Description

"DeMille buys a $5,000 mink coat"

Personal check, 7 x 3, filled out in another hand and signed by DeMille, “Cecil B. DeMille,” payable to The Broadway for $4936.35, April 21, 1952. The memo field notes that this was for the purchase of a “Mink Coat.” In fine condition, with expected bank stamps and cancellation holes, and a small area of discoloration to lower edge. Quite an impressive shopping trip, with DeMille spending the equivalent of about $40,000 in today’s dollars. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
