Overall very good condition, a great dealer's lot. From the family of Stanley Berman (1927-1968), a Brooklyn cab driver, actor and the self-proclaimed "World's Greatest Gate-Crasher". No occasion was too exclusive, no dignitary too aloof for Berman, who posed as a waiter to demand Queen Elizabeth II's autograph during her 1957 visit, crashed JFK's Inaugural Ball in 1961, and had his finest moment in 1962 when he charged onstage to hand Bob Hope an Oscar in front of 100 million TV watchers. In addition, Berman used his people skills to get close to the likes of Harry S. Truman, prominent governors, and international politicians as well. Try getting away with that now! These lots (1596-1652) are consigned to us directly from Berman's estate and provide a wonderful, comprehensive look into Berman's "people skills!" $500 - 600
