An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed 8" x 10" (8x10) Movie Still (Learn More) Warner Baxter was an actor from the 1910s to the 1950s. He was born in 1889, and in the early 1920s he rose to prominence in silent movies, becoming a major star of the 1920s, while he was in his 30s. He won the Oscar for Best Actor as The Cisco Kid in "In Old Arizona" in 1929, and he remained a top star throughout the 1930s! Some of his other movies include: Arizona Kid (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), 42nd Street, West of Zanzibar, The Prisoner of Shark Island, Penthouse, and Slave Ship. He passed away in 1951 at the age of 62. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Warner Baxter! 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: good. The still has darkened unevenly diagonally across Baxter's face but it is not very distracting and the still is otherwise in pretty good condition! Learn More about condition grades
