Current mood: busy

Back in August, we did an entry on several Carole Lombard items at auction, including a July 1935 cover shot on the magazine Piccolo (http://carole-and-co.livejournal.com/624568.html), which despite its Italian-sounding name was actually published for Dutch and Belgian readers. Now, here are three more Carole cover appearances on that magazine, including two more from ’35.
We will, however, begin with the Feb. 12, 1933 issue:
Next up, a relaxed Lombard graces the Oct. 13, 1935 issue:
And finally, through superimposing a pic on a seasonal background, a Christmas Carole from Dec. 22, 1935 — her third Piccolo cover in just under five months:
Who did the editors think she was, Jennifer Aniston? (Yes, I’m aware that the very premise of comparing Aniston to Lombard reeks of heresy.)
Bidding on each of these magazines opens at $12, with the auction on all three ending just after 10 p.m. (Eastern) next Sunday.
