In fine condition, with a torn punch hole to top left, and a couple small spots of tape toning to inside. Accompanied by a detailed letter of provenance from the original recipient, which reads, in part, “My dad worked for many years in a liquor store about 4 miles from the docks...The week-end of the fiesta was one of the times that Bogie was on his boat…I remember that Bogie was seated in sort of a director’s chair. He had a blanket over his lap, and he never got up…The only paper we had was my boat pass from the parade…After Bogart died, his skipper continued to come to my father’s liquor store. One time he gave my dad the following information: He said that Bogart and he were reminiscing one day in the hospital room. Bogie said that the last autograph he gave to anyone in the public was to 'the little girl who came by that Sunday when we were on the boat.'” Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
