Rawhide Autographs

by Mary Brady

My mother grew up in the town of Tucumcari, New Mexico. At one time, not sure what year, she worked at a local diner as a waitress. During that time a popular show called "Rawhide" filmed just outside of town.

My mother got to go to some of the sets and watch the filming. The crew and actors also ate at the diner where she worked and she got several autographs. Among them are Clint Eastwood, Sheb Wooley, Robert Cabal, Paul Brinegar, Claude Akins, and Don Keefer. There are others but those are the ones I can find online in relation to the show, plus they are mixed in with crew autographs such as drivers and gaffers and such.

They are not in the best condition and most of them are personalized like to Mable. Sheb Wooley wrote "To Mable you sweet chile best wishes Sheb Wooley." And yes he wrote "chile." Clint Eastwood just put his autograph and below it in brackets he wrote "Rowdy".

If you could just give me an idea of value I would very much appreciate it.
