Thanks, Steve. That's very helpful. And it answers a question I kept having about why Field of Dreams stills I came across were black and white.

Don't forget the re-releases. If a film becomes a cult favorite it was often re-released with new publicity materials made. Here is a lobby card from Monkey Business, a 1931 film, but it is actually from the re-release in 1949. The notation at the bottom says so:

I think the re-release material "usually" has the newer date on them, although that may not always be true. I did notice on the re-release of Pride of the Yankees (and what looks like on Monkey Business) when there are numbers like 142/300 etc that the re-release numbers are larger and darker than the original release counterparts. Don't know if that's the norm or not.
