Fine Autographs and artifacts auction features over 125 animation lots
RR Auction is
hosting one of its signature Fine Autographs and
Artifacts auctions, which started on May 19 and will conclude on June 14. This is
great news for Disney enthusiasts, especially since the auction includes over
125 Animation lots. Being one of the best known artifacts auction house in the
country, RR Auction has the opportunity to gather not only fine autographs and,
apart from its regular Historical artifacts auction to host events that can
peak the interest of collectors all over the world.
In fact, this
fine autographs and artifacts auction is surely big enough to compete with any
Historical artifacts auction that the company has ever hosted. It features
incredibly rare and even unique items that any Artifacts auction house would
have been happy to have. This is exactly why anyone interested in these
fantastic items should not hesitate to check out RR Auction’s online catalogue.
One of the
most exciting items in this lot is a Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket production cel and master background
from Pinocchio. The original hand painted master background measures 4.75 X
5.75 inches, with a 9.5 X 7.75 mat opening and is signed by Walt Disney. The
presentation mat is inscribed in black crayon and it reads: “To Gordon Crier,
best wishes, Walt Disney.” The cel has been trimmed and it was applied to the
background which is attributed to Disney animator Claude Coats. Among other
details, one of the most amazing thing about this item is the fact that it has
the original Disney Courvoisier Galleries on the back. The image is in fine
condition, it simply has some minor staining on the mat.
On top of that, the Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricked production
cel and master background also comes with a letter of provenance from Gordon
Crier’s daughter, which reads: "This Disney cel was given personally to my
father Gordon Crier after he produced a programme about Walt Disney in the late
40s/early 50s for BBC. He asked my father his favorite cartoon which was
Pinocchio”. This is one of the many reasons why the item is estimated at over
$25,000.
Anyone interested in this item or in any other fine
autographs is more than welcome to check out the website of this amazing
Artifacts auction house, RR Auction’s Facebook and Twitter page and even their
online catalogue. You can also check out any one of their historical artifacts

Gangsters, Outlaws and Lawmen – An Auction that shouldn’t be missed
RR Auction has yet
another surprise for collectors all over the world, especially
for those interested in American history and pop culture. This has the
potential to become one of the most outstanding memorabilia auctions to date,
as it includes rare and unique items win an immense historical value. As
opposed to other online collectible auctions, this one will be a live event on
June 24 at the Royal Sonesta in Boston, MA. Online pre bidding will be
available between June 16 and June 23. On top of that, the auction house will
also organize two previews of the items in this lot: one on June 22 at the RR
Auction gallery (North End Boston) and one on June 23 at the Royal Sonesta
Hotel in Boston.
One of the many reason
why this is thought to be one of the most amazing memorabilia auctions is the fact
that it features a lot of Bonnie and Clyde era items, most of which belonged to
the infamous couple. For instance, one of these unique items is the pair of glasses that Bonnie Parker wore at the time she and Clyde Barrow were ambushed
by the police and killed. The amazing thing about these glasses is the fact
that they come accompanied by several items that prove their provenance. These
items include an envelope, inscribed “Glasses worn by Bonnie Parker when killed near Arcadia, La.
Presented to Mr. A. O. Olson, by T. R. Hughes, sheriff of Caddo Parish,
Shreveport, La.” Additionally, Bonnie Parker’s glasses also come with a letter
from Cecil C. Harberson and a box inscribed by A. O . Olson.
One other
remarkable item in this lot is a typed letter signed by Clyde Barrow, that also carries his fingerprints. The one
page 8.5 x 11 inches letter is dated in 1934 nd it reads: "To Whom It May
Concern: I know Frank Hardy, having been with him on several occasions prior to
1930. Since I was paroled by Gov. Ross Sterling of Texas, Frank has not been
associated with me in any manner. He is not now nor has he ever been a member
of what is referred to by the news papers and public as 'The Barrow Gang.' I
have not seen Frank Hardy since leaving the Eastham Farm of the Texas Prison
System. That all may know that I have made this statement I am affixing here my
signature and fingerprints." This is a perfect example of the code of
honor that Clyde Barrow stuck to his entire life. The letter was meant to help
fellow Frank Hardy as he was trialed for murdering Doyle Johnson. However, he
was released in December 1933 and by 1934 all the chares against him were
dropped. This is the main reason why Clyde Barrow’s letter was not sent and
remained in the possesion of his family.
