Music Memorabilia
Buddy Holly Apartment Tapes Acetate (Audiodisc, 1959). In December, 1958 Buddy Holly bought an Ampex tape recorder from famed producer Norman Petty to record rough takes of new songs he was writing. He wrote of the songs in a December 11, 1958 letter to his parents, commenting that "Peggy Sue Got Married" was his favorite. In another letter, dated December 14 to his friend Terry Noland in Lubbock, Buddy stated he was planning on having Jesse Stone, Ray Charles' arranger, do the the arrangements and that he would record at Pythian Temple in New York because "you can't beat the sound."
Over the holidays, Buddy and bride Maria Elena visited Lubbock, returning to New York on New Year's Eve. The new year 1959 was shaping up as a busy and successful year, as he and Maria Elena settled into their apartment and into married life. On the first Monday of the year, January 5, 1959, the newlyweds had lunch with Buddy's friend and producer, Dick Jacobs, who had just recently been appointed head of Buddy's record label Coral's A&R. As Maria Elena recalls, there are four significant reasons to remember this date:
1) It was to celebrate the release of Buddy's new single (produced by Jacobs) "It Doesn't Matter Anymore", to be released that same day. It would be the last single released while Holly was still alive.
2) It was to celebrate Maria Elena's birthday (January 7).
3) It was also to congratulate Jacobs on his promotion to Coral A&R, good news to Buddy. Once Holly's original Coral A&R man Bob Thiele had left the label in mid-1958, promotion of Holly's records had been in the hands of Paul Cohen, unfortunate in that Cohen did not like Buddy nor his music, and had, in fact, dropped Buddy earlier - in 1956 when he was A&R head of Decca Records. Buddy hadn't had a real champion at Coral in almost a year, and the young Texan was looking forward to having his new releases promoted with the same vigor as his earliest releases.
4) Most significantly, at least as background to our story about the Apartment Tapes acetate, it was at this lunch that Buddy handed over to Jacobs his one and only copy of the newly recorded acoustic songs. The Scotch Tape box had the songs and respective recorded dates in Buddy's handwriting, and gave them to Jacobs to review and to become familiar with while Buddy was gone on the Winter Dance Party Tour that ended so tragically. He planned on recording the tunes upon his return, with Jacobs producing.
The acetate was produced on February 13, 1959, just ten days after "The Day the Music Died." Several of the original 14 cuts were overdubbed and released posthumously within a few years, but this acetate collects six of the raw versions, just as Buddy originally recorded them in his New York City apartment, and which were not released until much later.
To mark the 50th anniversary of the early Rock icon's death, Geffen released a CD anthology Down the Line in 2009, which contained Apartment Tapes tunes, including the raw, undubbed version of "That's What They Say", which had not been previously available as a US release (it had been released previously in the UK). Other tunes on this one-sided acetate are "What To Do", "Peggy Sue Got Married", "That Makes It Tough", "Crying, Waiting, Hoping", and "Learning the Game".
A chilling, yet exhilarating artifact from one of Rock 'n' Roll's most important innovators. Note: no copyright for any of the recordings here is included in this lot. From Maria Elena Holly's Personal Collection with COA.

Buddy Holly's Homework with Crickets Band Photo. A single sheet of lined notebook paper signed "Buddy Holley" in the top left corner by the Rock legend in pencil, with what appears to be answers to quiz written below.

A great rare example of Holly's signature featuring the original spelling of his last name. The sheet is in Very Fine to Excellent condition with some toning, and it has been matted along with a b&w 8" x 10" photo of Holly with his Crickets bandmates Jerry Allison and Bill Mauldin, to an overall size of 20.75" x 14.5".

Buddy Holly and the Crickets Band-Signed British Tour Book. During their 1958 heyday, Buddy Holly & the Crickets were big in America, and even bigger in England, where their popularity rivaled that of Elvis. Unlike Presley, they actually toured England, spending a month playing a series of shows that were still being written about 30 years later. In the process, they introduced the majesty of the Fender Stratocaster to the United Kingdom, and Holly's music and stage persona went on to inspire the likes of Hank Marvin of the Shadows, John Lennon and Paul McCartney of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones (whose hit 1964 cover of "Not Fade Away" was the A-side to their first US single), and others who would be at the forefront of the British Invasion. This rare copy of the program book from that historic tour was signed on the back cover by Holly, Jerry Allison, and Joe Mauldin in blue ink. This program is in Very Good to fine condition with some mild to moderate overall wear, tears, and creasing, as well as a split from the head of the spine to the bottom staple and a faint crease running through the upper portion of Holly's autograph -- none of which detracts from this desirable set of signatures. Accompanied by James Spence Authentication auction LOA.

