pictured at your link is 1952 or later

The one sheet from Argentina that's said to be original says that
the production company is "Enterprise Films", not RKO---maybe I'm
out of the loop, but I've never heard of Enterprise Films. It would
lead me to believe even the "original" poster is probably a 40's
re-release. As for the one that sold for $1200 on eBay, I'd be
willing to bet it's more likely a repro than anything else.

The actual artwork itself on both of these posters is identical.
What strikes me is that for a supposed 1st release poster (the ebay
copy), there are no production credits at the bottom (or anywhere
else) and no RKO logo.
The second version has production credits at the bottom, but then is
missing that small logo and the word "Presenta" at the upper right.
Because of this omission, the 3 actors' names are now not centered.
And with the name Enterprise Films in the credits, on this version,
wouldn't that suggest a later release by a local distributor?
It would be great to be able to see the small mark/symbol on the
lower right border of the ebay copy and to be able to read what is
printed in the same area of Doug's second version, too.
The bottom image is a first release poster for Kong, in Argentina.

This poster just sold on ebay:
<http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem>http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem
<http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360357329376>
&item=360357329376
It has interesting artwork, that is similar to this poster:
<http://www.burton-taylor.com/test/Posters/images/KK.jpg>http://www.burton-taylor.com/test/Posters/images/KK.jpg
My questions are:
Are they both original 1933? If so, does anyone know the difference between
the two? Did they just release two styles or is one a reprint or re-release
of some sort?
Thank you
