A few pics worth noting

At last check, there were 1,610 Carole Lombard items up for sale or auction at eBay. Today, we're going to examine four of them. We'll start with a pair of solo portraits:




The first has Lombard in a fur-lined gown, probably from the Paramount years. It's from an archival negative; you can either buy it outright for $34.99 or bid, starting at $17.99; bidding closes at 7:27 p.m. (Eastern) Thursday.

Second, Carole in a black dress, probably from the mid-thirties. You can buy it for $9.99 by going to http://cgi.ebay.com/CAROLE-LOMBARD-1940s-EVENING-DRESS-FASHION-PHOTOGRAPH-/280702219389?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item415b27f47d.

The other two are publicity stills from films Lombard made in 1932. Here she is from Columbia's "No More Orchids," along with Ruthelma Stevens:

Now, a shot to promote Paramount's "Sinners In The Sun":



That's Chester Morris with Carole, clad in a fur coat. You can buy it straight up for $69.99 or make an offer. Visit http://cgi.ebay.com/CAROLE-LOMBARD-fur-coat-1932-LINEN-BACK-Orig-8X10-Photo-/150623550375?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2311dcfba7.

This week's header shows Carole snuggling a very fortunate Siamese cat.
