Description: This is a new / unused Hallmark Keepsake Christmas ornament of the popular Oscar Mayer Wienermobile (released in 2000) autographed by the late Meinhardt Raabe and Jerry Maren. Both Mr. Raabe and Mr. Maren were little men, commonly known as midgets back then, who worked as the famous "Little Oscar" chef spokesmen and traveled the country in the Wienermobiles in the 1950s and 1960s. They made personal appearances and starred in the television commercials for Oscar Mayer meats. Meinhardt Raabe and Jerry Maren autographed the box only in black marker pen (as shown) and Jerry added "Little Oscar" in a square underneath his signature. This was autographed by Meinhardt in 2002 in Florida and Jerry in 2014 in Los Angeles for me, in person. (See photos taken at the time; snapshots not included in the auction.) The auction comes with a rare, high quality 5x7 glossy photographs (shown) of both Meinhardt (color portrait) and Jerry (as Little Oscar greeting children in the 1950s at the Wienermobile in Los Angeles). Note: Jerry Maren began his show business career in 1938 when he portrayed the Lollipop Munchkin in the film classic "The Wizard of Oz." Meinhardt Raabe made his only film appearance of his career as the Munchkin coroner in the same film. Of course, the watermark "screengems" does not appear on the items. Mega-RARE.
