These were from an elderly gentleman (from Belgium) who said he brought if from Belgium in the early 60s. It is not an even size and has wonderful graphics that look authentic (old, but minty). When I ask some mopo experts about it they said there were no original posters with the printed in Belgium at the bottom in English. So I assumed it was not real. Then last week the guy called me and said he was bringing in some posters from an out of state friend. He brought these to another show I was doing last weekend. He did have some Marx brothers and some Easy Rider stills along with another Belgium Poster that the made in Belgium was not in English. I know everything is authentic of the items he brought this time.. I told him about the feedback I had received about the English made in Belgium. He said that there are four languages in Belgium and some printers do put the made in in English quite often. He said he got the posters he sold me, including the Casablanca, from a theater he worked at as a kid in Belgium. He reiterated that they were real and said that the experts I talked with were wrong. So here is an alternative to Minty Whites discussion. Are you old fossil experts absolutely sure that all Belgium poster with made in Belgium in English are not real? What evidence other than your statements do you have that this is so?
