More props from the movie.
1st is the Greyhound poster from the Union Bus Terminal, near the Baggage office:
I haven't found an exact poster or ad, but there's a close one:
I managed to decipher the text and do a good replica of the poster:
I made two versions, because I found one with the white and one with yellowish background. And because the image was upscaled with Topaz Photo AI, the text on the map is hard to read, but I'll tackle this issue in the future. The poster is huge and should print around 900 x 770 mm, but I had to downscale the images at 50% to be able to upload them.
And my replicas printed at a smaller scale (close to an A3):
The second prop, which is still a WiP, can be found in Sam Spade's office, but also at the Union Bus Terminal:
It's a TWA wall calendar from March, 1940. I found one photo on eBay and three more on WorthPoint (sadly no March):
There's a thread on RPF that already discussed this (I found this thread after I did my research) and I'm glad I found it ==>
Maltese Falcon Ronson Touch Tip Lighter.
The 3rd prop is seen only in a couple of shots (this is also a WiP) and is a matchbox called Dependable:
I found some variants of the box, but only one good candidate:
And a variant:
And now the 4th and 5th props:
You are looking at a La Croix Fils Wheat Straw cigarette paper and a bag of Bull Durham tobacco with another version of La Croix Fils attached to one side.
The correct cigarette paper cover is this (it have to say 150 leaves):
The cover was closed with a string attached to one side of the cover and run through a slot on the other cover (I'll have to do this on my replica too), similar to this variant:
And the fully recreated replica:
This should print at 84,6 x 72 mm when fully opened.
The other La Croix Fils cover is this:
And the fully recreated replica(s):
These should print at 90 x 60 mm fully opened.
The correct Bull Durham tobacco bag should be the one with the 7/8 ounce tax stamp, but so far I haven't found a bag with the la Croix Fils cover:
And as usual, the fully recreated props:
The label should print at 60 x 41 mm, the tax stamp at 141 x 17 mm, the notice strip at 19 x 137 mm, while the double sided tag at 23 mm diameter.
