Rare vintage blue fountain pen signature on a 3x5-inch off-white card, acquired in-person by an inveterate autograph hound in the 1950s and decorated with a small magazine image. In good condition, with traces of an inscription which was airbrushed away by some previous owner. Bald, scrawny character actor Philip Coolidge had key roles in a number of classic films, including I Want to Live! (1958), The Tingler (1959) with Vincent Price, North by Northwest (1959), Inherit the Wind (1960), and The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965).
