This got me curious, so I did some surfing. Gable and Lombard married in 1939, and she was killed in 1942 - so the picture was in October of '39-'41.
While searching, I learned that Lombard had a boyfriend killed in a gun accident. A search of Russ Columbo + death will bring it up. Fascinating.
Murphy, you're old enough to remember when A-1s were available from the factory.
