Bob Hope Jane
Need some good advice on an autographed photo?
I recently purchased a set of three photographs from the 50′s. They were a result of a “grand opening” of a local Wholesale Distributing store. The one photo I really wanted was a picture of the old building and the parking lot full of old cars. You can read the license plate on one (1952)
One professional photo (app. 12″ x 18″) of Marilyn Maxwell, movie actress of that time ( Marilyn Monroe and Jane Mansfield era) She starred in some movies such as (Rock-a-bye-baby) with Jerry Lewis. She also made other movies with famous Actors. She also was with Bob Hope on USO tours.
I would like to get an appraisal to sell this autographed photo or contact a buyer. I believe the signature is authenic because it had a short message to the owner of the business. I visited the store many times but it is gone now. Waiting for your expert answers.
Heritage Auction Gallery in Texas. Phone is 800 872 6467. They deal in pricey autographs such as yours. They can authenticate it for you and also auction it. Their consignment fee isn’t too bad and they are honest. They sold an autograph for me of a famous golfer from the 1930′s and I did well. Call them, they can help! Good luck.
