	Veronica Cartwright (Violet Rutherford)	Richard Deacon (Lumpy's Father)	(Text reads: "Dear Phyllis [Richard Deacons's Ex-Wfie]". In full: "We've known each other for so many years and in so many wonderful areas that I feel I must write you as a friend for information. Last week two or three people said, 'see you at Phylis's - I gathered you were having a party, now nowhere is it written that every time a friend entertains that every friend is invited - nor does one more party mean much to me. but when I'm told that you had 100 of your best friends it makes me wonder whats (sic) wrong. Did I offend you or did Jane? We have always been honest with each other and I truly hope you will be with me now. If I have erred I welcome the opportunity to correct it. Hope this is a great year for you and yours love". Diller's reply, unsigned, 1984 January 17. Begins: "Dear Richard". In full: "I meant to have a small party. Then Howard gave me HIS list and it got all out of hand. How could you ever think you'd offended your former wife?* No way! Love*" Richard Deacon (Lumpy's Father)

Prices:

Autographs from the main characters, Jerry Mathers, Tony Dow, and Ken Osmond, are cheap and plentiful. I've seen them go from $10 - $30.

Barbara Billingsley varies a bit more. I've seen her autographs in the $15 - $40 range. Get yours soon while you can.

Hugh Beaumont's autograph is rare, and since he died in 1982, there probably isn't many available. I've also heard of someone paying $1,200 for a sign contract by Hugh Beaumont on a document of personal legal matter re: 1955 earnings. This document was sold through an auction dealer.

Furthermore, Hugh wasn't into the Hollywood scene, so he didn't freely give out his autograph. Hugh gave a few autographs to people close to him, and not much else. I know that Jerry Mathers, Tony Dow, and Barbara Billingsley do have Hugh's autograph, which they cherish. Also, all of Hugh's kids and grandkids have their own original copies of Hugh's autograph, which they also keep.

Likewise, I haven't seen many autographs for sale from others in the LITB cast, such as Lumpy or Whitey. I presume there hasn't been enough demand to create a market for their autographs.
