Within the trailer sub-field is the sub-sub-field of trailers for lost films. This is all that remains of the first film adaptation of The Great Gatsby (silent, 1926). Note it uses the all-seeing eyes motif of the famous book cover.

I've loved movie trailers since I was a kid. I can still remember a few of them from over 60 years ago even though I have forgotten the main feature.
Started a collection of trailers some years ago and have 167, to date, from the silent era to modern, with an eye to adding more. When in the mood, I'll run an hour or so of them.
Here is William Castle's Macabre. The trailer is better than the movie.

As with silent trailers, I'm fascinated by pre codes. Here's a Warners melodrama of the Russian Revolution. In excellent shape technically.

The Thin Man (1934) This may have been the first trailer to feature newly shot scenes with the film's star (instead of just clips from the film itself)
