A little piece of Joan

Crawford, that is. And it's time to get out the credit card.

On December 7, there's an estate sale of personal Joan Crawford items.
Imagine her face when she read this:

Lot 1118
[CRAWFORD, JOAN]
Archive of legal and business correspondence pertaining to What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? Approximately seventeen sheets (a few in photocopy), with a signed contract by Joan Crawford for the use of some Baby Jane footage. Generally good condition.
Infamously, a rift occurred between Bette Davis and Joan Crawford during the making of this film, in which Crawford played the wheelchair-bound Blanche Hudson.
C Estate of Joan Crawford
Estimate $250-350 


There's a lot of fur (mercifully nothing with a head), but I think this is quite stylish. Also, fox, so not quite so guilt-inducing for some reason:

Lot 1163

Length 6 feet 10 inches, width 17 inches.
C Estate of Joan Crawford

But this is the star of the show.
Can't you just see her in a boardroom, stabbing her glossy-nailed finger at it as she asserts her authority?

14 kt., the gold pin centering a detailed Pepsi logo, topped by an accented ruby bottle cap, set throughout with emeralds and diamonds, approximately 11.2 dwt. Length 2 1/8 inches.

Maybe, if you rubbed it three times, she might appear...
