1976 Rudolph Valentino "The Sheik," Statuette
This is a random item from 1976. It is a statuette of Valentino from The Sheik. This is one of 12 movie statuettes created by Raymond Richard Lamb. I appreciate Mr. Lamb for including Valentino in this set, unfortunately the image of Valentino does not resemble him very well. Even still do I want one for my collection.....of course I do. There really should be some medical name for people who collect things pertaining to one person that continually buys everything that can be found, regardless if you think it is attractive or not. I mean, it is a sickness! Haha, more like an addiction, my name is Brad I have a Valentino collectible addiction. Anyway, I still want one!

HAHA!! I just read this post-you are too funny!! This is a funky little item, unusual to be sure. Just the thing for the Valentino junkie who thought he'd seen it all..
ReplyDeleteThanks, I tried not to be hard on Mr. Lamb, just in case he is still around and comes across the blog. But, I mean really? I will keep my mouth shut again hahaha.
ReplyDeleteJust say it- It's tacky and cheesy but some of the best things are, like 80s Hair Bands.
ReplyDeleteWhat I want to know is what your wife thinks about your condition?
You said cheesy not me. She thinks I am a bit on the crazy side, especially when she gets copied on Paypal emails, that come her way, however she does a great job at Christmas hunting down a few goodies for me. She knows the value of some of the things I have, so I think that helps.
ReplyDeleteI wish you put a picture of your valentino room since you mentioned it so much lol
ReplyDeleteoh btw I bet on the Rudolph Valentino bundle, she settled at $150.00 UK I think she was adding something else to the bundle when I read her tweet.
Maybe I can do a collection post, and ask others to send photos of their collection as well. That would be very interesting to post a few photos of others collection as well.
ReplyDeleteSo did you win everything for 150 pounds with shipping included? So that is about $225 in Canadian and US dollars? If so, that is a great price, let me know.
it came up to $390 canadian all together.
ReplyDeleteShe sent me a message that she'll add in the extra souvenir she found, no mention what it was.
Told my co-workers I bought this old book for $300 they're like what ??!?! they just don't understand us fanatics :)
You got a good deal all together, the Daydreams book along is worth more than that.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, this blog is one of the only places I can say what I paid for something and everyone understands! hahaha.
I think the DayDreams book go for give or take $250 alone, I recieved a few song sheets as well they go for easily $75-100 on their own as well. they was a few books like Madame Valentino as well, nothing worth more than $15-20 on their own.
ReplyDeleteI didn't bother even telling people I bought song sheets as I don't play piano to use them lol...it's really prehistoric.
Hi Brad :) I'm Joy and I'm a fellow Valentino addict. Perhaps we should assemble a VA meeting (Valentino Anonymous).....nah, I wouldn't follow the 12 steps anyways *grin* Love your blog!!
ReplyDeleteHey Joy, great to hear from a fellow Valentino addict. We should have a meeting. Actually, a few of us from the blog discussed trying to get together in Hollywood next Spring. Welcome to the blog your comments and input is always welcome here!
