This autograph album from the 1930s and '40s contains a treasure trove of signatures from sports and entertainment icons of the day. Signed in either pencil or fountain pen by 46 luminaries including Babe Ruth, Orson Welles, Ronald Colman, Sterling Holloway, Jack Dempsey, Marilyn Maxwell, Lefty Gomez, Barney Ross, Xavier Cugat, Walter Abel, Zero Mostel, Jane Wyatt, George Burns and Gracie Allen, Thomas Mitchell, Irene Rich and more. In all, there are more than 40 autographs present, some with personalized messages. The signatures average 8/10 and were obtained in New York City and Brooklyn over the two decades. The first page reads, "To keep my friends is my delight so in this book I pray you'll write," and Ruth's signature appears immediately after, kicking off a mesmerizing walk down memory lane. The album measures 4.5x 6". Comes with PSA LOA.