Harry James' Selmer Model 26 Trumpet. "He was at peace and he knew he was loved when he was playing the trumpet," said Helen Forrest of Harry James (1916-1983), in whose band she was the lead singer during the World War II years. James' distinctions as an entertainer were many -- including being the first bandleader to hire Frank Sinatra (in 1939), the man who married leggy blonde pinup girl Betty Grable (in 1943), and a movie star in his own right in such films as Bathing Beauty (1944). James' fame as a trumpet player established him as a legend in 20th century American music. Heritage proudly offers this trumpet, a fantastic Selmer Model 26 (serial number 9497, circa 1950) owned and used by the legend, with James' name engraved on the side. The trumpet is accompanied by a handkerchief embroidered with the initials "HJ", two Parduba Harry James Model mouthpieces, repair kit, hardshell carrying case, a b&w 8" x 10" photo of James, and sheet music arrangement for "Green Apples" written in an unknown hand.

Elvis Presley "Moody Blue" Blue Vinyl 45 (RCA 10857, 1977). The experimental colored vinyl editions of this single weren't meant for distribution and were pressed in very small numbers, which means you'll have a rarity if you win this nice copy! Condition: EX 7.
Elvis Presley EP Group of 3 (RCA, 1956-65). Elvis' earliest EP, plus two extra-nice copies of EPs from the mid-1960s.

Elvis' Christmas Album Mono LP (RCA LOC-1035, 1957). An Elvis fan favorite because of the gorgeous Christmas motif, the unusual gatefold picture album, and, of course the music, including "Blue Christmas" and the bluesy "Santa Claus Is Back In Town". This Near Mint copy comes complete with the gold foil, gift-giving sticker. And while there is some minor discoloration on the inner cover, the outside covers are Near Mint, as is the record itself. The gold sticker has some staining - get a close look at our website. Condition: NM 8/ NM 8.
Elvis Presley Blue Hawaii Blue Vinyl Stereo LP (RCA 2426, 1977). Elvis' all-time biggest Billboard album was Blue Hawaii, released in 1961. Jerry Osborne's Presleyana describes this blue vinyl version from 1977 as "experimental pressing only, not intended for sale or distribution." Proof that there weren't many produced is that it didn't even come with a cover. But you want to keep it in something more colorful than a plain white sleeve, so we're including a nice commercial cover in VG-EX 6. You're welcome! The disc is blue-ming pristine! Condition: MT 9.
Elvis As Recorded at Madison Square Garden Promo LP (RCA LSP-33-571, 1972). This two-disc, white label, double pocket issue was commercially issued as RCA LSP-4776. The tracks reflect the wide-ranging concert that consisted of many of Elvis' original '50s and '60s hits, plus covers of more contemporary hits from the late '60s and early '70s. Condition: VG-EX 6 (small tear upper right corner)/ NM 8 (both discs).

Elvis Presley Candid Photos Used in Elvis (Rolling Stone Press/Times Books, 1982). A great selection of 13 candid b&w photos of "the young Elvis" by photographer Robert Williams circa 1956-57, that were featured in the Rolling Stone publication Elvis.

