Vintage theater curtain for sale

posted by jonjay on July 11, 2008 at 7:45am

I purchased a theater curtain from a fellow remodeling a gymnasium over 20 years ago. He said he found it in the rafters. The curtain seems to date from the 1920’s and features advertisements from the Midvale-Stockbridge-Munnsville area of New York. This would be in Madison & Onieda counties. 

As of yet, I have been unsuccessful in my efforts to find out the origins of this theater. No one in the town seems to be aware of an old demolished theater. The curtain is 25’ wide and about 16’ tall. It features a 7’ round painting of art nouveau ladies in the center in addition to the above mentioned advertisements. Anyone with any interest should contact me for further information and pictures. It’s a glorious item that would enhance any existing refurbished theater.
