CHEERS (T.V. SERIES 1982-1993) - Nicholas Colasanto's Framed Geronimo Print - Nicholas Colasanto's framed Geronimo print from the production of Glen and Les Charles' and James Burrows' television series Cheers. A print of Geronimo, the famed Ndendahe Apache icon, hung in Colasanto's dressing room throughout Seasons 1 through 3 as he portrayed Sam Malone's (Ted Danson) former baseball coach "Coach" Ernie Pantusso. After Colasanto died, Sam put the print up on the wall of the bar's set, where it hung until the series finale, when he straightened it in Colasanto's honor.

The scene was later honored in the series finale of Ted Lasso when bar owner Mae (Annette Badland) straightened her own copy of the Geronimo print in homage to Cheers' monumental cultural impact.

This sepia-toned print of a landmark 1885 photograph of Geronimo holding a rifle features a historical statement in its top right corner. It comes mounted behind glass in a wood frame stamped "075.00" on the reverse and drilled with holes in each corner for mounting to the set. The print exhibits discoloration, a horizontal fold line, and creasing at center, as well as lifting from the frame visible on the reverse. Dimensions: 16.75" x 21" x 0.75" (42.75 cm x 53.5 cm x 2 cm)

Estimate: $3,000 - 6,000
