Important Added Info: Note that we have only auctioned one example of this 1968 first release British quad in the last 14 years, and that example sold for $1,225! Also note that it has been established that the leg in the iconic image on this item belongs to Linda Gray (who later went on to fame in TV's "Dallas"), and not Anne Bancroft. However, as it is clearly intended to be thought of as Bancroft's leg (Gray was an unbilled body double, or more accurately, "leg double"), we are referring to it as such. What IS linenbacking?
