An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed Movie Key Book (8x10 keybook) 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Still (Learn More) George Burns was a legendary comedy actor in radio and film from the 1930s to the 1990s. He is well known for his radio show with his wife Gracie Allen (The Burns & Allen Show) from 1934 to 1950, which moved to TV in 1950, and ran until 1958, and was one of the most creative and innovative TV shows ever! He appeared in in a number of movies with Gracie in the 1930s and 1940s. Gracie passed away in 1964, and he had a successful solo career in such movies as Oh God!, The Sunshine Boys (winner of the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), and Going in Style AND Martha Raye was an actress and comedienne, from the 1930s to the 1980s, known affectionately as "The Big Mouth". Some of her movies include: Monsieur Verdoux, Hellzapoppin', The Phynx, The Concorde: Airport '79, and Alice in Wonderland. Toward the end of her life, she made memorable TV commercials for Polident, the denture cleaner! Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by BOTH George Burns AND Martha Ray! Note that this is an original vintage still from 1936, but that it was signed in the 1980s. Also note that this key book still is on a deluxe heavyweight paper stock and has an extra 1" on the top of the still with four punch holes (where the still was kept in a binder). 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 to fine. Learn More about condition grades
