movie stills and possibly the only 3-sheet poster from Singin’ in the Rain! (sold $9,600)
Some of the items to be auctioned above (l. to r., top to bottom):
Harpo Marx signature 1930’s collapsible top hat and wig acquired
from him ($20,000-30,000–sold $27,500)); Cover of Debbie Reynolds’ Auction Finale Book
