Benny, Jack. (1894-1974) American Comedian.
Greeting Card Signed. 2¾ x 2", on off-white card stock. Boldly signed
in full in black ink. This card makes subtle reference to a time gone by. The
initials "L.S./ M.F.T." adorning the bottom left stand for slogan of his
corporate sponsorship, "Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco." . Lightly
soiled but not affecting signature.
Estimated Value $150-225.
For
many years I saved the LSMFT card until I had the opportunity to lunch with Mr.
Benny at Hillcrest Country Club. He laughed when he saw the card and, of
course, signed it. -- Gerry Burg.
