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.

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.

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.

Anyone interested in bidding or even viewing these items should not miss the opportunity! RR Auction’s website, their Facebook and Twitter page are a great go-to for additional information both on the items and on the auction itself!
