CLARK GABLE SIGNED OPERATOR'S LICENSE 1929 An 'Operator's License' issued by the State of New York Bureau of Motor Vehicles that Clark Gable filled out in his own hand using black fountain pen ink. Dated May 10, 1929 when the actor was just twenty-eight years old, he penned in all his vital stastics including his name, his address of 140 East 81 - Apt 11-B/New York, N.Y. , his date of birth of Feb 1, 1901 , his color of White , his sex of Male , his weight of 185 lbs. , his height of 6 ft. 1 in. , his color of eyes of Hazel and his color of hair of Brown , finishing with his bold signature on the bottom middle of the form. A bonus is the still-attached 'Operator's Renewal Stub' form which Gable also completed in his own hand -- it was supposed to be perforated when he applied for a license the following year in 1930, but apparently he never did. Also included are 4 vintage print black and white photographs of Gable standing in front of various cars he owned, with one having a purple ink stamp on the verso reading Kindly Credit-Photo By/Clarence Sinclair Bull/Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer . 4 x 8 inches
