An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed Movie Key Book (8x11 keybook) 8" x 11" Still (Learn More) Martha Raye was an actress and comedienne from the 1930s to the 1980s, known affectionately as "The Big Mouth". She had seven husbands, and four of them were in a seven year span! Some of her movies include: Monsieur Verdoux, Hellzapoppin', Never Say Die, and Alice in Wonderland. Toward the end of her life, she made memorable TV commercials for Polident, the denture cleaner! She passed away in 1994 at the age of 78. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Martha Raye! Also note that this key book still is on a deluxe heavyweight paper stock and has an extra 1" on the top of the still with four punch holes (where the still was kept in a binder). About the Collection this Item Comes From Note that this item (and 40 others we are auctioning this week, each in its own auction) was consigned to us by a man who was a major movie memorabilia dealer in the 1970s and 1980s. During that time, he was approached by an elderly man named Sterling H. Bond, who had collected autographs for many years (starting in the early 1930s), and who sold the dealer his entire collection. Bond had tracked down many important Hollywood celebrities and obtained autographed items (often personalized to him), and he also had autographs from celebrities who were not in the film business (including famous politicians!). The dealer was so impressed with this collection that rather than sell it item by item, he began collecting autographs himself, sending celebrities items by Registered Mail which they then autographed and returned to him! He also purchased a few autographed items from top autograph dealers of the 1970s and 1980s. Now, decades later, the dealer has consigned these autographed items to us. So all of these 41 autographed items we are auctioning were either obtained by long time collector Sterling H. Bond, or were obtained by this memorabilia dealer, and we feel certain that the autograph on this item is authentic! Note that each of the 41 items from this consignor all have this paragraph on them. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
