Description

Born Nolan Alfred Rinehart (1911-1948), Cowboy Slim was one of the first of the 'singing cowboys' of the 1930s and 1940s who gained notoriety and national recognition as a broadcaster and singer on the infamous border radio station XEG. Vintage pearl-finish 8 x 10 full-length photo of Cowboy Slim resting next to a horse, signed and inscribed in blue ballpoint, "Best Wishes to Norma Woelp, Cowboy Slim," who also signs on the reverse, "Thanks for the quarter, but the pleasure is all mine, Slim.” In very good to fine condition, with scattered light creasing and crazing, and four pieces of old yellowed tape on the reverse (which obviously once held the mentioned quarter in place). Autographed material of Rinehart is virtually nonexistent, with this being the first we have ever offered.
