Signed Robert Ripley Believe It Or Not Typed Letter SS Rex 1933-35 - $8K APR w/CoA
ITEM DESCRIPTION:
Presented is a fascinating typed letter from the renowned LeRoy Robert Ripley, the American cartoonist, entrepreneur, and amateur anthropologist famed for creating the Ripley's Believe It or Not! series, featuring extraordinary facts from around the world. This letter includes one such fact regarding the record at the time for holding one's breath underwater.
Typed on SS Rex letterhead paper, the SS Rex was an Italian ocean liner launched in 1931, renowned for holding the westbound Blue Riband between 1933 and 1935. Though the letter is not specifically dated, the date stated as “March 15 AT SEA”, its connection to the SS Rex allows us to approximate its date within the years the vessel was in service.
This piece of ephemera holds immense appeal for collectors, offering a captivating glimpse into Ripley's world of curiosities and oddities, alongside a touch of maritime history with the SS Rex association.
