An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed Deluxe 7" x 9 1/4" [18 x 23 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Conrad Nagel was an actor from the 1910s to the 1940s. While never a major star, he had leading roles opposite some of the top silent female stars, including Gloria Swanson,Bebe Daniels, and Pola Negri. Unlike many of his fellow actors, he had no trouble making the transition to sound movies. In fact, in the early sound days, he was hired by studios to help actors who were having trouble adjusting! He kept acting through 1940, and then he had a limited number of appearances in the 1940s and 1950s. He was one of the founding members of the Motion Picture Academy, and he has three stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and he was awarded a special Oscar in 1947! Some of his movies include: Fast Life, London After Midnight, and Quality Street. He passed away in 1970 at the age of 72. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Conrad Nagel! Note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Also note that this still measures 7" x 9 1/4" [18 x 23 cm]. 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: good. The still may have been slightly trimmed to fit a frame. It was glued to a mat and it was removed from the frame and the black paper of the matting is glued to the back of the still, and there is paper residue on the top of that.
