A journalist managed to obtain beautiful vintage 1930s and 1940s photos, and had them signed over time in the 1970s and 1980s, with amazing content. Likely one of the best collections of its kind to hit the market in years, anyone nostalgic for old Hollywood will really enjoy this section of our auction.
