Description

The ‘Duke’ and his Fort Apache friends sign on the Santa Fe train

Original Santa Fe Dining Car dinner menu, 5.75 x 9, signed on the reverse in black ink, “John Wayne,” and also signed by four other cast members of Fort Apache: John Agar, George O’Brien, Dick Foran, and Frank McGrath. Signatures were originally acquired on the train from Nevada by Joe Jump, a Los Angeles city surveyor. After acquiring the signatures, Jump then air mailed the menu to his friend in West Plains, Missouri, and the original air mail envelope is included, postmarked September 1, 1947. A few creases, with a vertical one lightly affecting a couple letters in each signature, and some scattered light toning and foxing, otherwise fine condition. PSA/DNA Auction LOA and R&R COA.
