The pictures show larger views of all (3) Different Unused 1954 Ring of Fear Circus Warner Brothers Movie Advertising Ad Mat Molds in this lot. The ad mats are not dated but they are from the 1954 movie. These are molds in which lead is poured to create thin metal negative images that are then mounted on a wooden blocks 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 and make print blocks from them. The print blocks would have been used to print on movie pages in newspapers, in magazines, or in the movie theater programs. The molds are made of a thick compressed paper board. The admats have small movie scene images, and they have different combinations of movie ad wording. In the order pictured, left to right, the admats are marked as follows: (left admat) EVERY CIRCUS WONDER! MICKEY SPILLANE THRILLS!
