This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 9/20/2022
From the ice surface to the board room. Featuring the three individuals historically most responsible for the success of the Chicago Black Hawks franchise from behind the scenes, we have a trio of signed items from legendary executives James D Norris along with father and son combination Arthur and Bill Wirtz. Included, we have cheques signed by Norris and father Arthur, along with an index card signed by son Bill. Identical in style, the cheques are both Chicago Stadium Corporation specimens drawn on the First National Bank of Chicago, with the Norris cheque dated Nov 9, 1938 and written for the sum of $10.76, while the Wirtz cheque is dated Feb 29, 1940, and written for the sum of $42.08. Both fountain pen signatures display well despite light fading, with light handling wear and toning to the cheques. The index card is the standard 3” x 5”, with Wirtz signing in black ink, adding “HHOF 1976”. The Wirtz signed items have JSA stickers affixed, with an LOA from the company included with the Norris cheque. Addendum; JSA Basic Certs are included for the Bill Wirtz signed index card and the Arthur Wirtz signed personal check.