The Beatles Rare Promo EP Signed by Astrid Kirchherr and Klaus Voormann (Polydor 1113-7, 1994). This rare promo EP with sleeve was released by Polydor to coincide with the premiere of the movie Backbeat, about the group's early days in Hamburg, Germany. The tunes here were recorded in 1961, including "Ain't She Sweet"/"Cry For a Shadow" by the Beatles on Side 1, and "My Bonnie"/"When the Saints Go Marching In" by the Beatles with Tony Sheridan on Side 2. Very cool, but to make it even cooler, the sleeve has been signed neatly in red by Astrid Kirchherr and Klaus Voormann. Condition: NM 8/EX 7. Accompanied by James Spence Authentication auction LOA.
The Beatles With Tony Sheridan Meet the Beat Mono 10" LP (UK - Polydor 73557, 1965). True, the Beatles are really performing on just three of the cuts here, and sharing the credits on those songs with Tony Sheridan, but they're vintage performances and this disc was only available through Club Sonderauflage, a German book club that branched out to also offer records. Only about 2,000 copies were pressed originally, beginning in 1965. The Beatles perform on "Sweet Georgia Brown", "Nobody's Child", and "Take Out Some Insurance On Me, Baby". The other seven cuts are credited to Tony Sheridan and the Beat Brothers, and in one instance, to just the Beat Brothers. We've offered a copy of this rarity on only one previous occasion. Condition: VG-EX 6/ VG-EX 6.
The Beatles Yesterday and Today Sealed Stereo LP (Capitol ST2553, 1966). Fabulous still-sealed copy of the Fab's ninth Capitol album, which topped American charts for five weeks in 1966, selling more than two million copies. More a collection of singles than a concept album, Yesterday and Today includes such classics as "Yesterday", "Nowhere Man", "Day Tripper", "We Can Work It Out", and "Drive My Car". Condition: Still Sealed.
The Beatles Yesterday and Today Alternate Cover Promotional Slick (Capitol, 1966). The Beatles' pose is familiar, but the prominent blue color of this album cover is strikingly different from the "trunk cover" so familiar to most fans. This particular copy of the rare variation being considered as the replacement for the recalled "Butcher Cover" was originally given by Capitol to Mama Cass Elliot, who just happened to be a big fan of the Fab Four. Cass gave it to a neighbor, Jerry Ponce, in 1966, who has provided the historical account, which you can view at HA.com. A rare slice of Beatlemania that not many fans have a chance to own! Condition: VG 5 (album cover only).
The Beatles - Paul McCartney Signed Yesterday and Today Third State Mono Butcher Cover (Capitol 2553, 1966). That it's the rare "Butcher Cover" is cool enough, but this one's been signed by Sir Paul on the front -- "Cheers!" indeed! This is a third state copy, meaning the "Butcher Cover" had been pasted over by the "trunk" cover for re-distribution, then carefully peeled later to reveal the infamous pose that is still so sought-after decades later. Peeling the cover is a tricky matter, and this one was smartly done. The image area is mostly unaffected, with just some minor peel tears along the left lower border. There is wear along all the edges, with the spine taped top to bottom and a 5" seam split at bottom right. Don't worry -- frame it and display not only the iconic image, but also the autograph of one of Rock's greatest icons as well! Also enclosed is the peeled "trunk" cover, intact but heavily wrinkled from the peeling process. Record is not included. Condition: GD-VG 4. Accompanied by James Spence Authentication auction LOA.
The Beatles Revolver Promo Mono LP (Capitol T 2576, 1966). Consistently mentioned whenever the best of the Fab's albums is discussed, Revolver also boasts arguably the most inventive cover. Add to the obvious the promo copy cover (pressed PROM at top right), and you have a collector's dream! Condition: VG-EX 6/ VG-EX 6.
The Beatles Yellow Submarine Rare Mono LP (Apple - UK, 1969). Since this album wasn't even released in mono in the US, if mono's your thing, you'll have to nab a foreign release, like this UK version. Condition: EX 7/EX 7.
The Beatles Tour '65 Mono Acetate (Capitol, 1965). This rare acetate contains interviews with the Beatles, as well as studio cuts. Over 21 minutes on each side, the "album" was never released by Capitol. This particular copy (and the one that follows) was owned by Voyle Gilmore, who worked at Capitol for 22 years, first as a staff producer and later as Vice President of Artists and Repertoire. Gilmore was the live producer of the Capitol release The Beatles At the Hollywood Bowl. Condition: EX 7, with small stain on the label.
The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour Stereo LP Acetate (Capitol ST 2835, 1967). Like the previous lot, this rare acetate was originally owned by Voyle Gilmore (d. 1979), who produced albums for Frank Sinatra and the Kingston Trio, and oversaw recordings by Judy Garland, Louis Prima, Dinah Shore, and Al Martino, among others. In his capacity as Vice President of Capitol, he also worked closely with the Beatles, Brian Epstein, and George Martin, producing the live album The Beatles At the Hollywood Bowl. Side 2 here has a short snippet of "Hello Goodbye", but the rest of the side is the same as the commercial release. Condition: EX 7.
The Beatles Signed Promo Card. A vintage 7.5" x 5" Parlophone promotional photocard featuring the Beatles circa 1963, signed on the front by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and Ringo Starr in blue ballpoint, with Lennon also signing for George Harrison. Someone added "June 1963. At Southern Sporting Club. Manchester." in purple ink in the lower right corner. The signatures are large and bold, and the card is in Good condition with wear to the corners and edges, and several creases, some of which run through the autographs. A great collection of Beatles signatures, signed while on the cusp of celebrity. Items autographed by the band after 1963 are difficult to find, and autographs given after 1969 are extremely scarce, making this very desirable. Accompanied by James Spence Authentication auction LOA.
The Beatles Signed Photo Autographed for George Klein. On August 27, 1965, the famous Summit Conference of Rock and Roll occurred when the Beatles, on the eve of playing the Balboa Stadium in San Diego, paid a visit to Elvis Presley at his home in Bel-Air, California. (Elvis was in the process of shooting Paradise, Hawaiian Style in Hollywood.) That night, between 10 and 11 p.m., John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr arrived in limousines at Elvis' home, and the King personally greeted them at the door for what forever after became known as the "summit meeting" of Pop music and Rock and Roll.
"If you guys are going to stare at me all night," joked Elvis, "I'm going to bed!" In fact, Elvis was awed, too, but the ice broke and the evening found Elvis and John, Paul, and George playing guitars (while Ringo, without drums, banged the side of a chair), the group admiring Elvis' new sauna, laughing at a fan who had infiltrated the house and began screaming hysterically, and discussing the terrors of fame. In one moving (and retrospectively chilling) moment, John noted that Elvis was very brave to perform in public before the wildly screaming and actually dangerous fans -- after all, on stage, the Beatles had each other.
This b&w 6.5" x 8" autographed photo of the Fab Four was obtained the next day by "Memphis Mafia" member Jerry Schilling. At the end of their meeting the night before, the Beatles invited Schilling and several of Elvis' friends to visit them the next day. At the gathering, Schilling asked the Beatles to sign some photos for Elvis' friends, including this one, inscribed to radio and TV personality George Klein, Elvis' friend since high school.
The photo bears the signatures of John, Paul, George, and Ringo in blue ballpoint near their respective images in the photo. Though our third-party authenticator, Roger Epperson, was able to certify each signature with the exception of John's, Schilling states he witnessed John signing the picture as well. One of them added the inscription "To George/Best wishes/the Beatles" along the left edge. The autographs are bold and clear, although it appears the pen may have failed as Paul was using it, as a couple of letters in his signature are faint compared to the rest. The photo is in overall Very Fine to Excellent condition with just a little edge wear and a small amount of soiling to the lower left corner. A rare and fantastic item from an historic encounter. From the George Klein Archive. Accompanied by letters of provenance from George Klein and Jerry Schilling, and by a James Spence Authentication auction LOA.

