Autograph grouping featuring hollywood, politicians, soldiers and famous people. A significant stash many on "head shot" glossy photos, but a few on original documents (including first day covers(!), all obtained by a single collector from a single source about 10 years ago. Inevitably, some of these people are no longer with us. Many have a certificate of authenticity from the dealer. There was a tendency to lump items together or move them into different envelopes which are no longer correctly marked. Autographs from some easily recognizable names (and we can’t list them all as there are many), include Fred Astaire, Ray Bradley, Shirley Jones, Lauren Bacall, Paul Tibbets (pilot of the Enola Gay), Shirley Bassey, Aga Khan (1958), Vera Lynn, Madeleine Albright, Clarence Thomas, Martin Sheen, Jack Kevorkian, Bridgette Bardot, Pete Fountain, Helen Hayes, Enoch Powell, Maurice Chevalier, and there is a letter in Braille from Helen Keller (unsigned). A very American focus, with the exception of the politicians, which are often from Europe and Latin America. Many individually sleeved, with huge original cost. Estimate =
