Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Winter 2023
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 3/1/2023
The most important signature in any advanced hockey collection, Lord Frederick Arthur Stanley served as Governor General of Canada from 1888 to 1893, at which time he famously donated the Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup – later to be known as the Stanley Cup. We offer a "Fred Stanley" signature cut from the legendary politician. More desirable than the "Derby" signatures that occasionally surface which were penned after Lord Stanley's accession as the 16th Earl of Derby, this fountain pen example is a full "Fred Stanley" signature with additional greeting of "Yours Faithfully". Penned on a small rectangular cut which was mounted to a slightly larger firm stock piece to full dimensions of approx 2 1/4" x 3", the signature is flawless and remains perfectly dark, and is ideal to be mounted with a pleasing image of the iconic hockey benefactor. An LOA from Classic Auctions will accompany.
