Item description for 1936 R95 - RUDOLPH VALENTINO

ITEM DESCRIPTION:
Beautiful 8" X 10" premium photo issued on a linen-textured paper stock, dates to approximately 1936. This auction is for the single premium photo listed in the title and shown in the scan appearing below the detailed grading information.
This is In Memoriam - The Late Rudolph Valentino
ORIGINS - HISTORY:
Not a still, this was a mass produced item during the 1930's and included either with a candy/gum item or more likely as an offering from the New York Daily Mirror. The confusion as to the origin comes from my research which seems to identify them as ACC (American Card Catalog) item R95 (Movie Stars, 8 x 10 linen finish, several series), a Candy or Gum issue--but then somebody else had contacted me with scans of their collection which included a New York Sunday Mirror envelope that his Linen premiums had been delivered in. Interesting, though a little confusing. GRADING - CONDITION:
Grades EX-MT or 7/10 and very nice except for some wear at the top right corner.
