This item is from the private collection of Eddie Foy III. Eddie Foy III is the grandson of the legendary Eddie Foy, Sr., Early 20
th
century Actor/Performer who was the father of the “Seven Little Foys” of Vaudeville and movie fame. Eddie Foy III is also the son of Eddie Foy, Jr. (naturally), world famous television and movie actor. Eddie Foy III made a name for himself, first as an actor in such pictures as “Run Silent, Run Deep”, and then went on to become what many have called one of the most successful casting director to ever work in Television and Motion Pictures, being named by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences as the most influential casting director in the history of television. His enormous list of shows he has worked with include the likes of “Barney Miller”, "M.A.S.H.", "The Monkees", "Hill Street Blues" and “Mork and Mindy”, and has been the discoverer of such talents as Robin Williams and Sally Field (Who he cast as ‘Gidget’).

Eddie is also an AVID boxing fan and collector! He was very dear friends with World Boxing Hall Of Fame Boxer Billy Graham and rubbed elbows with some of the top names to ever grace the squared circle. He has hosted many events for the World Boxing Hall of Fame, sitting on their board of directors
.
Some of the items in Eddie’s collection are EXTREMELY rare, some even unique, based simply on who he is, what he has accomplished and where he has been. Even if you don’t know him, chances are you have come across his body of work at some time in your life. Above all else though, Eddie is one of the nicest guys you could ever meet (He’s a friend of mine, I should know). He genuinely cares for the pieces in his collection, but understands you can’t hang on to things forever, so he has commissioned me (A friend from church in the ‘picking’ business) to pass on his treasures so others can enjoy them.
