    About the size of a Washington Quarter (1 inch).
    I don't know the weight yet.

    I have never seen any others.

    The guy in the middle, believe it or not, is Humphrey Bogart. The guy on the coach is Alan Hale, Sr.

  • Anyone ever see Bogart's horror film with the rabbit? Or any pics of him during the stage portion of his career? He looks odd with a school sweater with a letter on it and a tennis racket!

    I've always been amazed at the idendical resembalance between Alan Hale Sr.
    and Alan Hale Jr. (The Skipper Gilligans Island) so in Dans defense, Should
    Alan Hale Jr. have been considered a replica and/or had "COPY" tattooed
    on his forhead?.

    I think in this instance the correct term to tattoo on forehead is "CLONE".

    Just watched last night the horror flick with Bogey and the rabbit, "Return of Dr. X". Was before his leading man days.

    Well, it was before John Huston put him in 1941's Maltese Falcon - something the studio was not totally sure about as I understand it. This on top of High Sierra which had given him his first real bad guy role. Bogart had a long career before this as the handsome straight laced guy who doesn't get the girl onstage in NY, and then a long career getting killed by Cagney and the like on the other coast, usually with or by some of the cast of the folks to follow like Barton McClane (who was in Maltese, Treasure, and a few others). Maltese is great, Key Largo is wonderful, but the finest pairing was with Huston's father in Treasure 7 years later. I have some original production stills from Treasure that haven't seen the light of day yet. Also some autographs including John Huston and father Walter.

    Best wishes,
    Eric
