Frank Sinatra Personally Inscribed Signed Photograph with Original 1991 Correspondence & Hollywood Envelope
Exceptional vintage Frank Sinatra autograph grouping highlighted by a personally inscribed and signed photograph, accompanied by the original 1991 correspondence documenting the autograph request.
The centerpiece is a glossy portrait of Sinatra in formal evening attire, personally inscribed and signed in silver ink:
“To Per, All the best – Frank Sinatra”
The lot is accompanied by an original letter dated November 21, 1991, written by Swedish admirer Per Cederblad directly to Frank Sinatra. In the letter, Cederblad thanks Sinatra for his performances in Oslo and Malmö and specifically asks him for an autograph.
Also included is the original period mailing envelope associated with the correspondence, addressed to Cederblad in Sweden and bearing a Hollywood, California return address.
The grouping further includes a second Sinatra portrait bearing a printed facsimile signature, as well as two vintage Michelob promotional pieces featuring Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and Liza Minnelli. The signatures appearing on these additional promotional items are printed facsimiles and are not represented as original autographs.
An appealing Sinatra autograph grouping with unusually strong period provenance linking the signed photograph directly to the original recipient.
Condition:
The signed photograph remains attractive overall, with light surface and handling wear consistent with age. The correspondence and mailing envelope show expected folds, creasing, toning and handling wear. The additional photograph and promotional material show minor age-related wear. Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the condition description.
Provenance / Authentication:
The original 1991 letter, period mailing envelope and personalized inscription provide compelling internal provenance linking the signed photograph to the original recipient. The autograph has not yet been authenticated by PSA/DNA, Beckett Authentication Services or JSA, and no third-party certificate of authenticity is included. It is therefore offered on the strength of the accompanying provenance and should be evaluated by the buyer from the detailed photographs provided.
Included in the lot:
A compelling and well-documented Sinatra autograph grouping centered on a personalized signed photograph with original period correspondence.
