The fifty, count them, examples of pulchritude were nice and one suspects not as dull as their guardians made them appear…or untalented as their ”acts” denoted. I’m always at a loss what to say to people, especially big bosomed ladies who play the accordion…even well.” Item comes with original estate auction summary to show provenance from the Estate of Vincent Price.