The Beatles Ticket Stubs, 1965 and 1966. This pair of vintage Beatles concert ticket stubs includes one from their August 19, 1965 performance in Houston, and one from their August 21, 1966 concert in St. Louis, MO (one of their last live shows). The 1965 ticket is in Fine to Very Fine condition with some light creasing and areas of soiling, and the '66 ticket is in Very Fine to Excellent condition with a stain on the reverse. Both have been encapsulated by PSA.
The Beatles 1965 Chicago Concert Ticket with Photo. An unused ticket for the Fab Four's August 20, 1965 performance at White Sox Park in Chicago, accompanied by a b&w 8" x 10" publicity photo of the band taken during the press conference prior to the show. The ticket is in Excellent condition and has been encapsulated by PSA/DNA, and the photo is Very Fine to Excellent with mild wear.
The Beatles Unused Shea Stadium 1966 Concert Ticket. An unused ticket for their August 23, 1966, show in New York, one of their last before retiring from live performances to focus exclusively on recording. In Very Fine condition with moderate discoloration along the edges.
The Beatles Shea Stadium Concert Tickets Signed by Sid Bernstein. A group of five unused tickets numbered consecutively for the Beatles' August 23, 1966, show in New York, each signed on the reverse by concert promoter Sid Bernstein. This was one of their last before retiring from live performances to focus exclusively on recording. In Very Fine to Excellent condition with mild toning along the edges.
The Beatles and Others Autographed Olympia Theatre Program Book (1963). A vintage program book from the 18-day concert event at the Olympia Theatre in Paris, signed by each of the Beatles in black felt tip -- John Lennon and Ringo Starr on their respective photos on the front cover, and Paul and George on theirs on the back cover -- as well as by French chanteuse Sylvie Vartan in black felt tip and by American Pop star Trini Lopez in blue ink. The autographs were obtained by Gilbert Miller, part of the musical comedy act Miller and Archer, who performed on the same bill. Miller befriended the band during the event, and Brian Epstein approached him for advice regarding an offer the band had received to appear on The Ed Sullivan Show -- a venue with which the Beatles were not familiar. The rest, as they say, is history.
Miller obtained the autographs for his 11-year-old daughter, and the program book has been in her care ever since. It is in Very Good to Fine condition with spine splits, rusty staples, mild to moderate wear and creasing, and a large piece missing from the upper right corner of the front cover -- part of Ringo's photo -- little of which affects the large, bold signatures. George Harrison's autograph was written on the darker part of his photo, making it a little difficult to fully discern. The item is accompanied by a notarized letter of authenticity from Miller, as well as a copy of the 2004 debut issue of Vegas Report magazine, which includes a four-page article on Miller in which he discusses his encounter with the Fab Four.
Signed in 1963 before Beatlemania was about to sweep the US, this is truly a vintage piece. Autographs by the group are in high demand -- after 1964 the group was signing fewer and fewer items, and by 1969 very few at all. After the band stopped doing live concerts in 1966, they came together as a group mostly just for recording sessions, and only until production concluded on Abbey Road in August, 1969.

It is in Very Good to Fine condition with spine splits, rusty staples, mild to moderate wear and creasing, and a large piece missing from the upper right corner of the front cover -- part of Ringo's photo -- little of which affects the large, bold signatures. George Harrison's autograph was written on the darker part of his photo, making it a little difficult to fully discern. The item is accompanied by a notarized letter of authenticity from Miller, as well as a copy of the 2004 debut issue of Vegas Report magazine, which includes a four-page article on Miller in which he discusses his encounter with the Fab Four.
Signed in 1963 before Beatlemania was about to sweep the US, this is truly a vintage piece. Autographs by the group are in high demand -- after 1964 the group was signing fewer and fewer items, and by 1969 very few at all. After the band stopped doing live concerts in 1966, they came together as a group mostly just for recording sessions, and only until production concluded on Abbey Road in August, 1969. A unique item with a great history behind it. Accompanied by James Spence Authentication auction LOA.
The Beatles Band-Signed Copy of Please Please Me. A vintage album cover for the British Parlophone Records edition of the Beatles' first LP, signed on the reverse by the band members. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison each provided bold, clear signatures: John and George in blue ballpoint, with George adding "love from" and both adding "XXX" after their signatures. Paul has signed in blue fountain pen and added "love" before and "XXX" after his signature. These three signatures date from mid-1963. The Ringo Starr autograph was taken from another Please Please Me album cover that was signed by him in 1964 in black ballpoint, removed from that cover and affixed to this one by a professional paper restoration expert.
Rush-released on March 22, 1963, in the UK to capitalize on the success of singles "Please Please Me" and "Love Me Do", the album was the first of what would be many groundbreaking, chart-topping, iconic LPs released by the Beatles over a relatively brief seven years. It continues to score high on numerous "Greatest Album" and "Greatest Song" lists. The LP that accompanies the signed cover is a rare original pressing, with the gold printing over the black label.
Signed copies of the album are very desirable. Condition of album cover: VG-EX 6. Condition of album: VG-EX 6/ EX 7. Accompanied by James Spence Authentication auction LOA and by a COA from Beatles historian Frank Caiazzo.

