Henny Youngman's Stage Used Violin W/Carrying Case & Publicity Photos From The Joe Franklin Memory Lane Collection W/LOA - This violin was personally owned and stage used by American comedian and violinist, Henny Youngman. Youngman was a stand-up comedian known as "the king of one-liners", and his career spanned nearly seven decades in show business. The wooden violin will come in a hard carrying case, along with (25) personal publicity photos of Youngman. The violin was acquired from the collection of Joe Franklin, the legendary American radio and television host personality, author and actor, whose show featured famous guests such as Andy Warhol, Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Salvador Dali, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, and countless others. Franklin had a love of collecting mementos and memorabilia from his guests, and would ask each guest to leave him a personal item, many of which would oblige. The violin will be accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Franklin.
