Things are off to quite a start in 2016 as some auctions hit the stratosphere. Thought I'd note a few of interest here--happy for the sellers and buyers and it's good to know folks are still shelling out big bucks for the right films....This past week, a 1936 17 minute Educational Pictures comedy GAGS AND GALS sold for an amazing $215.77. The print is uncommon and looked very nice, but WOW. It features a graphic artist of the era, Jefferson Machamer and lots of beautiful models.