The Beatles Band-Signed Copy of Fabulous Magazine (1964). Authentic autographed items tend to be some of the most valuable and profitable of Beatles collectibles, especially the more unique ones, such as this vintage copy of the February 15, 1964 issue of Fabulous signed on the front cover by John, Paul, George, and Ringo in black ink.
The signatures were obtained by an American attorney during a flight from London to New York City on February 7, 1964 -- the flight that brought the Beatles to the US for their historic first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show. The attorney gave the magazine to his daughter as a gift; from a prior trip he had given the lucky little lady a copy of the UK album Please, Please Me, telling her "These guys are really big in Britain right now. I thought you might like to hear their music." He had accurately predicted the oncoming wave of Beatlemania.
The magazine is in fine condition with a large tear to the back cover, heavy spine stress, creases and wear to the edges and covers, a heavy fold crease across the center, and mild page tanning -- none of which affect the large, bold, unfaded signatures on the cover, above the large color image of the Fab Four. It is accompanied by a signed affidavit of authenticity from the sole owner. Accompanied by James Spence Authentication auction LOA.

The Beatles Rare 1964 Milwaukee Auditorium Concert Program Book. In 1964, on their first US tour, the Beatles made a stop in Milwaukee on September 4, drawing record crowds and further stoking the band's popularity. The tour was a whirlwind -- the Boys performed in Indianapolis the day before and would perform in Chicago immediately following the Milwaukee show. The ultra-rare 6.25" x 9.25" program is full of fascinating details, including adverts for Pete Seeger and Bob Dylan performances, and a full-page fan on the inner cover promoting the 1964-65 4th Annual Folk Music Series.

The Beatles Yesterday and Today Mono Butcher Cover Early Production Test Slick. A beautiful slick of the notorious album cover, obtained from the printer by a music industry insider at the right time and place when the cover was "killed". Released in 1966, it was the last Beatles album to be created exclusively for the US market by Capitol Records without the group's direct consent. What should have been a routine album was graced with a cover depicting the quartet in butcher smocks and handling raw meat and dismembered baby dolls. Initially, Capitol Records' art department went along with the gag and approved a print run of the album, but negative reactions from record chain buyers and DJs forced Capitol to reconsider and a new, tamer photo replaced the original cover. Due to the last minute change, the album ended up as the only US Beatles' album to show a loss on Capitol's books.
This early production test slick was produced by the printer (Queens Lithograph in New York) in very small quantity specifically for the examination of color and print quality. Note that while the slick itself has been cropped to represent the final album size, the image is not cropped as much as the album image itself.
Much rarer than the common Butcher Cover slicks that folks at Capitol Records had available to them to give out in greater quantities and which contained the full album cover text with the image. The 12.75" x 12" slick is in Very Fine to Excellent condition with some very mild wear and discoloration along the edges. Accompanied by an LOA from the original owner.

The Beatles 1966 Japanese Tour Book. A 16-page tour book from the Beatles' June 30-July 2, 1966 performances at Nippon Budokan Hall in Tokyo. The band received death threats for performing at the venue, which had originally been dedicated to accommodate martial arts events. This, combined just days later with a hostile send-off in the Philippines and the public outrage in the US over John Lennon's "we're more popular than Jesus now" comment, encouraged the band to stop touring and to focus more on studio recording. These would be the Beatles' final performances in Japan, and some of their last shows ever as a band. In Very Fine to Excellent condition.
The Beatles Dynamic Beatles Aintree Institute Handbill, One of Three Known (1961). Located in the far north corner of Liverpool, the Aintree Institute's ballroom represented a "step up" from dingy clubs for the up-and-coming Beatles.

James Cagney's Screen-Worn Suit from Yankee Doodle Dandy.

Filming on Yankee Doodle Dandy began the day after the attack on Pearl Harbor occurred, which greatly informed its patriotic theme and Memorial Day 1942 release date.

