An Original Vintage Printing Block (measures 3 3/4" x 3 3/4" x 1") (Learn More) Elke Sommer (born Elke Schletz) is a sexy blonde German actress from the 1950s to the present. She was born in 1940 and her father was a Lutheran minister, but sadly he died when she was just 14. Her mother let her go to England when she was just 16 to be an au pair to an actress, and the following year director Vittorio De Sica discovered her and she was in movies when she was 17. Some of her movies include: A Shot in the Dark, The Victors, The Prize, The Wrecking Crew, and The Money Trap. She memorably had pictorials in the September 1964 and December 1967 issues of Playboy magazine. She moved back to Germany in the 1980s, and continued to act there, in both movies and on TV. She much later moved to Los Angeles and as of 2023 is still alive at the age of 83! Important Added Info: Note that this is one of 15 different print blocks we are auctioning in this set of auctions, each in its own auction. Print blocks like this were made for a local theater by their local newspaper, and then the ad shown on the print block was printed in the local paper to get people to come to that movie. The print block has a negative image with reversed writing, because the newspaper would show a mirror image of it (and you can see that image by putting ink on the print block and stamping it onto paper, or you can digitally reverse the image). The public learned of print blocks like these a number of years ago when a pair of women discovered a huge collection of them and brought them to the TV show "Antiques Roadshow", where they were appraised for millions of dollars. But you can purchase one or more of these 15 for a fraction of that amount, because each starts at $1 with no reserve! Note that this item needs to be shipped in a box, which might be a fairly small box, or might be a very large box. What is important for the bidders to know is that this item likely CAN'T be combined with other purchases, because there would not be much savings if any, because this item will be in a box, while other purchases will be in a flat package, and trying to combine them would likely damage this item anyway. If you purchase multiple items like this (ones that need to be packed in a box), then they likely can be combined with each other (unless the resulting box is simply too large). So please bear in mind that this item must be sent separately in a box (the size of the box will depend on the size of the item), and bear this added expense in mind before placing a bid on it. Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
