Description

Two items: a vintage glossy 8 x 10 photo of the pioneering executive by the Brookner Studio, signed in blue ballpoint (with typed notation on the reverse indicating that it was received in 1952); and a typed letter signed by Rickey, one page, personal letterhead, January 29, 1965, in part: "I would like to visit with you if I were able to make a trip to Phoenix. I do not travel more than I can decently avoid on account of health and age." In very good to fine condition, with a light bend and light surface impressions touching Rickey's face, light contrast to the signature on the photo, and staple holes and a paperclip impression to the letter. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope for the letter.
