| The picture shows a view of this (3) Unused 1954 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea Walt Disney Movie Ad Mat Molds. The molds are still attached. The ad mats are not dated but they are from the 1954 movie. 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 a miniature 3-D poster and would look nice framed, or you could still use them and make print blocks from them. 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. These admats have movie scene images of some of the actors in the movie. They are marked as follows: (#1)
