Ok, Lawrence-a US question: why are these two Jaws posters different? I am guessing the one w/o the full credits is an advance/teaser?---EMP last sold one in 2004. Can you confirm? Thanks.
That looks like two similar Daybills. With the 2 Jaws one sheets-one is missing credits at the bottom. EMP does not indicating as an advance-couldn't find it at all on HA. Color on the top one sheet is a darker blue.
With the U.S. one sheets one would believe one is an advance / teaser and the other from the official first release.
The three daybills I believe are from three separate printings by M.A.P.S. for the first release of Jaws. CIC made a habit of printing various styles of daybill designs for a lot of Universal & Paramount films, even if only different by slight colour change or wording, in the 1970s & 1980s for whatever reason.
There is also another similar daybill printed by Robert Burton which is most likely from the 1979 U.S.re-release that played in Australia as part of a double bill with Jaws 2 in at least 1980.
I originally looked at the two images in a hurry just before I was leaving to attend a dental appointment and thought the second image was Eleanor Parker's hair but I now see it isn't. Mission impossible I would say to identify the second image.
I remembered that shade of blue from when I had originally sighted the Montana Belle daybill. It is a beautiful shade of blue you don't often see on daybill posters very often. It is interesting when you isolate a small piece of poster it is hard to match it up with the complete poster. I think my effort rates slightly higher than your not bad comment. The earlier much easier piece I solved at least received from you a very good comment. Can I receive an upgrade to very good?

WOW...That is impressive. Is there anything you don't know Lawrence!
Advance/teaser? The regular release?
Same with the Aussie too Mark?
Edit, there appears to be three printings. Look at the colour of the ratings stamp.
And here's another, no other piece exists, for the bin. But what's the title? Probably an easier one...

And the other? A LOT harder nay, near impossible I say

So clue is: It's a western with a female star.
HONDO said: Hmmm best i can do is Very Good+ I'd go higher but I had to front up with a clue.
I think it deserves an excellent plus rating.
