Voluminous collection of autographs from the mid-20th century, comprising approximately 150 signatures of major music, movie and sports stars. Standout signatures include Elvis Presley, Orson Welles, Nat King Cole, John Wayne, Boris Karloff, Fats Waller, Edward G. Robinson, Lou Costello, William Frawley and Peter Lawford, nearly all signed without inscription. Most of the signatures appear in an autograph book measuring 6'' x 4.5'', although some are loose such as Elvis Presley who signs on a 3.75'' x 2.375'' slip glued to a larger album page. Most signatures rendered in ink, with a minority in pencil. Signatures were collected by Edna Hedge, spouse of singer and disc jockey Jimmy Hedge who collected the autographs while traveling with her husband. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the Hedge's daughter, as well as a near complete list of all the autographs. Most remain in very good condition.
Additional list of signatures can be found here.
