TOO MUCH MONKEY BUSINESS: The Elvis Forum

Hello,

Inch by inch i'm getting to the bottom from the box. I stumbled on the following photos (souvenir?)
On most of the small ones are having fanclub stamps on the back (see scan)

Perhaps can Ger tell us more about souvenir photos?
i'm curious about the ones with inscribed Elvis Presley on front.

Greetz and ENJOY!

Questions, questions!
I only know a little on the subject...Back in the 50s thru mailorder in
Hollywood gossip and Teen magazines fans could buy a ton of snapshots
for almost nothing. Further more Parker's office supplied freebies to fanclubs
to be passed on to their members. The fanclubs also had their own wallet
sized photos made that were given away with getting a subscription to
the fanclub newsletters.
The 8x10s ( thin paper prints) cost 5 or 10 cents, and were made available
by companies, mostly situated in Hollywood. They advertised these in the
back of countless magazine titles at the time.

You mean these Ger? 8x10inch.
There were 4 of in the box and i found them also in the book Elvis Memorabilia from Sean O'Neal

There are a lot of goodies hidden at your place Columbo!
Some very rare pictures to my young eyes!

Thanks a lot!

From the fan club...8 June 1956

Here's another beauty i recently found.
It's a 11x14" souvenir photo.

The photo with Parker is scanned from the 4 Days In '56 book.


ENJOY!
