Ladies & Gentlemen,Rolling Stones 1974 Movie orig POSTER Ziegfeld NYC Framed

by

2012 marks the 50th anniversary of the Rolling Stones and they are currently on their reunion tour!  Never a better time to add to your collection.

Pictured here is an original poster from the 1974 release of the concert film “Ladies and Gentlemen, the Rolling Stones” in New York City. Circus-style drawings for the “Stones World Famous Traveling Movie!” If you check on the internet, one sold for $368 in 2011 at auction, and they are getting harder to find.

The tour began at the Ziegfeld Theatre on April 15, 1974. Lots of info on Wikipedia about the very limited road show engagements. Has been stored away for decades in a simple metal, plastic & cardboard frame ready to hang. I believe it is mounted but may just be resting on the cardboard.

Details are:

  •  Measures 12″ x 36″
  • Excellent condition

Definitely interesting and unusual piece of memorabilia for your ROLLING STONES collection. Whimsical and interesting as a work of art as well.   We have other original tickets and Rolling stones memorabilia listed separately; happy to combine shipping for extra savings.  These can be found in our ebay store connectibles.

Antique Bisque 24″ Armand Marseille 390 Doll 7-1/2 Grand Dame Costume and Jewels

by

Pictured here is a beautiful Armand Marseille 24″ antique bisque doll, fresh from a local collector who took GREAT care of her beloved dolls and had extremely elaborate costumes designed for each one. She is the most elegantly dressed doll we’ve ever offered with a flowing cloak trimmed in Ostrich feathers, beaded purse, gilded fan, real kidskin gloves and tiara! A true “Grande Dame”, ready for a night at the opera.

Marked A 7-1/2 M on back of head, remnants of “made in Germany” on back. Hand sewn outfit has so many elegant layers that I decided NOT to undress her and possibly damage the clothing. Dripping with jewels and accessories, I believe the custom designed one of a kind outfit alone cost nearly $450.

Doll head is in excellent condition, no cracks or repairs. Eyes seem to stay open and I decided not to nudge them, although they are on a rocker.  Dimple in chin, real lashes as well as painted, blue glass eyes.

  • Human hair wig has crystal tiara as well as feathered headdress (slight bend in a feather.)
  • Long cloak has gold loops that allow doll to wear the cape by placing arms through the open loops.VERY beautiful.
  • Compo body underneath the clothing. I did see one area with a flake on arm.
  • Hand sewn clothing has incredible embellishment and details. Jewelry includes necklace earrings, with crystals on shoes and wrists.
  • Charming hanging purse AND folding fan, all beautiful and excellent.
  • Silk Dress has petticoat, netting, very full bosom, snaps in back. Excellent.
  • Doll stand included, ready to display.

An exceptional doll, one of a kind design, ready to join your collection.  She can be found in our ebay store connectibles.
