[Archive]

Posted By: <b>CLAUDE</b><p>Picked this up recently. I have seen the several postcards assiciated with the Holiday Inn but this is an actual black & white photo with facimile autograph. It measures 5X7 1/4"....any clue as to the year of issued?? I checked the yearly SCD and it only lists the postcards but NOT this photo.<br /><br />Thanks-<br />Claude<br /><br /><img src="http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c291/1966CUDA/UNGRADED/mantle.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Bob Lemke</b><p>We used to list quite a few of the Mantle Holiday Inn items, but I see they've been dropped from the 2008 book.<br /><br />I know the "photos" were widely counterfeited some years ago, and you really need to be familiar with the stock of the originals to tell the difference.

Posted By: <b>Bob Lemke</b><p>Good to see you guys are still out there turning up the good stuff; I valued your input when I was working on the Standard Catalog.<br /><br />Now, Don is the go-to guy for vintage additions, corrections, etc.; my participation is minimal these days.
