Basil Rathbone's

. . . where you may find a treasure chest full of Basil Rathbone memorabilia

Many people who've visited this Basil Rathbone website have e-mailed me asking if I know where they can buy Rathbone's movies on video or DVD, records Rathbone made, Basil Rathbone's autograph, etc. I've also received e-mails from Rathbone fans who have something to sell. So, I decided it might be a good idea to have a page where YOU, the Rathbone fan, can advertise what you would like to buy or sell.

Buyers List Sellers List Other Sources

Here's how it works:

  • Simply e-mail me with a description of the item you wish to acquire or sell. You may advertise for anything that is Basil Rathbone-related. Please make sure that "Collector's Corner" is in the subject line of your e-mail.

  • I will post your description right here on this page, together with your e-mail address. (Please let me know if you do not want your name to be used.)

  • Interested buyers or sellers will e-mail you, and negotiate directly with you. I will not be involved.

  • E-mail me when you have concluded a deal, so I can remove the "ad" from this page.

  11. Does anyone have a recording - tape/record/CD/minidisk/mp3/computer (anything!) version of Basil Rathbone reciting Oscar Wilde's 3 short stories, "The selfish giant", "The happy prince" and "The nightingale and the rose"? I had it once - my dad bought it and it really touched me so I since bought Wilde literature, but it was Rathbone's voice that made it so powerful. I can get other speakers doing it, but I want Rathbone only. The record I had was green with an animated giant on the front (unlike the pic in this site's discography which is also in contrast called "The happy prince"). My album was called "The selfish giant".
