Date Sold 4/11/2017Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Autographed Book Page (measures 7 3/4" x 10") (Learn More) Johnny Weissmuller was an Austro-Hungarian (now Romania) actor from the 1920s to the 1970s. He was the 1924 Olympic swimming champion, and he set a number of world records, and he never lost a race. In 1940, at the age of 36, he broke his own world record in the 100-yard freestyle, which he had set 13 years earlier, and which stood for another 4 years before finally being broken after 17 years! But of course, he is best remembered for playing Tarzan starting in 1932 (in "Tarzan the Ape Man", followed by "Tarzan and His Mate", and many others!), and later he starred as Jungle Jim in the 1950s. Weissmuller passed away in 1984 at the age of 79. Important Added Info: Note that this book page has been personally autographed (signed) by Johnny Weissmuller (he wrote "Tarzan" under his name)! We don't know what book this page was removed from, or when it was published, but it seems to likely be from the 1960s or so. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that this autographed item was consigned to us by a husband and wife who have been collecting autographs and other movie memorabilia for over 30 years! They have obtained some of it in person (at conventions or collectible shows where celebrities appeared) or they purchased them from reputable autograph dealers who had credentials with U.A.C.C., I.A.D.A-C.C. or the Manuscript Society. In many cases they obtained certificates of authenticity for individual items, and in those cases, we have photographed the COA and put it on the auction. In some cases, they received a COA for multiple items, or did not receive one, and in those cases, we do not of course picture one. They made every attempt to only buy authentic signed items, and we believe that all of the items from their collection that we are offering (as is true of all the signed items we are auctioning) are authentic. Condition: very good. The page was removed from a book but is otherwise in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
