Outstanding fine autographs and artifacts auction




RR Auction is known for being able to bring in some of the rarest and most desirable collectibles, especially when it comes to the movie or entertainment industry. This moth they are actually holding a fine autographs and artifacts auction that includes classic entertainment items that any collector would be thrilled to have. This collection includes rare photographs, autographs and even official documents that carry important signatures.

A Vivien Leigh photo as Scarlett O’Hara in Gone with the wind is estimated at over $2,500. The vintage glassy photo that measures 8.25 X 10 inches is signed in purple ink. It is an incredibly rare portrait of the famous actress in her most iconic role. On top of that, the picture is in fine condition, with just some scattered creasing.

Another quite rare item included in this auction is a Humphrey Bogart portrait. The photo measures 11 X 14 inches and it depicts Bogart in a pin – stripe suit. The size of the picture makes it quite scarce and highly valuable, as it was too estimated at over $2,500. The portrait is inscribed in black fountain pen, which reads: “To Jack Perry, Good luck Jack, Humphrey Bogart.” This item is in very good condition and has some professional repairs to creases and tears. The writing is a few shades light, but professionally backed.

Apart from these exquisite items, the lot also includes a Grace Kelly portrait which was estimated at over $1,000. This 8 X 10 inches vintage glossy portrait depicts Kelly in a head and shoulders pose and is in fine condition, apart from a few light creases and a light paperclip mark on the top edge. Grace Kelly wears a floral patterned dress and cardigan in the photo, which is also inscribed. The inscription reads “To Helen, Fondly, Grace Kelly.” It is quite a remarkable item, especially since it is in such great condition.
