This is a mold in which lead is poured into 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 mat is like miniature 3-D poster and would look nice framed, or you could still use it and make print blocks from it. 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. This admat has the title, actors names, and an image of the Creature in chains and people. It is marked as follows: NEW THRILL WONDER 3-D HORRORSCOPE! MONSTER ESCAPES! CITY IN TERROR!
