James Dean Collection of 3 Items: Original Photograph with "Mr & Mrs Marcus Winslow" written on the back Trifold Pamphlet brochure about the original James Dean Memorial Foundation 8 1/2 x 11 playbill of Thornton Wilders production"Our Town" that was put on by the Memorial Foundation in Fairmount Indiana, Summer 1956. Okay, is what I know about these items: The James Dean Memorial Foundation was started by a man named Bill Dakota, ( i think?) shortly after the Death of James Dean. T was fighting and bickering and legal actions bouncing off the wall in the 1950's over the use of James Dean photos and movies. Bill started the James Dean Foundation to raise funds to create a statue of James Dean. The location was to be at the, now called, HOLLYWOOD FOREVER CEMETERY, on Santa Monica Boulevard. However, his foundation was shut down basically Because he ran out of money trying to "fight" for the right to run the foundation. The trifold pamphlet is a promo piece which describes the foundation and its purpose. The "playbill" I have is a play that was put on by the foundation to raise funds in 1956. And the Photograph has the name "Mr. & Mrs Marcus Winslow" handwritten on the back. I believe Marcus was his cousin. All 3 pieces are in very good condition. The Trifold has some discoloration on the front on the top....but it doesn't feel serious to me. I have been researching this stuff for weeks, and I am pretty sure this information is accurate- but I am NOT a collector. I imagine that a true collector can tell by the pictures I have ... I would appreciate it if someone knows something other than what I am saying in this listing to please shoot me an email with corrected informationOne last note: I found it very difficult to find any information on the James Dean Memorial Foundation. So, these items are A) Very rare or B) I'm a horrible detective.Okay, if you have any questions, shoot me an email. Shipping Info: If you purchase multiple items from me I will combine them to save you shipping costs. I TRY and set up everything to automatically calculate shipping the CHEAPEST way possible. Sometimes we have to use a bigger box to accommodate an inexpensive item and it may seem ridiculous on the shipping costs. But is what you should know: WE SHIP THE CHEAPEST WAY POSSIBLE AND NEVER, NEVER OVERCHARGE YOU FOR SHIPPING!!! Sometimes we add $1.00 to the cost because we are using a box and/or packing material that we paid for. In the event you buy something from us and we discover we have overcharged you shipping costs WE WILL REFUND YOUR MONEY VIA PAY PAL. Does this item REALLY come from a BARN? Yes, we really have the barn pictured above, and yes that is w we store all our Ebay items that we have collected over the years, or the items that I create. Why do we have such a wide variety of items in our barn? Well, my husband, cute as he may be, has a, well let's just call it an "addiction issue". Whenever he sees something at an auction that is kinda cool it becomes "highly collectible" don't cha know! That barn is full of highly collectible items now and my new task is to "unfull" it and find those collectors! So, I am not really a collector of anything but live dogs and cats and a few chickens, so if I "misrepresent" something it is only by accident...and I guarantee your complete satisfaction or your moola back if you are not happy with what you buy from me. Oh, and sometimes my humor gets the better of me, so excuse that nonsense should it appear in any listing ALL MY ITEMS COME FROM OUR SMOKE FREE ENVIRONMENT Please, if you have any questions ask away!
