See the stars of long ago shine with this movie star treasure chest collection. This pre-WWII package includes letters, non-sport tobacco cards, tobacco stamp/card albums and photo albums/sets, with emphasis on American and German cinema. Featured are:

(5) Mary Pickford items: 3/26/26 Mary Pickford (d.1979) typed letter signed ("7-8") on "Mary Pickford, Ritz-Carlton Hotel, New York" letterhead (EX-MT) with deference to one original period horizontal compacting fold at center, auction LOA from JSA; c.1920 "Night Lettergram Co." telegram (GD); c.1910s-1920s 6-1/2 x 8-1/2" portrait photograph with facsimile signature stamp; undated typed letter on "Jesse L. Laskey Feature Play Company" letterhead with facsimile signature stamp; 1/18/19 typed letter on "Mary Pickford" letterhead with logo of three flags, U.S., U.K. and Acadia and the letters "UAS", which stand for United Artists Studios, which was founded in 1919 by Charlie Chaplin (U.K.), D.W. Griffith and Douglas Fairbanks (U.S.) and Mary Pickford who was born in Toronto and must have roots in old Acadia (French Maritime Provinces). This antique sheet of letterhead is a rare representation of a virtually forgotten United Artists logo, that may have been personally designed for Pickford as we could find no similar example signed by any of the other UA founding partners or anybody else for that matter.
