WIZARD OF OZ - MUNCHKIN AUTOGRAPHS

by Lorraine Painter
(Hammond, In.)

In 1992 I attended the annual Wizard of Oz Festival held in Chesteron, In. I was a vendor at the fest (selling handmade Oz items) and had the opportunity to attend the Oz Auction. 18 of the original Munchkins were there signing autographs on a purchased 5x7 color photo of themselves. This photo is matted in a brown "folder" on which the autographs are inside. Included are Jerry Maren, Margaret Pellegrini, Meinhardt Raabe, etc. It is in excellent condition. I also have numerous photos taken of the Munchkins at the Festival itself, my favorite being those of me presenting Jerry Maren a "lollipop". I was a vendor at the fest for 5 years running and Jerry received one from me every year.

Sorry I could not include photo but all autographs are authentic. Any idea on worth?

Thank you in advance.
