James Cagney's Personally Owned Set of Cufflinks, Bow Ties & "JC" Tie Bar From The Joe Franklin Memory Lane Collection - This collection of items was personally owned by American actor James Cagney. Cagney was an American actor and dancer, known for his consistently energetic performances, distinctive vocal style, and deadpan comic timing. He won acclaim and major awards for a wide variety of performances, and in 1999, the American Film Institute ranked him eighth among its list of greatest male stars of the Golden Age of Hollywood. Among his many accolades, Cagney was inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1960, awarded the American Film Institute's Life Achievement Award in 1974, received the Kennedy Center Honors in 1980 and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Ronald Reagan in 1984. This lot includes a set of 18k gold plated and mother of pearl cufflinks, lapel pin, tie bar and money clip in the original box, a custom "JC" gold toned tie bar by Swank and (3) bow ties. These items were acquired from the collection of Joe Franklin, 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. These items will come housed in Franklin's original storage envelope notated with handwritten information.
