One of the legendary Marx brothers (1892–1977) who worked with his brothers on the vaudeville circuit, but left acting when he was drafted into the US Army during World War I. Rare vintage matte-finish 7.5 x 9.5 photo, signed and inscribed in fountain pen “To Old Sawbones from his steadiest patient, Gummo.” In very good condition, with some fading and irregular ink adhesion to signature and inscription, trimmed edges, a few corner creases, and a couple areas of light discoloration. After the war, Gummo, who never liked being on stage, went into the raincoat business, and then formed a theatrical agency with his brother Zeppo. The first signed photo of Gummo we have ever offered. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
