An example of a very scarce and desirable poster, issued in 1977 in Glendale, California, featuring a montage of images of Johnny Weissmuller (1904-1984), the actor who famously played the role of Tarzan in the series of movies between 1932 and 1948. Weissmuller signed in magic marker at lower center, and the piece is numbered 976/1500 at lower right.

A PAIR of original glossy black and white photos of actors HURD HATFIELD (1917-1998) and GENE NELSON (1920-1996), circa 1940's, both autographed and inscribed to an as yet unidentified "Wilson", which is the principal reason why I have decided to sell them together (they are also identical sizes and identically framed and matted). The Hatfield has the following inscription at left: "For Wilson--with admiration for his dancing---In friendship--Yours, Hurd Hatfield"...

Black and white photo (9 3/4" by 8", 16" by 13 3/4" framed) of Rick "Ricky" Nelson, circa late 1950's, autographed at right and inscribed "To Jill". The signature and inscription are bold and nicely placed at right center. Nelson officially changed his name to "Rick" in 1961, so this might have been signed after that. The framing seems to be circa late 1960's or 1970's. Nelson was born in Teaneck, New Jersey...

The signature is in ink at lower right (guaranteed her original ink signature and not printed). The print is after the 1879 etching by artist Jules Bastien-Lepage. This print under magnification has the dot matrix confirming it is a reproduction and not an original etching. The value is in the autograph and inscription...

Offered is a vintage orange-colored knit tunic such as would be worn by Star Trek series star William Shatner, along with a hand signed photo of him. Acquired in New England, I had investigated the possibility of this being a show-worn artifact, which would have been worth perhaps $10,000 in the open market for entertainment memorabilia...

A clean, fresh copy of the 2011 book "If You Ask Me", by the late American actress Betty White (1922-2021). This was the sixth book written by the beloved actress and pop culture icon.

The actress was active and in the public spotlight long after most would have retired...

A copy of 1971's bestseller book "The Exorcist", by William Peter Blatty, published by Harper and Row, this copy in dust jacket and **SIGNED** in black marker pen by the author. This may or may not be a first edition, but apparently it is not "first state" even if it is, as the last number on the last page is a "5". The book exhibits some sunning/stain on the spine itself (as opposed to the dust jacket), with a previous owner's name written in front, and the dust jacket has some wear, including...

A really unusually nice signed photo from the Harry Potter phenomenon, of star actor Daniel Radcliffe, on an iconic image of him with crossed arms. The photo is hand inscribed in silver marker: "Thank you! Daniel Radcliffe AS Harry Potter". No date. There are many autographed photos of him on the market but on many the signature is only very rapidly scrawled, and the photo is not as simple, direct, and classic. This example is a keeper.

This is a very unique item........NOT a print! It is an original drawing in pastel and gouache on a soft old board, measuring 40" by 30" extreme dimensions. The subject is a lovely young Gloria Swanson in a classic 20's 'do, probably created for some kind of advertising purpose like a lobby card, poster, etc., although I haven't found any printed item corresponding to this particular work (though I haven't looked exhaustively). See the net for much more information on the classic 1924 silent ...
