Couple of neat old movie flyers

I was out at a local yard sale on Thursday and purchased these couple of old movie flyers.
They are not official studio posters. They are, more likely duplicates made by the local theater. The Twilight Theatre was the only theatre in Greensburg from 1917 until the 2007 tornado. It's possible that these we're made locally ( possibly on The Signal printing press) then hung and handed out around town.
The first flyer is a movie called Man of the Forest (1933) starring Randolph Scott. Scott later became a pretty if western film star.
The second one is from a film called Smokey River Serenade ( 1948) starring Ruth Terry.
These are REALLY neat because they were supposed to be thrown away once the movie ran. Someone saved them and preserved them. Pretty cool.

"Coming to America" feathered headdress

When I was looking around the prop house sale in Burbank, I saw these awesome feathered headdresses and Immediately knew what they were.

They are custom made feathered headdresses for the Eddie Murphy Film "Coming to America."

I contemplated if I actually needed to call it "the Eddie Murphy Film" since I think everyone on the planet has seen the film. If you haven't, find a tall bridge to jump off of. Do it. Now. Put your non-good movie viewing life out of its misery.

I spoke to the owner of the prop house and she confirmed that they had purchased them at an auction from either the production company or the studio.

They were incredibly well made and aside from perhaps the princes' jacket with the gold necklace they are some of the more identifying costume pieces from the film.

They were selling for $269 each, a bit steep but probably worth it for the right collector.

In LA.... Wall of boots.

I was out tooling around LA the last couple of days. I've come in to attend the baby shower of a close friend.

I was over in Burbank buying a car charger (seriously, I hope the new iPhone can go more then 4 hours on a full charge, how am I expected to finish a level of Angry Birds without power!!)
And I stopped into a prop house sale.

There were a ton of nice things.

I remember a couple of years ago a BIG prop house going out of business. It's been a struggling industry since CGI and budget constraints have reduced rental contracts.

Anywho this house had a whole wall of boots. $35 each.

Kinda neat.