Clark Gable Divorce Papers from Wife Josephine Dillon. Sad is the story of Josephine Dillon, a director and acting coach of the Roaring '20s who became the sponsor of an aspiring young actor named Clark Gable. She trained him in dramatics, groomed him, paid for his dental work, and married Gable in Los Angeles in December of 1924 (their marriage certificate is also included in this auction); she was 40 and he was 23. These divorce papers document the marriage's rapid failure. Included are the two-page Complaint for Divorce summons sent to Gable, dated September 1926, including Josephine's reason for this action; the Final Judgement of Divorce Paper, dated April 1, 1930, signed by the county clerk deputy and bearing the stamped seal of Superior Court of Los Angeles County; and a letter to Gable in New York, dated May 2, 1930, regarding the final divorce decree and signed Coudert Brothers (obviously a legal contact). Thus ended the first of Gable's five marriages. Josephine Dillon, who never remarried, went on to coach such stars as Errol Flynn and Cary Grant and died in 1971 -- 11 years after Gable had died -- living in a home Gable allegedly had left her in his will. Intriguing insight into Hollywood's "King," the documents are in Very Good to Excellent condition.

Fair to Very Good condition.
Clark Gable's Marriage Certificate to his First Wife, Josephine Dillon. Gable was an unknown actor when he wed his acting teacher and patron, Josephine Dillon, in Los Angeles on December 13, 1924.

This is the California State Board of Health "Standard Certificate of Marriage," with typed information regarding addresses, the minister, names of parents, etc., bearing the official State Seal of California. (Document does not have signatures.) Gable lists his age as 24 (he was actually 23); Josephine gives her age as 34 (she was 40). Attached is a flyer noting the certificate is "a full, true and correct copy" of the marriage certificate, dated February 19, 1929, signed by B. Moran, Deputy Registrar of Vital Statistics, and also bearing the California State Seal. Document measures 7" x 8.5". A fascinating piece of Gable memorabilia, in Excellent condition.
Clark Gable's Gone With the Wind Costume Shirt and Vest. Known as "The King of Hollywood" during his 1930s heyday, Clark Gable's legacy as one of American cinema's all-time great leading men still stands, thanks to memorable performances in such classics as It Happened One Night, Mutiny On the Bounty, Run Silent Run Deep, and, of course, Gone With the Wind.
Gary Cooper was David O. Selznick's first choice to play Rhett Butler, but he turned it down, later saying: "Gone With the Wind is going to be the biggest flop in Hollywood history. I'm glad it'll be Clark Gable who's falling flat on his nose, not me." (He later added "I didn't see myself as quite that dashing, and later, when I saw Clark Gable play the role to perfection, I knew I was right.") It would be Gable's first Technicolor role, and it quickly become an iconic one. Gable said that whenever his star power would begin to fade, a well-timed re-release of Gone with the Wind would boost his popularity; indeed, he was a top leading actor for the rest of his life.
This ruffled dress shirt and black waistcoat were worn by Gable as Butler; the shirt has the initials "CG" sewn in near the label, with "20-108M-87" handwritten underneath in ink, and the vest has an Oviatt's label sewn into the lining with Gable's name, "4463", and the date February 28, 1939 typed onto it. The shirt is in Very Fine condition with mild wear and discoloration; the vest is Very Good with an appreciable amount of wear and fraying to the edges, and significant wear and tearing along the stitching of the right side. The items were previously sold by Christie's in 2002.

Clark Gable's Costume Suit. This black wool jacket has label sewn into the lining that lists the production number associated with the Clark Gable/Myrna Loy gangster classic Manhattan Melodrama (1934), as well as Gable's name handwritten in black ink. Expected to be just a modest hit, it became a runaway success that captured the public's imagination due in part to the fact that it was the movie John Dillinger saw the night he was gunned down by Federal agents (a tableau re-enacted in last summer's Public Enemies). Manhattan Melodrama was also the first of 14 movies featuring Loy and William Powell, with their popular Thin Man film series launching less than three week later. In Very Fine to Excellent condition.

Claude Rains' Delia Austrian Medal for Darkness at Noon. Perhaps the greatest triumph of Claude Rains' career was his shattering portrayal of Rubashov in Sidney Kingsley's play Darkness at Noon, a dramatic highlight of Broadway's 1950/1951 season. The play co-starred Kim Hunter, Walter (Jack) Palance, Lois Nettleton, and Brian Keith, and Rains' performance was by all accounts overpowering. "On matinee days I'd try to save myself to hold back for the evening performance," Rains remembered, "but it was no use. I'd wring myself out." Among the awards Rains won for his virtuoso portrayal was this wonderful item, the coveted New York Drama League's Delia Austrian Medal. The award's engraved face features a very woeful mask of Tragedy and a rather Jove-like mask of Comedy; the reverse presents three willowy robed women, one of them holding a severed head. Engraved on the face are the words "Claude Rains in Darkness at Noon 1951" while the reverse reads: "The Delia Austrian Medal Awarded by the Drama League of New York For Distinguished Performance." The medal is 2.75" wide and flamboyantly sits in a 4.75"-wide circular wooden base; the medal has come unattached from its original anchor piece but still fits in the base's groove. Incidentally, the Delia Austrian Medal pre-dates Broadway's Tony Award by 12 years; its first recipient in 1935 was Katharine Cornell, while the most recent winner in 2008 was Patti LuPone. This particular award has tarnished over the past 58 years, but it is still most impressive, with a charmingly classical style -- rather like the legendary actor it honored. In Very Fine condition. From the Claude Rains Estate Archive.

