To many collectors, some of the most fun items to acquire are personal items. Although it's not my personal niche, one of my favorite items is an original Universal Studios Lucille Ball trunk. It was used by Lucy in her travels and stilll has the airline travel tags attached to the handles. Among the other items photographed, is an original Lucille Ball and Gary Morton (her second husband) matchbook and two silver serving plates in different sizes, that are both engraved. Also, an unused Lucy and Desi party invitiation, an engraved Lucy powder compact with puff that still has some of the original talc powder inside. And my favorite, the early 1940s Desi oil painting. Finding personal mementos from this legendary lady isn't easy and always comes with a very high price tag.
