scans to come soon!

My grandparents went to tons of plays back in the 40s, and she just gave them all to me. Included are:

Show Boat - signed by Billy House
Milk and Honey - signed by Molly Picon, Don Potter, and Larry Douglas

she also gave me 2 restaurant menus... Lobster for $4?!?! anyway... one was from boxer Lew Tendler's restaurant in Philly. He signed it.

Now... this one was a big "WOW"... Jack Dempsey had a restaurant in NYC. they got a menu SIGNED by him.

All of these were signed in person.

I'm sorry to say that those names don't ring a bell to me, But I did want to say Congrats!! {thumb2} Grandparents can be so nice! I know my aunt has an autograph from President Dwight D. Eisenhower somewhere in her junk room! I'd love to find that soon!

the first 4 are lesser known, but Jack Dempsey was a world heavyweight champion back in the eaaaaarly 1900s. I looked for places selling autographed menus from his restaurant, and they go for upwards of $1,300.

Not a chance. If I were to sell it, I'd no longer be able to say "I have Jack Dempsey's autograph".

[RYAN J.]

Very True! I like it when Collectors keep EXSPENSIVE autographs and choose not to sell them. {thumb2}

will- this is funny, my dad knew I was starting to get quite a few autographs so he gave me a couple he had got , One being jack Dempsey. He was a celebrity referee for a wrestling match and he ended up knocking out one of the wrestlers that night. My dad got the autograph and a story cut out of the paper the next day.
