Such a lovely man. When I first found his store many years ago, he couldn't have been kinder or more helpful or more entertaining. Very sad.

Re: [MOPO] Jerry Ohlinger [EXTERNAL]
I frequently spent time at The Fields gallery in NY which I think was on 17th st ..and Jerry’s shop was not far from there I remember the shop was a bit forboding when you walked in there was counter in front you and behind rows of steel cages ..but a friendly staff and when you requested something it was brought to the front counter for yr inspection on one occasion I was interested in a mummy’s curse 1/2 sheet and one was brought out for my inspection I thought the asking price was high and asked to speak to the owner and jerry did come out and gave me a short course on title rarity and condition I remember him as being personable and forthright. i left feeling I could always go back there and buy with confidence On Mon, Nov 12, 2018 at 3:18 PM Smith, Grey - 1367 wrote: > Jerry was a very pleasant guy. > > We dealt by phone in the 1980s when I bought a Creature from the Black > Lagoon three sheet and Buck Jones, Sudden Bill Dorn one sheet from him as > well as other odds and ends. > > I didn’t meet him until 1992 when in NY for Bruce’s Christies auction and > went by the shop and picked up a Follow the Fleet one sheet, as I recall. > > We kept in touch through the years and we corresponded from time to time > and did so just a month ago, though I was unaware he was ill. > > He was a nice buyer and consignor with us and an asset to the hobby. > > He will be missed. > > > > > > *From:* MoPo List *On Behalf Of * > Posteritati > *Sent:* Monday, November 12, 2018 1:17 PM > *To:* MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU > *Subject:* Re: [MOPO] Jerry Ohlinger [EXTERNAL] > > > > Nice story Bruce.

Jerry was a very pleasant guy.

I didn’t meet him until 1992 when in NY for Bruce’s Christies auction and went by the shop and picked up a Follow the Fleet one sheet, as I recall.
