| The picture shows a view of all (3) Unused 1954 Creature From The Black Lagoon Movie Ad Mat Molds in this lot. These mat molds are not 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 posters and would look nice framed, or you could still use them to make print blocks from. 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 with a man and a woman, and one of the Creature in the water. From the top to the bottom they are marked as follows: (#1)
''THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON''
(1C) (#2)
''THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON''
(2-A) (#3)
