DOYLE NEW YORK: THE ESTATE OF DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS, JR.
Doyle asked me to remind you of the upcoming Fairbanks Jr. auction. TinTin over at the Trad offers some advance and tasty recon as well. I’ve also given it a mention or two over at tumblr.
I don’t think this auction will have the same voyeuristic, “dab your handkerchief in the Biograph Theater blood pools of Dillinger” frenzy that the Duke of Windsor sale had years ago. But the prices will surely be strong.
So head on over to the Doyle website and bid a grand or two on a handkerchief. I did. You might wanna bid on his Belgians.
Onward.

I've got dibs on the lot.
That smoking jacket is tremendous....
Do you think the watch belonged to his father because the jr engraving looks different. Elegance! BarbaraG
AnonBarb...I don't think so. If it had been his dad's, I think the D and the F would have been centered. But I'd be the last to know.
MainLiner...then get yourself one. After you pony up that college tuition.
FogeyCod...I'll be at the preview Thursday night. I'll just put your name on everything.
Some of the things are just so great that words can hardly describe it! Thank you!

Oiks! Must go and give a gander. Thanks for the heads up, old boy...

Would love to have lived in the days of personal photographs and signature/greetings (penned with a fountain pen) - Wonder if the times were really more simple - or does it just seem that way to us now? Just wondering....
Won a blazer-fits perfectly!
Nabbed a blazer; fits just fine!
Oh how fun, I bid on (and won) his monogrammed leather jewelry cases -so happy to own such a piece of (stylish) history.
