Offers? G H Elliott, "The Original Chocolate Coloured Coon" photoand letter, 1954
Dear Group,
Before trying eBay, I thought I would give the only autograph NG a chance at this rare autographed photo and letter (please note, I am not a regular poster, so please forgive any inappropriateness) G. H. Elliott was a British Music Hall artiste in the 40s and 50s, known as "The Original Chocolate Coloured Coon". In 1954 he stayed at a distant relations hotel in Portsmouth, and forgot to pay for his bottle of beer. The signed photo and letter came with a postal order for the beer. The letter is very genteel and tells the story of the beer :-) Quite comical in itself really. Anyway, photos here : http://www.g8ina.enta.net/ebay/GHElliottLetter1.jpg http://www.g8ina.enta.net/ebay/GHElliottLetter2.jpg http://www.g8ina.enta.net/ebay/GHElliottPhoto.jpg http://www.g8ina.enta.net/ebay/GHElliottPostcard.jpg The postcard is of the Hotel. Offers over the next week please or it goes on eBay. Paypal preferred. -- Best Regards, David Harris Please remove NOSPAM & demunge address to reply :- g8ina((at))NOSPAMblueyonder(dot)co(dot)uk |

This autograph is taken from an old book I acquired and posted. http://www.aoqc42.dsl.pipex.com/hippodrome/hippo7.shtml Would bwe curious as to whether the signature is worth anything. I know he had a long career and died 1962 but suspect he signed loads of things/ PeterL ============================================= Website http://leach01.co.uk Banopticon 2005 http://drwhoni.co.uk Masonic http://tl169.co.uk Jordanstown Schools http://jord.org.uk RMS Majestic History http://rmsmajestic.co.uk |
