Very Rare Auction Catalog

Live Auction

11" (28 cm.) x 8". The estate of Rudolph Valentino was brought to auction in Hollywood on December 10,1926 following his death earlier that year,and in the catalog prepared for that auction,contents of his home as well as artwork,weaponry,jewelry,and memorabilia were auctioned as well as his home "Falcon Lair",his automobile,saddle horses,dogs and club memberships. The foreword to the catalog was written by his dear friend S. George Ullman who also authored a biography "Valentino As I Knew Him" (published in that same year,1926,by Macy- Masius). Included in this lot is the very rare Valentino auction catalog (cover edges rough),the Ullman biography,and an April 1927 issue of Picture Play magazine with an extensive article on the results of The Valentino Auction.
