An Original Vintage Autographed Dixie Ice Cream Premium Still (8x10; measures 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm]) (Learn More) Red Skelton (born Richard Red Skelton) was a legendary actor and slapstick comedian from the 1930s to the 1990s. Some of his movies include: Three Little Words, Bathing Beauty, Whistling in the Dark, and many more! He had a long-running hit TV series as well! He passed away in 1997 at the age of 84. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Red Skelton! Also note that this is a special color 8" x 10" item that was given away as a premium from the Dixie Cup company. The Dixie Cup company created a large number of such premiums, which were given away to kids who sent in Dixie Cup lids. Each premium would have a full-color image of the star on the front, and on the back was biographical information of that star, along with black & white scenes from some of their movies. Every Dixie Cup premium would have two punch holes in one border, and kids would be sent two "covers" (one front and one back) to create a "scrapbook" (the covers gave the instructions on how to make the scrapbook by binding the Dixie Cup premiums between the two covers "with color cord, shoe string, or ribbon". Note that these were first made in the mid-1930s, and they continued all the way to the early 1950s (when the two holes switched to the top of the premium). Our consignor is a very longtime collector of movie paper who purchased this item years ago, and it was signed, but he doesn't know how the signature was obtained, and he (and we) believe it is likely that the autograph is authentic. As is true of all the signed items we are currently auctioning, we give every buyer 30 days in which to review what they purchased and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction. On non-signed items, we give a "lifetime guarantee" on everything we auction, but on signed items, we give the above modified guarantee of 30 days after the auction closes. Condition: very good.
