Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Spring 2025
Ideal for framing with a photograph for a formidable display piece, we offer an always desirable signature from Lord Stanley, father of the Stanley Cup and the sport of hockey's most historic figure, with this circa late-1800s small handwritten note. On a 2 3/4" x 5 3/4" piece of off-white period paper, the note in Stanley's hand reads "Private", "The _____ ____ " (illegible) "The Lord Chancellor", signed simply "Stanley". The signature remains especially bold with no fading, with a tiny blemish to the left side that does not affect the integrity of the signature.
