These molds are great conversationpieces and they are RARE as the dickens! This would look outstandingframed in a shadowbox type frame. Again these are composed of a Wood Fiber....Please don't expect something made out of metal!The third of actor Hugo Haas' endeavors as producer-director, Strange Fascination is at least superficially better and more original than the first two. While it's true that Haas once more deploys the theme of a middle-aged man falling hopelessly in love with a much-younger woman, he eschew his usual fondness for melodrama in favor of sentiment. Haas plays Paul Marvan, an international renowned concert pianist. Marvan's career goes into eclipse almost immediately after his marriage to the beautiful Margo (Cleo Moore, in the first of her many Hugo Haas films). It isn't anyone's fault, really: it is simply that Cruel Fate is dead set against Mr. and Mrs. Marvan ever enjoying true happiness. The grimly ironic finale of Strange Fascination is proof positive that there is, indeed, a long long time from May to December. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie GuideThese "WOOD AD MATS" are really Molds/Lead Forms that wereintended to have molten lead poured into to them create castings, andthen discarded. This was the way that Newspaper ads, press book Ad Matsand various publications were produced up until the mid 1960's. Mostnewspapers were done via letterpress printing and utilized what iscalled hot type. The lead was melted and then used to type out wordsand imprint pictures. Pictures were usually in the form of one of thesemolds, which is composed of a wood fiber material specially, designedto accept the molten lead. Once cooled the casting was secured in thedesired position in the letterpress, inked and paper placed on top ofthe lead casting. The press was then brought down under pressure and'whala' a spiffy movie ad for a film coming to a theater near you!Electronic typesetting made this process obsolete over 40 years ago!Today's computers and technology make this process extremely efficient.The Extremely Fine artwork in this is just incredible! My picture justdoes not do it justice at all.
