Important Added Info: Note that these stills come to us from a man who worked for a newspaper during those years, and he saw that the newspaper did not want the stills after using them, so he asked if he could have them, and he has saved them over all these years and is offering them now! Also note that these TV stills measure 5" x 7".

Note that the items in this lot are from the 1970s to the 1980s. All of them have a snipe that folds over the bottom of the still and it is lightly glued to the back, which was done by the studio when the stills were made (and each snipe gives much information about the still). They come to us from a man who worked for a newspaper during those years, and he saw that the newspaper did not want the stills after using them, so he asked if he could have them, and he has saved them over all these years and is offering them now!
