All items offered are genuine release (usually 1st), old, cinema movie items and so had a 'life' before sale, so unlikely ever to be mint.

Note on images: I am no professional photographer and light sources and reflections may appear on the image that are errors and clearly not on the originals

This item:  A most frustrating item! A rare original signed photo of the late Brian Donlevy (1901 - 1972) as Professor Quatermass in Quatermass II. The photo is actually an original, vintage publicity still with snipes still attached to the verso, so collectable in itself. The photo was dedicated to Picturegoer Readers and reads: To the readers of Picturegoer Best wishes always Brian Donlevy. The problem is that Mr Donlevy had a bad biro to use so there is much skipping in evidence; tilt the piece and one can see the indentations of all the words he wrote. If perfect this vintage item would command a hefty price, so I have pitched it much lower as it is still a vintage and rare item.  Rare

Dedicated: see above.

Inscription:  see above.

Size:    8.00 x 10.00 inches approx.

Condition: (Range from Fine – Very Good – Good – Poor with ++ to - - for further differentiation) :  Very Good -  -:   The photo is very good with wear and corner missing to bottom left corner, affecting little.
