3390-5669) Some Photos From The GERALD KOSKY SCRAPBOOK

I was contacted by a person who'd looked at my WebSite and wanted to purchase certain photos from the Gerald Kosky ScrapBook I'd been offering.

Since the ScrapBook hadn't sold in tact, I've decided to go ahead and sell the photos, thus breaking up the ScrapBook.

For those of you who are familiar with my ScrapBook offering, the following have been sold:

If you've the books The Magic of Gerald Kosky or The Magic of Tenkai, you will find some of the photos, I'm offering, in those books.

And, since these photos came from the Gerald Kosky ScrapBook, the photos being offered, here, are probably the original photos used for the Kosky and Tenkai books.

Having come from the Gerald Kosky ScrapBook, there are some tape and page remnants on the backside.

(a) This offering is for 8"x10" group shot photo.

GERALD KOSKY
WILLIAM TAYLOR
ADE DUVAL
HARRY MENDOZA
CHARLES "Think-A-Drink" HOFFMAN
-and-
Hollywood movie actor:
ADOLPH MENJOU

According to David Chavert, this was a 1932 magic party honoring Duval in Hollywood.

AND, speaking of David Chavert, if you attended the recently 2009 Los Angeles Conference on Magic History, David was there with his recently published book about Ade Duval

The photo, offered here, was used in David's book, so for one of you who purchased the book, here's your chance to own one of the original photographs from it. - $50.00

(b) This offering is for the three photos:
The SHIMADAs -and- The LARSENs
(and many others)

Each photo measure 3"x4 1/4".

The photos appear to be a magic convention with mostly Japanese guest.
Perhaps held in Japan.

The top photo shows a group of 16 people standing on stage together.

I see Mr. and Mrs. Shimada and Mr. and Mrs. Bill Larsen, Jr.

The bottom two photos show banquet tables with guests seated.
