Happy Felton opinion?
 
1 Attachment(s)
Felton is one of the few I need for my 1955 Dodgers, and this one was offered to me. I'm very familiar with his auto, and think this one is solid, but would like some additional opinions if possible. Thanks guys!

Looks solid. Good luck and congrats if you finish your set with this!

Thanks Mike. Any other opinions?

Thanks Rick. It's so cool you have one with a postmark of 1955.

Mike, actually both are from 1955. The second one is from the cover of a 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers team signed yearbook that appears to have been gifted by Happy Felton to someone named Irene.

Thanks guys. I went ahead and picked it up at a really great price. Now down to 4 of the 1955 team...and all easy. They'll trickle in throughout the year.

I wonder if that might have been Irene Hodges, Gil's daughter?

She is in a facebook group called Gil Hodges is in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

You could run some pics by and see what she says, if you care enough to do so.

Interesting. I will have to check that out.

Just a quick update. Got the Felton autograph today, and it's gorgeous...much better than the photo. As an added plus (this was from an autograph book from the 50's) on the other side is an autograph of actor Jim Boles. Boles was a long time actor who worked regularly in both movies and TV from 1947 til 1977. I'm very happy.
