It is ©1955, 1988. The ad mats are not dated but they are from 1955 when this movie was made. These are molds 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 mats are like miniature 3-D posters and would look nice framed, or you could still use them to make print blocks. 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 admats have the title, actors names, and images of the octopus looking creature attacking buildings, cars, and people. They are marked as follows: PRIMOTIAL MONSTER ATTACKS THE WORLD!
