Howdy Mopos - Have just listed material from 3 great archives on Ebay.
Now, and in the upcoming weeks, see material from Kenneth MacGowan, P.F. Sloan and the magical Milt Moritz! Macgowan was a theater producer and partner with Eugene O'Neill before he worked at RKO and Fox producing films like LITTLE WOMEN with Hepburn, MANHUNT and LIFEBOAT. Macgowan founded the Theater Arts Department at UCLA in 1947 and was a prolific writer and critic. We have posters, papers, scripts, contracts, books - all kinds of amazing goodies from a lifetime of studio film production. P.F. Sloan is a legendary rocker who was pivotal to the 1960's LA rock scene - he wrote EVE OF DESTRUCTION, SECRET AGENT MAN and countless others, performing with groups like THE MAMMAS AND THE PAPPAS and the GRASSROOTS (a group he created), as well as being the voice of Dean in JAN & DEAN. To coincide with the release of his biography, Phil consigned his gold and silver record awards, posters, stills and rare record collection - all kinds of goodies up now and more rolling out. Last, but not least, please find material from the Milt Moritz collection. I've been looking for Milt all my life and didn't know who he was until I met him. Milt was the VP of Advertising and Publicity at AIP from 1956 until the company was sold to FIlmways in the early 1970's. MIlt and his team were the masterminds of all those fantastic exploitation double-bills and everything else AIP sold in those years. Just being in his presence is an honor. He opened up his collection to me for sale to you - Beautiful pressbooks and a gorgeous selection of rare, mint tri-folds back to the 1950's. Like buying from a time capsule. Great material up on Ebay now with more to come in following weeks. As a fun touch, all material above comes with COA's from the Museum of Mom and Pop Culture to ensure provenance. Sloan and Moritz auction COA's have their signatures. Unfortunately, Mr. Macgowan passed away in 1963, so his signature is not available - we are working closely with the estate in the handling of his important materials. Please note our new website is close to launch. Will be tweaking for a couple more weeks, then inviting you folks to visit. It will be dedicated to eye candy of all kinds - from postage stamps to billboards (with a special place in our heart for the finest movie material). We like to say, "IT'S THE MUSEUM WHERE EVERYTHING'S FOR SALE". Stay tuned. Will keep you posted! Thanks!
