W. Reginald Bray
W. Reginald Bray (1879–1939), also known as "The Autograph King", was an English eccentric who first experimented with the limits of the British postal system, including having himself delivered as a letter, and later moved into autograph collecting, amassing over 15000 by the time of his death.
Bray was born in Forest Hill, London, and lived there until 1938 when he moved to Croydon.[1]
