| The picture shows a view of the (7) Unused 1955 Conquest of Space Science Fiction Movie Ad Mat Molds in this lot. The ad mats are not dated but they are from 1955 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. It is made of a thick compressed paper board. The two top admats pictured have an image of space station. A few of the others have an image of a planet. In the order pictured, these are marked as follows: (#1)
