Gone With the Wind Movie Premiere Ticket

“Gone With the Wind” movie premiere ticket, datelined 15 December 1939, Loew’s Grand Theatre, Atlanta, GA. Seating on partial ticket marked “Center X 105.” The epic Civil War-set romantic drama, based on the Margaret Mitchell novel and starring Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh, premiered in Atlanta, Georgia, on 15 December 1939 as the climax of three days of festivities hosted by Atlanta’s mayor which consisted of a parade of limousines featuring the film’s stars, receptions, thousands of Confederate flags, false antebellum fronts on stores and homes, and a costume ball. More than 300,000 people attended the festivities, at which the Governor of Georgia declared December 15th a state holiday. President Jimmy Carter would later recall the movie’s premiere as “the biggest event to happen in the South in my lifetime.” From December 1939-June 1940, “Gone With the Wind” played only advance-ticket road show engagements at a limited number of theaters, before it went into general release in 1941. The film went on to become the most successful movie of all time. Near mint. Sold for $2,096.

Exceptionally Rare ”Gone With the Wind” Jewelry Collection Issued to Promote the Film During the 1939 Christmas Season

Gorgeous and scarce set of jewelry issued by Hickok Jewelry, sold during the 1939 holiday season to promote ”Gone With the Wind,” which was released in January 1940. Clark Gable promoted the jewelry collection in advertisements for Hickok, and this set was reportedly owned by the then Vice President of the company. Is it possibly a salesman’s sample, as each piece of jewelry is carefully laid out in a display box with prices. Set consists of a necklace and tie clip each featuring lockets with photos of Scarlett O’Hara and Rhett Butler, four additional necklaces, seven additional tie clips, one gold chain and two pins — one a rifle and one a sword. All items are fashioned in the design of ”Gone With the Wind” in gold finish and opulently-colored faux jewels. All pieces are laid out in the original fold-out presentation box that features photos of Scarlett O’Hara and Rhett Butler on the cover. All jewelry pieces are stamped ”Hickok” and are in very good to near fine condition with working clasps. Box measuring 16” x 15” has some discoloration and abrasions; overall very good condition. A beautiful and scarce set, perhaps the only one now still available. Sold for $5,027.
