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 rare item being a personal letter signed by Bram Stoker and on his own personally embossed letter paper. There are many examples of Stoker written letters, but these are on behalf of his employer, the famous actor Henry Irving and so signed by Irving; such pieces command a hefty price. This is a much rarer piece being both personal and actually signed by Bram Stoker and as such is very difficult piece to find for the collector; Stoker wrote at speed as he had numerous letters to write for Irving and as mentioned signed letters by him, on personally headed letter paper, are rare.  Rare 

Size:             7.25 x 9.50 inches approx. 

Condition: (Range from Fine – Very Good – Good – Poor with ++ to - - for further differentiation) :      Very Good ++:    horizontal fold; very good corners and edges minimal wear; a little age spotting; thicker paper; embossed letterhead. (see photos for further detail; feel free to ask for specific detail.) 

POST & PACKAGING: all items are securely packaged, for as a collector myself I appreciated the need for secure packaging and all materials used are new. Posting / shipping depends on the item value and under £10.00 1st class post will be used; for items over this amount a tracked system will be used for both UK and international postings / shipping.
