GUEST: Back in, uh, 1943, my dad was in the 95th Infantry Division.

They did some, uh, desert training, and he had a Saturday off.

They went to the Universal Studios, and, uh, sat down, and all these different movie stars went through, saw that they were military personnel, and offered to sign, sign the menu.

APPRAISER: I personally, I just love old menus.

That's something I used to collect, because I think they're kind of fun.

When you start looking at the prices on stuff, it makes you want to cry, obviously.

But the other cool thing about this, because it is wartime, we have the flags up here.

And one of my favorite things is the daily specials.

On Monday, it's "Let's Buy Bonds."

And on Tuesday, "Are You Buying War Bonds?"

(laughs) And on Wednesday... You can imagine, this continues.

GUEST: Yeah.

APPRAISER: Which, there's obviously quite an effort... GUEST: Yep.

APPRAISER: ...to, um, buy war bonds to support the troops.

Now, during the war, Hollywood, that was one of the ways they supported.

They had the Hollywood Canteen.

APPRAISER: They would invite soldiers.

And what's interesting to me about this is, for a long time, Universal commissary allowed people from the public to come in and eat.

GUEST: Right.

APPRAISER: And it was called "Dine With the Stars."

GUEST: Right, right.

APPRAISER: So they advertised, you could come in, but they actually stopped that.

They probably opened it up just for service members.

Probably, yeah.

And this is from November 13, 1943.

GUEST: Right.

APPRAISER: And it's signed by a whole host of famous people.

GUEST: It is.

APPRAISER: I think the highlight on the front is probably Donald O'Connor, but the back of it is actually my favorite, uh, because we have a huge, beautiful Olivia de Havilland signature.

We have a really nice Bette Davis, Janet Gaynor.

So you have some of these leading ladies, which, I'm sure for him at the time, about to ship out, would've been... GUEST: Right.

APPRAISER: ...quite a highlight.

The fold marks don't matter.

I think everybody folded these up and put 'em in their pocket, and you have it nicely framed.

At auction, it's about a $600 to $800 menu.

GUEST: Okay, great.

Thank you very much.
