Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction October 2016
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/9/2016
An interesting grouping of NHL documents and contracts are available here for your collecting interests, with a number signed by HOFer Tommy Ivan, along with an example signed by fellow HOFer William Wirtz. We have three “Loan Agreements”, with examples for HOFer Harry Lumley along with Denis DeJordy and Dave Dryden, all signed by Ivan. Next, we have a pair of “Standard Assignment Agreements” for Ralph Backstrom and Louis Angotti, with the Angotti example again signed by Ivan. Lastly, there’s a nice package featuring Gilles Marotte that includes his 1967 Standard Contract signed by both Wirtz and Clarence Campbell, along with a document on Black Hawks letterhead signed by Ivan, a letter addressed to Ivan from Marotte, and the original Black Hawks mailing envelope. An LOA from Classic will accompany.
The three “Loan Agreements” are all roughly 8 ½” x 9”, and they all feature perfect Ivan signatures, with the Dejordy example from 1961, the Lumley from 1956 and the Dryden agreement from 1966. The “Standard Assignment Agreements” are 8 ½” x 11”, with the Angotti example from 1966, while the agreement featuring Ralph Backstrom originates from 1973. The Marotte collection also features beautiful Campbell and Wirtz signatures on his “Standard Contract”. Most of the documents in this lot all remain in excellent condition, with expected wear commensurate with their former use. The Black Hawks envelope exhibits heavier wear, with some toning and light staining.
