Humphrey Bogart: Personalized Dressing Room Key in Shadow Box Presentation. Humphrey Bogart (1899-1957) easily in the top five leading men during the Golden Age of Hollywood having starred in so many classics including CASABLANCA, TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT, THE BIG SLEEP and many more. Offered is a great presentation piece for the Bogart fan. A vintage brass dressing room key fob engraved "H. Bogart 8 A" with "Fox International, Lot 4 Hollywood, CA." on verso with a well worn cord and key ring. Key fob was carefully removed from ring on cord so could be mounted flat in a presentation shadow box. We have noted cheap and shiny imitations of star's dressing room fobs. However we tracked two of these vintage original fobs in auctions past (including this one) and one pictured on actress Illena Douglas' Instagram account. Key fob is complimented with sepia tinted restrike photo from HIGH SIERRA enhanced by a stamped Bogart signature plus a name plaque all presented in a professionally custom shadow box 19 x 18". Estimated Value $250 - UP
