PFAS72c A very rare opportunity to secure this vintage 5.5" x 3" hand signed souvenir of Harry Parrt from an antique autograph book where his signature rests perfectly accompanying his picture in very good condition and this has great character. (on reverse is hand signing from Victor Silvester too - see image 2).
