What is the value of the Ullman Mfg Co print Hello Papa?

Answer 1

A triple-framed version of artist Alice Lee's illustration "Hello Papa," entitled "Goodnight Papa" (the image says "Hello Papa," but the bottom of the frame says "Goodnight Papa") recently sold at live auction for $130. A single print would probably cost somewhat less; however, the value is dictated by how readily available a particular print is in the marketplace at the time a person decides to buy, how much the buyer wants the print, and whether other potential buyers are also showing interest.

Bear in mind that Ullman Mfg. Co. mass marketed its prints (none are original) through large retailers, so they're not particularly rare or valuable, although some prints are easier to find than others.

In general, Ullman framed lithographs sell for $35-90 in online auctions and on commercial websites, and a little higher, $115-140, at live auctions. Antique stores tend to overprice the merchandise: recent [December 2010] prices recorded from $195 (Swinburne Seascape) to $375 (Priscilla, "Why don't you speak for yourself, John?").

"Hello Papa" is also widely available as a postcard, and sells for an average of $4-6.
