Post, Wiley and others. Wiley Post and Racing Pilot Autographs. 1933. Five autographs on a contemporary shipping tag, including Post, and aviators Arthur Goebel, Ken Hunter, Jean Larue, and Mary Owens. Obtained by the former owner on meeting Wiley Post and Will Rogers at the Curtiss Wright Airport in Glenview, IL, in 1933. Accompanied by a later photograph of the Winnie Mae, and a two-page LOA from the former owner, describing the circumstances of her meeting with Post, and how she personally obtained the autographs when Post landed the plane (accompanied by Will Rogers) at the airfield where she worked. According to the former owner, Will Rogers demurred when asked for his autograph, instead signing her coveralls, which she confesses she was so proud of, she ?wore them to a frazzle.? Post set multiple flight records and circled the globe in the Winnie Mae, which is now on exhibit in the Smithsonian.
