About this Item

Extensive Photo Archive and Expense Account for Swiss Ice Skater Heidi Gustafson nee Pluss--Ice Follies 1957. Archive composed of three 9.5 x 7-inch promotional photos, 63 photos (of various sizes) plus ephemera in photo album/autograph book dated 1946-1957 and 30, 5.75 x 4-inch promotional images. Also includes a 1957 Weekly Expense Account Booklet for Heidi Gustafson as a member of the Ice Follies Ice Show. Generally, in very good condition. Photos in autograph book in photo corners but numerous photos are loose. Small archive for the Swiss National Champion Female Ice Skater for 1949 Heidi Pluss. Pluss also was awarded a Gold Medal from the Swiss Skating Association in 1950. She skated for the Ice Follies in 1953 and 1957 and also taught ice skating. During her 1957 stint with the Ice Follies, she would meet her future husband, American Roger Gustafson whom she would marry the next year, moving to the United States to his home in Illinois. Most of the photos in the photo album/autograph book are signed and inscribed to Heidi, who appears to have been very well liked by her peers. We researched a number of the skaters in these photos and found several who had competed at the World Championship level but most apparently where fellow skaters on tour in the Ice Follies or previous competitors. Quite likely, these photos present a who's who of professional skaters in the 1950's. The weekly expense account book covers the Ice Follies 1957-58 tour beginning in Seattle in June, on to San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver, and Chicago before heading east to Pennsylvania, New York, New Haven, Toronto and Boston, before ending the tour in Minneapolis in April of 1958. We find no hearts scribbled on her expense reports for her stay in Chicago in October 1957, when Heidi Pluss would meet her future husband. A nice collection for anyone interested in the world of professional ice skating.
