Original Vintage 1941 Keybook  Promotional Historical Photo Still (8x10")

"All the World's a Stooge"

Rare Three Stooges  1941 KeyBook  photo for "All the World's a Stooge".     With Original studio snipe on back.           

NOTE:   Keybook  photos were photos the studio and/or Director maintained in a book that was not meant to be available to the public.     They were kept in a studio binder book, hence they typically have punch holes on the photo itself or a backing that had the holes.      These "KeyBook" photos rarely appear on the market and typically come from the estate and/or family of a director or studio executive.  

The 55th Three Stooges short film is All the World's a Stooge, which was released on May 16, 1941. The short is 16 minutes and 3 seconds long and was produced by Columbia. See studio snipe on back in image above. 

Many studios spent extra money to have their most special photos, the key book stills, either backed with linen or printed on a heavy paper, both of which enhanced their durability. They had an extra 1" at the left or top, with punch holes, because of how they were stored. Key book stills are far more rare than regular stills, which has increased their popularity among collectors, since only a few keybooks were manufactured per film, and a key book still is guaranteed to be authentic.   This still was stapled to a heavy stock back with staples (NOT glued), with the studio snipe attached to back of backing.

NOTE: We recently acquired 7 vintage Three Stooges "Keybook" photos.   See the others

  This particularly rare photo features close ups of the most revered Stooges  ensemble, i,e with Curly. .     Very good condition with handling wear and staples attaching photo to the  Keybook  page   (Holes NOT in photo itself).        But not bad condition for a nearly 80 year old Original  Columbia Pictures photo!   Size: 8x10"..

Original Key Book Still of THE THREE STOOGES (MOE, LARRY and CURLY) from a 1940's Columbia Comedy Short. It does not have the title on the snipe, just has the  Stooges film number (#55, which is thier 1941 film "All the World's a Stooge".  . The still is attached to the backing that formed the Key Book and the snipe is on the backing, not the still.   May show some slight age with wear on borders and corners. 

Note:  Cvtreasures  stamp NOT on original photo
