| | | The picture shows a view of this Unused 1956 Forbidden Planet Science Fiction Movie Ad Mat Mold. The ad mat is not dated but it from 1956 when this movie was made. This is a mold 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 mat is like a 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 images of Robby the Robot, Dr. Edward Morbius, Altaira, and a flying saucer. It is marked as follows: IT'S OUT OF THIS WORLD AMAZING! EARTHMEN ON A FABULOUS PERIL JOURNEY INTO OUTER SPACE!
