Item Description
7.5x8.5" photo copy from a Warner Bros. press book shows the offer made to theater owners picturing both of these tabs. Each is 2-1/8" tall. Both once had the stems folded but they are now unfolded. Each also has 1/8" horizontal bump on the left side apparently as produced by the machine that stamped these out. One says "Seen James Dean?" while other says "I've Seen James Dean In 'East Of Eden'!" Text tells owner to use the first when the coming attraction is run and then use the second during the picture's run. A little paint wear on each but nice bright color and still with gloss. In spite of the number that must have been given out in the 1950s these are quite rare surviving examples.
