Gene Autry Signed Framed Picture w/Lasso + DeLuxe Ed. Country Music Songs 1938

Description: This is a rare picture of Gene Autry with a coiled lasso. he is kneeling and showing off a pair of expensive hand-made boots. His shirt is decorated in a movie-western tradition; he is wearing a Stetson and has an elaborate leather belt with what looks like conchos. Yes, it is signed "Gene Autry," but I have no way of knowing if a mass-produced signature counts. The picture has no words or advertising on it, so it was not the front or back of a magazine. The wood frame measures 12 x 9.5 inches. The glass has no cracks. The picture itself measures 10.25 x 7.25 inches. There is a small water stain on the blue background on the right side about halfway up. This is obviously an old picture, but I have no way of authenticating the Gene Autry signature--if it was mass-produced, does it still count? Here Autry is a handsome guy with all that western movie regalia that was popular many years ago. I have not been able to find this picture of him with the lasso on eBay, so it may be rather rare. Please ask questions; I do not want to deceive anyone.... You also get a song book with Autry's songs: "Gene Autry DeLuxe Edition of Famous Original Country songs & Mountain Ballads." Songs include over 85 hits including Ridin' Down the Canyon, Sing Me a Song of the Saddle, Don't Waste Your Tears on Me, Little Ranch House on the Old Circle "B," Guns and Guitar. Published by M. M. Cole Publishing Co., Chicago Copyright 1938. Price 75 cents.Book has some great black-and-white Gene Autry photos scattered throughout. Very nice pen and ink drawings and decorations. The book is over 80 years old, and it is not in pristine condition. The cover has come loose and someone repaired it long ago...and the pages show yellowing. However all the information and the words and the music are crisp and clear and readily accessible. Feel free to ask questions, particularly if you are looking for some specific song. Please ask questions about that signature. Help me determine if it is mass-produced. Perhaps we can work out a lower shipping rate if you happen to live close to the Twin Cities in Minnesota. I'll have to wrap this very carefully to stabilize the package so the glass does not get broken. Talk to me. Yes, you can make a reasonable offer! I would prefer to ship this via Priority USPS so we can get both tracking and insurance. Any of my other listings catch your eye? Often if we combine items we can save significantly on shipping. Thank you for the interest.
