Auction History Result 5y473 WHIP WILSON signed 8.25x10 still '50s portrait of the cowboy star standing by his horse! Date Sold 4/11/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Whip Wilson was an actor from the 1940s to the 1950s. He was 37 when he made his first real movie, after having been a Marine in World War II. It was 1948, and Monogram Pictures had been looking for a replacement for Buck Jones, who had died in 1942, and Wilson bore a resemblance to Jones, and Monogram signed him to a contract without his having any experience. They gave him a whip like Lash La Rue, so he could have a cool name and a trademark, and he was very successful over the next five years, but in 1953, he basically retired and managed an apartment complex, passing away in 1964 at the age of 53. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Whip Wilson! Also note that this still measures 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm]. Note that this item was consigned to us by a man who was a major movie memorabilia dealer from the 1980s on. During that time, he would regularly purchase collections of movie memorabilia from both dealers and collectors, and in some of those collections he purchased autographed items, and over the years he did not re-sell any of the autographed items. Now he has gathered up together all of his autographed items and consigned them to us. So all of the items from this consignor we are auctioning were purchased by this dealer from longtime dealers and collectors, and we feel it is quite likely that the autograph on this item is authentic! Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