Star Trek II Unproduced TV Series Writers/Directors Guide. A fascinating document sure to intrigue Star Trek fans of every caliber, this 38-page series bible, dated August 12, 1977, was generated as part of the development for the unproduced Star Trek II TV series. The project (later re-titled Star Trek: Phase II) was part of an attempted revival of the original TV series. After a proposed feature film stalled out in 1975, this second TV series went into development. Paramount's proposed television service (a precursor to UPN) folded, but the success of Star Wars and other science fiction blockbusters convinced Paramount to take another stab at a movie version, and many of the proposed series' aspects (i.e., a refit Enterprise and the characters of Dekker and Ilia) and basic plot for the pilot episode were used in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Though it never got beyond the pre-production phase, Star Trek: Phase II had a lasting effect on the development of the early Trek movies and the Next Generation series. The guide is in Very Fine condition with mild to moderate water damage to the bottom third of the covers and most pages.

Assorted Superhero/Science Fiction Scripts, including Unproduced Projects (1974-96). Superhero movies are essentially an established genre these days; however, prior to the late '90s, the adventures of most costumed crusaders were considered too expensive and lacking in mass appeal to be worth filming. This fantastic set of 16 superhero and sci-fi movie scripts includes unproduced drafts of Spider-Man (ninth revised draft, 1988), Superman: The New Movie (synopsis and script draft, 1992), The Flash (first draft, 1987), The Adventures of Dick Tracy (1974), Captain Avenger (first draft 1978), and Masters of the Universe 2 (second draft, 1988, ultimately remade and released as Cyborg in 1989), as well as drafts of Captain America (1990), The Crow, Death of the Incredible Hulk, Die Darkman Die, Knight Rider 2000, Masters of the Universe, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Mortal Combat: Annihilation, and Superman IV.

The Wizard of Oz Original Shooting Script Signed by Script Clerk Wallace Worsley, Plus Production Breakdown Pages. "There's no place like home," and there are few lots as magical as this one -- the original, complete shooting script for The Wizard of Oz, signed in pencil on the cover by script clerk Wallace Worsley Jr., plus the film's Production Breakdown booklet, detailing plans for every day of shooting of MGM production #1060. The script is dated October 7, 1938, with the MGM script department sticker (complete with Leo the Lion's image), runs 112 pages, and is filled with surprises (e.g., Prof. Marvel has a dwarf assistant and a pet lion). Also included are the lyrics to the long-lost musical number "The Jitter Bug" (cut before the film's release), and final dialogue that differs from the unforgettable "There's no place like home!" curtain line. The production breakdown booklet is dated September 28, 1938 and fills an incredible 88 pages, detailing cast on call, synopsis of sequence being shot, method of shooting, music and sound, bit players, extras, special effects, and props. Some eye-openers here too -- e.g. the Wicked Witch originally was to fill the Tin Man full of bees, and the production chart for that day indeed calls for...bees! Add to the remarkable content the fact that, since the script belonged to the script clerk Worsley, it would have been on the set of this film every day of its production. the script has some tatters along its binder border and some minor staining, while the production breakdown has some cover fading -- overall Very Good condition. Highly desirable, once-in-a-lifetime artifacts from one of the most beloved classics ever filmed.

