vintage celebrity autographs

[Tom_in_CA]

When our late father was a young boy (1941 to '43-ish), he spent summers in Hollywood with a relative. He would stake out the studios and swanky restaurants to collect celebrity autographs. I have been able, with other collector's help, to identify most of them. A few remain elusive. Check these out and see if you recognize any of the remaining ones (missing #s). The numbers correspond with the page photos below.

My sisters and I checked around with various specialty auction sites (like autographworld.com, and rrauction.com, etc...) and decided the best way is to sell this as a whole, (not parsing out pages). I decided to put it on ebay, so if anyone here wants to bid on it, here's the ebay item # 120384890188.

thanx for looking, and enjoy the pix!
