President Dwight D. Eisenhower, and car maker Henry Ford, carries a pre-sale estimate of $6,000-8,000. But Julien said he thought the book could fetch five times that much at the November 22-23 auction. “These people came to Pickfair and when Mary traveled she would take the book with her to get autographed. Those books are probably the most valuable and rare autograph books that I’ve ever seen come up for auction,” Julien told Reuters. He said that in 2006, a collection of 20 love letters written by Fairbanks to Pickford were sold for almost $30,000. Dinnerware from parties thrown by the Hollywood couple for royalty and the leading minds of the times are also up for sale along with paintings that once graced the walls of Pickfair, as well as furniture, photos and jewelry.