Claude Rains Leather-Bound Scrapbook, with Handwritten Letter from Rains. A remarkable piece of theater and Hollywood history! This leather-bound, 8.5" x 11.5" scrapbook was the creation of a British (and ardent) female Rains fan, who in September of 1940, sent it from England to Rains' two-year-old daughter Jennifer. (Note: Jennifer Rains would change her name to Jessica Rains when she became an actress, since there was already a "Jennifer Rains" in Actors Equity.) The original owner wrote this sentiment inside the scrapbook, "Hoping it will give you a little of the pleasure it always gives me." (The book was also now safe from possible destruction in the London blitz.) The scrapbook contains 49 pages, packed with original newspaper and magazine clippings and reviews (with photos and wonderful caricatures), mostly devoted to Rains' London stage career in the 1920s, as well as some fascinating coverage of his films The Invisible Man and Crime Without Passion. The scrapbook also boasts a double-sided handwritten letter from Rains in fountain ink that he signed "CR" (the lady who originally kept the scrapbook has added a character analysis of his handwriting). Somebody in the Rains family has added a review of the film Caesar and Cleopatra (1946) inside the front cover. David J. Skal found this scrapbook of great assistance in researching his 2008 biography of Rains, Claude Rains: An Actor's Voice, authorized by Rains' daughter. Fascinating material on a bygone show business era, lovingly dedicated to the formative years of a brilliant actor, as well as evidence of the rather obsessive admiration Claude Rains inspired in some female fans. Very Good condition. From the Claude Rains Estate Archive. Accompanied by James Spence Authentication auction LOA.
Claude Rains' Poster for Phantom of the Opera, and His Lobby Cards for The Man Who Reclaimed His Head and Strange Holiday. Claude Rains' superbly haunting portrayal of the title role in Universal's 1943 Technicolor mega-hit Phantom of the Opera remains one of his best-remembered performances. This lot includes a handsomely dramatic, linen-backed 24" x 33" European poster for Phantom's post-war 1946 release in Copenhagen and was part of Rains' personal collection. Rains' masked Phantom is dominant on the poster, ominously looming above attractive images of co-stars Nelson Eddy and Susanna Foster, as well as the elegant patrons madly fleeing from the Paris Opera House. As a child, Jessica Rains had added a small red dot to Ms. Foster's cheek and written in tiny red lettering, "la pimple" -- a flaw that could easily be cosmeticized by a poster restorationist. Also in the lot is a Realart re-release lobby card for Universal's The Man Who Reclaimed His Head (1934, well-remembered as the melodrama in which Rains severed the head of Lionel Atwill), with a close-up of Rains and leading lady Joan Bennett; and an original lobby card from PRC's Strange Holiday (1945), an anti-Nazi film scripted and directed by Arch Oboler (of Lights Out fame). Both cards also are from Rains' collection. The Strange Holiday card has some tears on the left and right borders; otherwise, overall quality of the three pieces is Fair to Very Good. Colorful promotional material with the Phantom of the Opera poster especially desirable. From the Claude Rains Estate Archive.
Claude Rains' Caesar and Cleopatra Stills with Notations. Produced in England in 1945 and the most expensive British film production to that time, Caesar and Cleopatra, based on George Bernard Shaw's play, starred Claude Rains and Vivien Leigh as the doomed royal lovers, under the direction of Gabriel Pascal. These three 7.5" x 9.5" still proofs include a shot of Rains and Leigh on a palatial set, on which Rains has written in pencil on the reverse "Farewell"; a shot of Rains and Stewart Granger, with Rains having penciled on the reverse, "Apollodorous and Me"; and an exterior shot of Rains amidst throngs of soldiers and extras, making a grand entrance. On the reverse of this last shot, Rains has written in pencil, "Caesar and Co. enter the Palace steps for last scene"; he adds something indecipherable regarding DeMille, then writes, "Just before the take, Pascal (director) said, 'When you make the entrance, think of Mussolini.' Jesus!!!!" The shot with Granger has the words "Rough Proof" written in the upper left area of the picture, a 1" tear mark touching Rains' foot and a modern script page attached to the reverse (which could easily be removed), and the grand entrance shot has some minor creasing; otherwise, they are in overall Very Good condition. From the Claude Rains Estate Archive. Accompanied by James Spence Authentication auction LOA.

All recordings come with their original jackets and play very well with some surface noise. In Very Good to Excellent condition. From the Claude Rains Estate Archive.
Claude Rains' Photo Portraits by Roddy McDowall. "It was the most volatile face...It was like Mount Rushmore," remembered the late actor/photographer Roddy McDowall, who took these amazing photographs of Claude Rains late in Rains' life. The 9" x 13.5" b&w photographs date to the mid-1960s; Rains was in his mid-'70s and McDowall was pleased that the portraits captured "his wit and melancholia and also this tremendous fierceness, like a lion, that Rains had." Indeed, the portraits have a "King Lear" quality, showing the majesty of a man who had triumphed over incredible odds to become one of the world's most respected actors. Each photo has a sticker on the verso reading "Photo: Roddy McDowall Copyright 1995 Harlequin Enter. Ltd." These superb studies almost make you feel as if Rains were in the room; he himself was so pleased that he paid a surprise visit to McDowall's New York home to request more copies. In Excellent condition. From the Claude Rains Estate Archive.

Excellent condition. From the Claude Rains Estate Archive. Accompanied by James Spence Authentication auction LOA.
Claude Rains' Annotated Reading Script for Lincoln Portrait Recording.

The script is taped to cardboard, as was often the case for radio or recordings, and its annotations give ample evidence of Rains' impeccable preparation as an actor. One can imagine his magnificent voice reading the script's climactic words from the Gettysburg Address. In Very Good condition. From the Claude Rains Estate Archive.

Soylent Green Prop Cracker. A 2"-square prop soylent green "cracker" used in the classic 1973 science fiction film starring Charlton Heston. In the movie, soylent green was a foodstuff supposedly made from soybeans and lentils, designed to be a cheap plentiful way to feed an overpopulated world. But as Heston's character soon learns in an unforgettable climax, soylent green is people. The prop is made from wood and painted green, and probably doesn't taste much better than soylent or people. In Excellent condition, accompanied by a 11" x 16" piece of promo art and a small futuristic NYPD logo sticker.
