Joan Crawford

Hi these three pictures have just come into my possession. Would think they are all ok? The second one isn’t complete as its 13x10 can’t get it on my scanner. The third one 7x5, and the the second 10x8.

The second example is superb and typical.

Hello,

Key to what though? Joan Crawford used both the decorative "typical" and normal four point "f" construction from the 20's until at least 1949.

I like the 2nd Joan Crawford. Of the three it would be the only one I would consider to add to my collection. The first one has some damage. The third one just doesn't look right. Joan is not that expensive and there are many out there. Avoid one and three would be my advice.

Hello Joe

Yes, the middle one is the one to choose - spectacular. I agree with your assessment about the others and your general advice.

I appreciate that Eric. Joan Crawford and Bette Davis. Two Hollywood Legends that one can be picky when looking to add them to their collection. Prices are very affordable and some great bargains out there if one looks around.

Hi Joe,

So true. Here is mine. Was mine. I sold off my most all golden oldies a while back to focus on other things that interest me more. This was trimmed yes, but this was the copy used to crop for a newspaper published when the film was premiered and marked as such on the reverse in grease pencil and with many stamps, crop lines and so on. It was my favorite Crawford after having many. This, like my Joseph Cotten which I still have, is made out to "Larry Cantwell" and was signed C. 1963.
