Rare Autographs

 
Lot 26
 

A good mixed collection of autographs, from celebrities and notable persons, variously signed, comprising: Douglas Fairbanks Jr (1909-2000), American actor, Hussein bin Talal (1935-1999) King of Jordan from 11 August 1952 until his death in 1999, William de Wiveleslie Abney (1843-1920) English astronomer, chemist, and photographer, Patricia Neal (1926-2010) American actress, Paul McCartney (b.1942) English musician & Hamish Stuart (b.1949) Scottish musician, Maria Callas (1923-1977) American-born Greek soprano, Jane Fonda (b.1937) American actress, Kevin Bacon (b.1958) American actor, Charlie Watts (1941-2021) English musician and Mary Tyler Moore (1936-2017) American actress.

From the estate of the late Franz-Peter Bach, a German autograph collector of many years.

His collection was meticulously collated, mostly in albums, and added to over many years.

Authenticated prior to the sale by Adam Andrusier.

Collated in a presentation album by Mr Bach, with tipped in photograph on opposing page. Following the sale, the autograph(s) will be removed and paired with the photograph, ready for collection / shipping.

Sold for £250
