This vintage bond booklet has been signed by a total of (11) notable celebrities from the prior century, most prominently the trio of "The Three Stooges", Larry Fine (d. 1975), Moe Howard (d. 1975), and Curly Howard (d. 1952, age 48).
Also adding their signatures to the front of this one-of-a-kind piece were pin-up queen Betty Grable (d. 1973), legendary actress June Havoc (d.2010), veteran actor John Hubbard (d.1988), and actress Fay Holden (d. 1973) who adds, "Ma Hardy", referencing her character in the Andy Hardy film series.
On the reverse side, autographs include Jan Clayton (d. 1983, star of "Lassie"); the star of 1935's Three Musketeers, Walter Abel (d. 1987), Wallace Ford (d. 1966), a wise-cracking Vaudevillian with over 160 acting credits to his name; and Luane Walters (d. 1963, age 50), the first woman to ever portray Superman's mother Lara, in 1948, and by all research, a very difficult signature to acquire.
Combining all of these notables makes this an incredible discovery, but it's truly the presence of The Stooges - especially the famously difficult-to-obtain Curly Howard - that makes this an exceptionally special piece. Even all these years later, the comedy troupe maintains their cultural relevance, and that doesn't look to change any time soon.
In addition our full letter of authenticity and lifetime, money back guarantee, we also submitted this to Beckett Authentication's online signature review. On 10/7/21 the result was "likely to pass full authentication". As Three Stooges items go, this one is as unique as you will see!
