Curly Joe Howard Personal Gold Money Clip Jerome Lester "Jerry" Horwitz was born in 1902. We all know him better as Curly Howard, without a doubt the most beloved of the Three Stooges. If anything. he alone personified the Stooges forever with his iconic "Nyuk-Nyuk-Nyuk", his barking like a dog, his high pitched voice (especially his trademark: "sortinely"!), and his sideways spin. His brothers Moe and Shemp also became a part of the threesome at various times, as well as the non-brother, Larry Fine. Curly was known for his almost insane generosity. In private life, he was well known for pulling out his famous "almost solid gold" personalized money clip, and peeling off bills to those in need, or to give generous tips. This money clip became part of his legend, and friends and fans were known to shout: "Hey Curly, did you remember your clip?!" This is that one-of-a-kind rare piece of beloved Curly Joe Howard Memorabilia. First in the collection of his brother Shemp Howard's wife, Babe Howard, and then in the hands of one of the top Three Stooges collectors, this clip comes with a myriad of documentation, including a hand-written letter from Babe Howard, a Letter of Provenience from Dan Lange, the mega-Stooge expert and collector and last owner of the clip, and letter from Jill Howard, granddaughter of Babe Howard authenticating her grandmother's letter. The gold clip has "CURLY HOWARD" engraved on it with the easily recognizable "postmark" engraved on the upper right hand corner. The clip also comes from an extremely rare original family album photograph of Curly with his gather, Solomon Horwitz who Curly adored, and always said gave him his "addiction to generosity". (Gold clip approx 2"x 1', photo 8"x10").
