Two beautifully framed and matted illustrated letter envelops in the style of C. M. Russell, each postmarked “Los Angeles, Calif.”, both dated 1940; frame approximately 25” x 20” overall. The top envelop is addressed “To the Pair of Patient Sufferers/Homer Britzman and his Wife Helen/6630 Iris Drive, Hollywood, California” and shows an original watercolor sketch of Father Time and in the upper left corner of the envelop is the “return address”: “Some visitors don’t seem to know that I exist!!!!”. The second envelop shows an extensive watercolor sketch of a man in a cowboy outfit blowing smoke from a pipe at a fleeing subject with a Drug Store drawing in the background. In the smoke is written “That Britzman Super Flit ‘Tobacco’ mixture” and the “address” reads: Con Price/Radio Announcer and Tobacco connoisseur/Gilroy/Santa Clara County/California. Con Price was a friend and sometimes business partner of Charlie Russell; he was a cowboy and wrote a book entitled Memories of Montana. Homer Britzman
