Welcome to the Hollywood & Vinyl web page!  Thanks for stopping by.

I want to share with you the Richard Cresswell collection of autographs and signed candid photographs of the Hollywood pantheon circa 1940's. My uncle collected approximately 1500 autographs and took about 300 candid photos which he was able to get signed. Not only did he live in L. A., but also he was cast several times in pictures such as "Humoresque".

After his death in 1991, my siblings and I inherited this amazing collection. Sadly we must start the unpleasant task of locating an organization or individual willing to purchase the collection as a whole. We feel that the collection uniquely reflects the history of that time and the immense investment of time that true fans of that era would expend idolizing the Stars.  Please see the Hollywood page for more information.

My own collecting (surely it cannot be genetic) involves vinyl records and includes some autographed material.  Information about these can be found on the Vinyl page.

Here are a few examples from my collection: (These are all autographed!)
