Uncommon 8x10-inch color portrait as Charlie Bucket in the beloved cautionary tale Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971), boldly signed in black felt-tip marker in-person at a film convention appearance about 15 years ago. In very condition. The film was Ostrum's first and last:  After his promising performance as the earnest, impoverished Golden Ticket-winner, he was offered a three-year acting contract, but turned it down to pursue a career as a large animal veterinarian.  Autographed material in any format is difficult to come by.
