Inscribed Photograph Signed.
Known as "The Singing Cowboy," this Western star appeared in dozens of films between 1934 and 1954; turning his attention to baseball, he became successful owner of the California Angels. IPS, 3½" X 3½", n.p., n.d. [October 1955]. Very good. Light tape stain at each corner. Original, one-of-a-kind black-and-white snapshot of Autry in full cowboy regalia signing an autograph, surrounded by a couple of fans. At the bottom, in bold black fountain pen, he inscribes and signs: "To Donald / With My best / wishes / Gene Autry." The ink skips a bit on the "ld" in "Donald" and the "st" in "best," and one tape stain imposes partly on the "G" in "Gene." Overall, still an attractive example on a unique image. Likely taken at the Coliseum in Chicago. Item #25810
