Rare Signature of Aunt Jemima
HARRINGTON, Anna Short (1894-1955). Quaker Oats discovered her at a fair cooking. She had to support five children. Her career as Aunt Jemima began in 1935 and her picture on the pancake box was of her wearing a bandana on her head. Played the role for 14 years. The company first registered the trademark in 1937. In 1938 Aunt Jemima appeared at a pancake supper at St. Martin’s Episcopal Church in Chicago, Illinois. A collector was lucky enough to obtain her autograph at this event. Fine signature, dated “1938” on a portion of an album page. Quite scarce...SOLD
