100% fine.....a bit tricky in authentic form.  Secretarials have been accepted as real for years.

I’ve actually seen this piece before and it’s 100% authentic.

Those Paramount Studios lunch tickets have made their way around over the years.  I recently saw one signed off on by Montgomery Clift from this early 50's era.  I think they're great.

Nice to see David's here with Burt's somewhat elusive real signature.

Etienne, Thanks for the kind words. Since you have been around the block a few times, you know I post items I own and am confident are authentic. I want members this site to give their opinions before I have the item TPA'd before they might be sold down the road. Here is another Lancaster I feel is authentic from my exemplar library…..In a few days I will post a Paramount ticket of Elizabeth Taylor's. If you or any on this site have opinions on very early Taylors……be ready for opinions, Thanks ,David

Nick, Thanks for taking a look. I think I picked this up 15+ years ago. I would assume if you saw it, it was an online purchase…..I thought I picked it up at the LA autograph shows…..I'm getting old.

I saw an eBay seller historydirect selling these commissary slips a little while back. I think he may have also had a different Lancaster but I remember distinctly a Ray Milland one. These are awesome little time capsule signatures.

Nick, Thanks for the reply. I did think that I bought this off a dealers table in LA back in the day. Back then you could grab them by the hand full. The ones that paid cash at the register were trashed….the signed ones were sent to the accounting office and totals were kept and deducted from their checks...

Here's that Montgomery Clift Paramount commissary lunch ticket from the period around A PLACE IN THE SUN.  Must have had a sweet tooth that day...2 cheesecakes!

Nice stuff, Etienne! Speaking of Lancaster and Clift, I have never seen an authentic signed Lancaster/Kerr beach scene photo. I’d love to purchase one if it ever can be found.

Etienne, Clift also had a nice choice of steak….personally…. I don't know how he could drink the buttermilk…..That was a favorite back in my Dads and Clift's day. Noticed he was not kind to his server….most actors added a extra tip…….
