Description

"I have been traveling, participating in several 'Wizard of Oz' conventions in various parts of the country"

One of the last surviving Munchkin actors from The Wizard of Oz (1915–2010). ALS, one page, 8.5 x 11, illustrated Wizard of Oz letterhead, June 24, 1989. Handwritten letter to an admirer, in part: "Sorry for the delay in answering your letter. I have been traveling, participating in several 'Wizard of Oz' conventions in various parts of the country: Cleveland, Ohio; Chittinango, N.Y. (birthplace of Frank Baum); Holland, Mich. (where the book of the 'Wizard' was written); Grand Rapids, Minn. (birthplace of Judy Garland). Next big one is in Chesterton, Ind., Sept. 15–15. If your schedule would permit it, you would enjoy it." In fine condition.

From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
