Nelson Riddle, Ink Spots Autographs

by Kathy
(St Catharines Ontario Canada)

My father managed a hotel and dining room in the late 50's early 60's called the Hacienda Hotel in San Pedro, California. There was a fashion show held there by Lewis' and a number of celebrities attended. He got autographs from different people, and each one signed the invitation card to the fashion show. I am trying to get a rough idea of the value of these.

The signatures are the following:

Lloyd Bridges
Nelson Riddle
Jayne Meadows
The Ink Spots - each one signed.
Pancho Sengolos (not sure of spelling of last name did it how it sounds)

Any direction or insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Kathy

Autographs

Here are the approximate values of the autographs at retail:
Lloyd Bridges - $30
Nelson Riddle: $25
Jayne Meadows: $10
Pancho Sengolos: I don't know who this is.
The Ink Spots: $100 - $150

The values for Ink Spots autographs are going to vary depending on the line-up that signed. This is a nice set of autographs to have regardless of who was in the group at the time.

The Nelson Riddle autograph is another good one. Riddle worked with show business legends like Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Peggy Lee,, Johny Mathis, Judy Garland, Peggy Lee, Johnny Mathis, Rosemary Clooney and Nat King Cole. But it is the theme song to the Batman TV series and Route 66 that attract collectors today. Collectors build entire collections around Batman, and Route 66 has its share of fans who collect everything they can. The autograph could be worth more if the right person sees it.

The autographs are worth more if they can be cleanly cut from the other autographs and print, for framing.
