Vintage fountain pen signatures of five circa 1930s-40s sideshow performers—Daisy and Harry Doll ('brother & sister midgets'), Rasmus Nielsen ('tattooed man'), Fred Fisher ('8´ 4″ tall'), and Percy Pape ('thin man—weighs 63 lbs')—on both sides of a beige 6 x 4.25 album page, annotated by a collector to describe the performers, dated along the bottom edge: "'Battle of the Sexes,' 4-14-42." In very fine condition. Daisy and Harry Doll, billed as Harry Earles and Daisy Earles, appeared in Tod Browning's 1932 cult classic Freaks; they were also members of The Munchkins in the 1939 MGM film The Wizard of Oz.
