The Vintage Autograph of Audrey Meadows 1922-1996 "Alice Kramden"

Who didn't love Alice, the long suffering wife of Ralph Kramden, of 328 Chauncey Street? While putting up with Ralph's hair-brained schemes, she simultaneously managed to run their household on $62.50 a week (up $30 from 1951)! Although she is a bit more available in vintage form than Gleason or Randolph, she still presents a challenge to find a nice SP. Finishing a vintage Honeymooners set of signed photographs, or even vintage signatures, can be quite a challenge.

Here is a very early example from 1948 age 26 (her break came in 1951's Top Banana) and several from the golden years of The Honeymooners with a few documents after those until the last year The Honeymooners was filmed - 1978.

I just found a 1955/56 Audrey Meadows preprint!

Here is another example, this postmarked March 26th, 1956, alongside a Pat Saddleman secretarial "Gleason."

Has a anyone seen this preprint before? In all my years of looking I have not I have seen Carney from the 1050's but I don't have a scan of that. It is always the same postcards - him coming out of the sewer - a horizontal postcard with a "signature" on the wide right margin.
