Original Vaudeville Photograph Collection

by Jennifer
(Mesa, Arizona)

The photograph collection I have is an heirloom, that was passed on from my great, great grandmother, Gertrude Bambrick through my family to me.

I have about thirty 8 x 10 original photographs. Most have the photography studio stamp on the back of the photos. They are in good condition considering how old they are. I believe they are from the early 1900s through 1920s. Some are autographed.

Some of the autographs are: Al Jolsen, Eddie Cantor, Gertrude Bambrick, Julia Nielsen, Paul Ash, Charlie Chaplin (photo of him very young no costume), Lester Allen, and Connie Boswell.

I am looking to sell the photographs as a collection. If anyone has any idea what these photographs may be worth, please let me know. Also any ideas on how to sell them. I will scan all the photographs and post a few later this week. Thanks for your help.

Any Luck

Wondering if Jennifer had any luck with photos. I'm in a very similar position. Mine passed down from my great grandmother, Nellie Bone... most are from very early 1900's.

Thanks,
Alice

If your photos have a studio stamp on the back, they could be valuable if they are the work of a noted photographer. It is beyond the scope of this site to estimate those values. Search the Internet for vintage photograph sites.

Regardless of the value of the photos themselves, if you have authentic autographs, you have some valuable ones. A good Charlie Chaplin signed photo is worth $1000+. An Al Jolsen signed photo is worth $750+. Eddie Cantor is worth $150+ on a photo.

Send scans in a new post if you can find the time.
