I was contacted in 2002 by folks who had visited my original website where I posted a number of papers found in the &quot;Steele Box&quot; As you may already know the site is no longer out there but is was called &quot;1800&#039;s Ephemera&quot;.&nbsp; The folks who contacted me were from Disney and producing a movie call &quot;Open Range&quot;. They asked me if I would be willing to make them copies of a few pieces of paper that were found in the box and send them to them on a CD which I did. They told me they were looking for props and the images that they chose may or may not be used in the movie itself.&nbsp; I sent them a copy of a &quot;Missing&quot; poster/broadside and one of a hand painted paint sample sheet that you can see below.</p><p><br /></p><p>The movie starred Kevin Costner (Star/Director), Robert Duvall, Anette Benning and other very good actors and it was a very good movie in my opinion. Anyway I never though that the images would show up in the movie and yet they did. One was modified where they changed the name of the person that appeared on the original was &quot;Richard V. Hall&quot; which was changed to &quot;Robert Sheridan&quot;.&nbsp; These images appear in two scenes in the movie, one in the jail and the other in the hardware store. Was I excited to see at least one the answers is yes. Up until today I never knew if the other &quot;Missing&quot; poster ever made it. I scrolled through a few scenes and sure enough I found it hanging on a wall. The other is inside of the hardware/general store next to the door. These papers are pretty neat for that reason alone. Who knew that the &quot;Steele Box&quot; papers would be in a movie when movies were not even invented yet. Small world. If you are wondering who owns the images no matter where they go it&#039;s me. Yes I still own the papers and the original images that were sent to Disney. I also have supporting emails a some paperwork that supports that.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]326893[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]326894[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]326895[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]326896[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]326897[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
