HOLLYWOOD TIME CAPSULE
Very important Golden Age of Hollywood Autograph Collection
Between the late 1930s and the mid 1950s this collection was built by a single individual. The autographs were collected mostly in San Francisco, but also in Los Angeles and Germany. Many of the autographs are personalized to the collector. Some are dated by the celebrity. The collector often attached a bio of the celebrity to the facing page of the autograph and date stamped the page. The collection consists of 21 books and many hundreds of autographs. The nature of this collection suggests that all signatures were acquired in person and are authentic.
