A real treat for the vintage collector, presented here is a set of two (2) individual one-page applications for membership to the American Federation of Radio Artists (AFTRA), filled out and signed in the hands of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. Measuring 6 1/2" x 8 1/2" each, each document has been beautifully hand signed and filled in by Abbott or Costello, with the legendary entertainers adding their contact information on their respective documents. Dated February 16, 1939, these documents represent the first step to mass media (Radio and Television) by this legendary comic duo. Prior to these documents, Abbott & Costello had been touring the burlesque circuit. Additionally, shortly after filling out these AFTRA applications, the duo would land their first movie contract. LOAs from Global Authentication and PSA/DNA.
