missing in action.
Thanks Chris for sharing the wonderful Marchant daybill image.
I thought I would share the following newspaper article from 1954, talking about the Samuel Goldwyn back catalogue re-releases purchased by Ray Films in Australia. I had previously mentioned this topic on March 30 of this year. Sorry for the quality of the article but that is how it came.
I certainly agree with Mark that the daybill produced for this 1933 film Below The Sea should have been impressive. The Australian ad block material used in the newspaper advertisement is very similar to this U.S. artwork on this poster, so the Australian daybill artwork , one would think, would be somewhat similar in design. The Columbia Pictures logo from this period looks great and the wonderful design and colour really stand out.
Personally, I rate Kong as No.2 on list of all-time most desirable titles, just behind Metropolis. Question is: will a first release Australian poster ever turn up?

Yeah, that would be a no. They are just as dedicated as you are...

Craig's image of The Conqueror ( 1956 ), which I had copied, is back.

Shadow Of The Boomerang ( 1960 ) daybill has just turned up through Bruce. Not the best artwork by any means but it is rare filmed in Australia title.
Shadow Of The Boomerang is doing well at present in Bruce's auction.
Looking forward to seeing who snags what!
Here is a handy checklist to help tell eMoviePoster.com apart from all other major auctions!
