Year of Ann Dvorak: Day 163<\/h3>\n

\"Signed\"<\/p>\n

Yesterday, we took a look at the first autographed photo of Ann-D I ever bought. Unfortunately, it turned out to not be her signature, but was probably signed by a studio secretary. Today, we take a look at the real deal.<\/p>\n

\"PTDC0003\"<\/p>\n

Here we have two 11x14s signed by Ann sometime between 1932 and 1936. I know this because around 1936 Ann changed her signature. Apparently, someone was forging her signature on checks and so she altered her autograph. Here’s a closer look at the signature on the second photo.<\/p>\n

\"Signature\"<\/p>\n

The top photo I did not pay a dime for. A local dealer who I have known for years obtained it in a lot of other photos which he made a huge profit on, so he just handed it over to me one day!<\/p>\n

The second photo I bought from an eBay dealer. As I recall, I had purchased some Ann item from him and asked if he had anything else, and he came up with this gorgeous shot. He wanted $120 which I really could not afford at the time. I offered $75 and once he realized that I was an obsessive fan and not a dealer who would try to turn a profit, he let it go for the $75. It has hung up in every place I have lived ever since.<\/p>\n

\"Signature\"<\/p>\n

The above cut signature is currently listed on eBay and is another example of Ann’s pre-1936 autograph. The asking price is $99 which is a bit high. The photo that’s with it usually goes for around $30-45 (assuming it’s original) and the cut should not be more than $20, so $50 is a more accurate price.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow, we’ll dig up Ann’s post 1936 signature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
