The picture shows a view of the (3) Unused ©1958 Return of Dracula & The Flame Barrier Movie Ad Mat Molds in this lot. Two of these are still attached. These ad mats are not dated but they are from ©1958 when these two movies were 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 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. Two of these admats have images of a pretty lady, Dracula, and an image of a men. The image admat has a actor, but we do not know which of the two movies he was in. These are marked as follows: DRACULA THE MOST TERRIFYING NAME IN THE WORLD! THE RETURN OF DRACULA PLUS 2nd CHILLING HIT! THE FIRST SATELLITE THAT RETURNED TO EARTH ... AND THE HELL IT BROUGHT WITH IT! ''THE FLAME BARRIER'' RELEASED THRU UA UNITED ARTISTS THE RETURN OF DRACULA PLUS 2nd CHILLING HIT! ''THE FLAME BARRIER'' RELEASED THRU UA UNITED ARTISTS (image of an Actor) The single ad mat here measures about 4-3/8'' x 2-1/4''.
