GILBERT Johnny ? 1990 and WILLIAMS Al ? ?
Photograph Signed
Gilbert was a popular Midwest wrestling champion of the '50s and '60s holder of many titles half of a celebrated tag team with Billy Goelz. Williams was a fixture on early national wrestling telecasts out of Marigold Garden with tag team partner Ruby Kay; narrowly missed being part of the bloodiest wreck in wrestling history: on March 3 1945 a flight from England to Paris carrying six out of seven pro wrestlers on a USO tour to entertain Allied troops crashed killing all aboard; Williams missed this flight and later that month wrestled at a Fred Kohler wrestling program in Chicago to raise funds for his colleagues' widows and children. PS 5" X 3�" n.p. Chicago IL n.y. July 1960. Very good. Minor yellowish tape stain at each corner not terribly disfiguring and well away from signatures. Original black-and-white snapshot likely one of a kind showing Williams and Goelz at a table signing autographs -- Williams signs across the tabletop boldly in red fineline marker. Gilbert stands behind them raising a fist in mock threat -- he too signs boldly in red fineline across his white t-shirt. unknown

I have found it utterly impossible to accept your invitation to attend the one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of Dickinson College and deliver the address which I should have been glad to do on every account because of the importance of the occasion and especially because you as President of the Alumni have the matter in charge and are to preside on that occasion. But in truth I have found my time and attention to necessary duties so seriously invaded by what I have already done in that line during the present season that it is not possible for me to give any more time to it. As you will realize I have many matters personal professional and semi-public to which I am committed and which I cannot possibly neglect." Nice full signature.

SCHMIDT Hans 1925 ?
Inscribed Photograph Signed
This Canadian wrestler played a villainous German nicknamed "The Munich Menace" and was a top draw in the 1950s; debuting in 1953 he battled Lou Thesz Killer Kowalski Yukon Eric Buddy Rogers and other big names earning the NWA U.S. championship in 1956-57 and the International championship in 1961 and 1965. Superb matte-finish IPS heavy stock 16" X 20" n.p. Chicago IL 1961 January 20. Near fine. Set against a light background this striking closeup half-length portrait shows Schmidt wearing black trunks and a heavyweight championship belt. At the upper left he inscribes it large and bold in blue ballpoint: "Best of Luck / To Donald M. Burnell / Yours in Sports / Jan. 20 1961 / Hans Schmidt." Though not specified this was signed in Chicago where Schmidt had an especially large following and where one writer called him "probably the greatest drawing card in the past decade in the mat game." He has hair in this image which shows it is an earlier shot -- Schmidt later shaved his head as did many ersatz German wrestlers. This quite nice and highly unusual item was likely created for some now-forgotten promotional purpose but it bears no photographer's credit or other identifications recto or verso. Choice vintage piece from the "Golden Age of Wrestling" -- likely one of a kind in this large format. Uncommon thus. Superb for display. unknown

IPS 8" X 10" n.p. n.y. ca. 1965. Very good. Minor bit of wear and discoloration but overall attractive. Head-and-shoulders of the smiling mustacheiod young actor inscribed and signed in red ink in a light area at upper left: "To / Jack / Best of Luck / John Derek." Much of his signature falls on top of his dark colored shirt making for weak contrast. Nice early portrait inscribed later. unknown
