Provenance:
We purchased a collection of over 100 personally gifted ties and handkerchiefs of actors, actresses, politicians
and television
personalities were gifted to collector Jim Schendel, who wrote to famous figures starting at a young
age due to illness, and received these responses from the people he wrote to. Some of the more
important figures include Jayne Mansfield, Bob Hope, Joan Crawford, J.C Penny (2), Fred Astaire,
Jimmy Nelson (bow tie), Liberace, Shirley Jones, Red Skelton (signed), Oscar Hammerstein,
Carol Burnett, A.B Chandler (from his last campaign), Eddie Cantor, Jack Paul, Charles
Van Doren, Howard Johnson and more. The majority of them are labeled, as Jim was extremely
organized and dedicated to his hobby. You will find the catalog listing scan below and you may
print this out as your provenance.
Autographs and Authentication:
There is no collectible genre that has more deceit than the autograph business. With twenty-five years in the business, we can honestly say that if there is even a 1% chance of something being fraudulent, we won't offer it for sale. We purchase from reputable sources, major auction houses and a small number of trusted autograph chasers. When we say it was obtained IN PERSON, it was obtained IN PERSON! Our inventory isn't "full" of the A-List names (as a person who has chased, we know how impossible it is to get quantities, or even come away with one) that are most in demand, but we offer a wide variety of interesting and uncommon signatures in our store. Of all of the authenticating houses out there, we recognize PSA/DNA or JSA as being above the rest and if you choose to get something authenticated by them and it is deemed suspect, we will be more than happy to give you a full refund. Please print out this eBay page after your purchase as your (tswmu) LOA or COA.
