Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Fall 2022
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 9/20/2022
Regarded as the game’s first major superstar, Fred “Cyclone” Taylor skated for a number of fabled clubs during his iconic HOF career, including the Renfrew Creamery Kings, Ottawa Senators and Vancouver Millionaires. Stories regale of his legendary feats, including once scoring a goal while skating backwards. Taylor would live until 1979, passing away at the age of 94. Featuring the definitive work on Taylor published in 1977, we have a copy of Eric Whitehead’s “Cyclone Taylor: A Hockey Legend” signed by the mythical and cultural icon. Sporting the original dust jacket, the hardcover book has been signed by Taylor in ballpoint on the title page, adding "Hope you enjoy every word this story", with the signature a shaky, late-in-life example. Additional handwritten text is also present on the first page. The book itself exhibits just light wear, with the dust jacket showing minimal wear with toning.
