Donnie Dunagan's ID Cards from RKO and Universal
<B>Donnie Dunagan's ID Cards from RKO and Universal Studios.</B></I> Ultra-rare items indeed: These were Donnie Dunagan's studio passes -- an orange-colored pass to RKO Radio Pictures, stamp-dated April 27, 1938 and issued for use during the production of <I>Mother Carey's Chickens,</B></I> and a light green pass to Universal Pictures Co., with typed date 5/12/39 and issued for use during the shooting of <I>Dames</B></I> (the title later changed to <I>The Forgotten Woman</B></I>). Dunagan's name and the film's title are typed on the cards, with the RKO card signed by Nate Levinson and the Universal card by David S. Garber. Each card has a notification on the reverse that it must be presented to the studio cashier at the time employment is terminated. There is residue on the reverse of each card from having been preserved in Dunagan's scrapbook; the front of each card is in Excellent condition. Mind-boggling to think that child actor Dunagan took these cards to work at the studio every day and that they've survived almost seven decades. <I>From the Donnie Dunagan Archive</B></I>.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
