Scarce vintage pearl-finish 6 x 8 photo of McNear early into his career, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, "Always the best, for my friend, Alberto, Sincerely, Howard McNear.” Lower portion signed in white ink by a Sykes Studio photographer. In fine condition, with trimmed edges, and a thin stain along the bottom edge. McNear remains elusive across all signed formats, and photos signed by him are virtually nonexistent. This particularly early example shows the actor decades before his memorable stint as chatty barber Floyd Lawson on The Andy Griffith Show—just the 2nd signed photo of McNear we have ever offered.
