Lot #120: Scarce Vintage 1940s Canadian Broadcasting Memorabilia -- "Jane Gray's Scrap Book"

Undated. (1940s?). "Jane Gray's Scrap Book" is a rare piece of Canadian broadcasting memorabilia associated with Elsie Gray (1896–1984), who performed under the professional name "Jane Gray". Known as "Radio's First Lady," Gray was a pioneering broadcaster whose career spanned over five decades, starting in 1924. The "Scrap Book" was a promotional or commemorative publication linked to her popular daily radio programs, most notably on CHML in Hamilton, Ontario, during the 1940s and 1950s. These booklets contained a blend of poetry and inspirational quotes, reflecting the intimate, "advice-and-comfort" style of her shows. This book was distributed as a listener premium or sold in limited quantities by the station. A highly collectible example of broadcasting ephemera, early Canadian media history, and Hamilton history. Pickup category timeslot {A}
