An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Neil Hamilton was an actor from the 1910s to the 1970s. He was born in 1899, and his good looks got him a job as a teenage shirt model, which led to some film roles. His big break was in D.W. Griffith's "The White Rose" in 1923. He was in a few more Griffith movies and he signed with Paramount and became one of their leading stars in the 1920s and 1930s, and successfully transitioned to being a character actor (including in Tarzan the Ape Man in 1932), and he never had a break in his career, all the way into the 1970s! He is likely best remembered for playing Commissioner Gordon in TV's "Batman"! He passed away in 1984 at the age of 85. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Neil Hamilton! About the Collection this Item Comes From Note that this item (and 74 others we are auctioning this week, each in its own auction) was consigned to us by a man who was a major movie memorabilia dealer in the 1970s and 1980s. During that time, he was approached by an elderly man named Sterling H. Bond, who had collected autographs for many years (starting in the early 1930s), and who sold the dealer his entire collection. Bond had tracked down many important Hollywood celebrities and obtained autographed items (often personalized to him), and he also had autographs from celebrities who were not in the film business (including famous politicians!). The dealer was so impressed with this collection that rather than sell it item by item, he began collecting autographs himself, sending celebrities items by Registered Mail which they then autographed and returned to him! He also purchased a few autographed items from top autograph dealers of the 1970s and 1980s. Now, decades later, the dealer has consigned these autographed items to us. So all of these 75 autographed items we are auctioning were either obtained by long time collector Sterling H. Bond, or were obtained by this memorabilia dealer, and we feel certain that the autograph on this item is authentic! Note that each of the 75 items from this consignor all have this paragraph on them. Condition: very good. There is a tiny tear in the middle of the left border and some small creases scattered in the still, but otherwise, it is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
