More than 550 silent film-era posters and a rare 1930 Oscar statuette from the 2nd Academy Award ceremony are about to go up for auction as part of the largest collection of silent movie memorabilia ever collected.

Manley’s collection of silent film posters is widely recognized as one of the world’s most impressive, according to Heritage. It includes the largest selection of silent Westerns in the world.

Zach Pogemiller, Heritage Auctions Movie Posters associate director, called it “the best collection of silent film posters ever compiled.”

In total, Manley owns about 2,300 posters with more than 500 up for auction this coming week.

Some are just $2 (starting bids).

The bidding must have just started, because a lot of great posters are currently under $100.

Truly, works of art.

Not on the list, but a French "Neuveux" movie poster from 1916...

It takes a special type to use the Lincoln assassination to advertise your movie. Now that was an attempt to overthrow a government, unlike the January 6 off-schedule walking tour of the Capitol.

I had a copy of the King Kong poster on my bedroom wall when I was a kid.

I love the Silent era. It’s a shame so many great films have been lost.

I have been watching silent films on a streaming service app.
If anyone can recommend any other sources, I would be grateful.

And the poster shows Booth with a revolver when he actually used a single shot Derringer.
