An Autographed Letter (measures 4" x 5" [10 x 13 cm]) (Learn More)

Jack Oakie was an actor from the 1920s to the 1960s. Some of his roles include: The Great Dictator (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), Around the World in Eighty Days, Thieves Highway, If I Had a Million, and Lover Come Back. He passed away in 1978 at the age of 74.
Important Added Info: Note that this letter has been personally autographed (signed) by Jack Oakie! It was sent to opera singer and actress Lily Pons, when she was about to make an appearance, and the letter has "mr. and mrs. jack oakie" printed on the front, and the entire letter is handwritten by Mr. Oakie, as is the outside of the envelope. It is very elaborate, featuring Oakie's enthusiasm and crazy humor, and is signed "Jack 'Spooks' Oakie". Pons and Oakie worked together on the Lux Radio Hour as well as on Pons' first two films, That Girl from Paris in 1936 and Hitting a High Note in 1937. Our consignor is a longtime collector who purchased this signed item from a reputable dealer. He does not have a certificate of authenticity, but we believe the signature to likely be 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 (although we prefer they do any "authenticating" while the auction is "live" and before they place a bid) 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 to fine.
