The picture shows a view of all (5) Different Unused 1956 Love Me Tender Elvis Presley Movie Ad Mat Molds in this lot. The ad mats are not dated but they are from 1956 when this movie was made. These are molds in which lead is poured to create a thin metal negative image that is then mounted on a wooden block for printing. Advertising is no longer being made or printed like this. The ad mats are like a miniature 3-D posters and would look nice framed, or you could still use them to make print blocks from. The print block would have been used to print on movie pages in newspapers, in magazines, or in the movie theater programs. They are made of a thick compressed paper board. Two of these are still attached and two of these admats have an image of Elvis with a guitar. They are marked as follows: (#1) 20th CENTURY FOX PRESENTS LOVE ME TENDER STARRING RICHARN EGAN - DEBRA PAGET AND INTRODUCING ELVIS PRESLEY CINEMASCOPE MAT - 101 14 LINES x 1 COL.
