Found this one on ebay this past week. I guess some folks weren't looking cause I got this for less than a third of book value. Has some rust and chipping but overall a steal of a deal, 1930s!

inky, I think I've been in the business and in a great many TV and other situations, so much that I'm just a bit either jaded or numb to it all now. For some odd reason, I have never been nervous around celebrities. I've been around everyone from Tom Hanks to Lionel Richie and never really thought about it. It's been fun though and I do feel very fortunate.
Thank you shughs!
