Two Cool Ones

At a garage sale today, my wife picked up an old magazine called Virginia Reel. On the inside was an original illustration on the same page as the illustration appears. The seller knew it, and still sold it for $2.

At the flea market a guy had a bunch of garbage photos. This was the only old one and it's autographed by one of them, or their secretary. Either way this is the radio duo of Amos and Andy.

 

Probably had no idea who they were.

 

He actually did. He just didn't know they might be collectible. He wanted $10, and I didn't want to pay that. So I walked away. I knew it was worth that. I just didn't want to pay it. I went back later, and I said "I don't who they are..." and he says "Amos and Andy". He then got out his phone to look them up. I didn't want him to see the prices people are asking for photos of them older. So, I just gave him the $10. There's a site that uses all kinds of sponsoring that starts autographed photos at about $350. For me this is a keeper.

Hazel Bux did the illustration. I can't get into the site, but I think she did fashion illustrations for the Philadelphia Enquirer.
