WALTER WINCHELL
The columnist and broadcaster writes a $250 check for cash.
Check signed: "Walter Winchell", 8¼x3¼. New York, N. Y.,
1939 May 5. Check #6348, drawn on his account at the Irving Trust Company,
payable to cash for $250.00. The "father of the newspaper gossip column",
which he pioneered in the 1920s, Walter Winchell (1897-1972)
created such phrases as "scram", "pushover" and "belly laughs". He also was a
familiar voice on radio from 1929 through the mid-1950s, punctuating his
staccato delivery with the sound of teletype keys. Winchell later narrated
the television series, The Untouchables (1959-1963). The 2013
equivalent of $250 in 1939 would be over $4,000. Perforation marks. Toned,
creased from folds. Otherwise, fine condition.
