I just wonder if anyone might still have old DCR Films advertising they may be able to help me with.

After ten years or so looking for the pictured Super 8 DCR trailer and now having found it I am now trying to obtain if possible scans of the original DCR adverts for said trailer. Might anyone have something and perhaps be good enough to email me a scan?
Here’s hoping.

I don't know if DCR ever sent out anything more visual, but I'm afraid the ads that they used to put in publications like 'Movie Maker' were simply a column of small print, so the advertising may well have just been one line on a list of titles.

Thanks for that Adrian. Yes it’s a shame DCR didn’t put out more pictorial advertising the like of Collectors Club or Derann at the time. Would be nice to know when the trailer was issued though. It came with Pickwick Papers as well so that might give someone a clue as to adverts and dating perhaps. It’s funny with this particular trailer proving so elusive and does make me wonder if it was only available for a very short time? Many of the older collectors will remember its leading actor from 50’s TV, Saturday morning pictures and he did appear on the Ed Sullivan show a number of times in the states. Happy days.
