Blood and Sand Stamped Signature

This is a fan photo from the film, Blood and Sand. These photos which can be found from many of Valentino's films, such as The Sheik, Blood and Sand, The Ealge, and even The Hooded Falcon, all have the same stamped signature. These are commonly mistaken for authentic autographs, as did I when I first received one as a gift. The most common trait that each of these photos have is the dented "a" in Valentino, this is a indication that the photo has a stamped signature. I have seen people try to trace these with blue or green markers to appear real; however, they are not, be cautious. Even though they are not authentic they are still from the 20's and some of these were actually sent out by Valentino himself. With that being said they are still fairly desirable, just not overly valuable. Don't think you can sell one of these and go buy a new car, more like a nice dinner, well, a semi-nice dinner.

1955 Disneyland Stamped Signature Photo

This is a profile photograph with a stamped signature. The photo is stamped on the back, 1955 Disneyland, rights belonging to "Show Business." This may have possibly been a gift shop or a promotional photograph for some sort of newsletter. I find it unique to find a Valentino item that is marked Disneyland.

James Abbe Studio Photograph with Stamped Signature

This is a Studio Photograph of Valentino from the famous photographer, James Abbe. He also took the profile photo of Valentino and Natacha, that appeared on the Madam Valentino book by Michael Morris. This photograph also has a stamped signature in green. I bought this photo hoping it was a real autograph, but no luck, it is a stamp that someone has wrote over in places. This is still a fantasic origianl studio photo, an original Abbe at that!

Stamped Signature Photo with Envelope

This is one of the many stamped autographed photos that were sent out to fans for a 25 cent fee. This particular photo has the original envelope, which is not easy to find. There are many different photos that were sent out to fans with a stamped signature. This one is my favorite pose. These are commonly mistaken for real autographs, so be careful these are only stamped signatures.

Stamped Signature Photo from The Hooded Falcon

This is a very rare stamped autographed photo. There were many stamped signature photos sent out to fans for a 25 cent fee. However, this is a photo from The Hooded Falcon, which was a film about the Moors that was never finished. There are very few stills of the movie in exsistance. I was surprised to see this stamped signature fanmail photo. Very rare and very valuable.
