Celebrating the 90th anniversary of the Montecito Inn and honoring the current owners, the D. Copus family of Montecito, California, Kaminski Auctions was honored to be part of a gala preview event to view the historic collection of Charlie Chaplin original theatrical poster art that has hung in the Montecito Inn since the early 1900’s. These rare images of Hollywood's golden era are on offer in the Kaminski Thanksgiving Auction.
