Indenture Between the Mayor Alderman and Commonalty of the City of New York and Benjamin Moore, February 12, 1750, New York City, transferring ownership of "Water Lott 13" in the East River. The vellum document is two pages, 29.5" x 24", signed by New York Mayor Edward Holland and affixed with a paper royal seal of New York. The document is in excellent condition. This is a "water grant", the title to land then under water. This grant, and others like it, was purchased by Peter Schermerhorn a wealthy a ship owner and merchant. Ultimately, he sank bulkheads in the East River and filled them with landfill brought in by horse drawn carts. When the land was solid enough, he began the construction of mercantile warehouses and piers. Soon, trade was conducted from the East River shore of Manhattan to the four corners of the world. Because the East River is not a river but an extension of Long Island Sound, the water around their piers was deep enough to accommodate heavily laden clipper ships. Whalers and packets arrived at the wharves of Schermerhorn Row, as did boatloads of coffee, tea, molasses, and immigrants. Ships would off load cargo from afar and sail out again with the products grown or manufactured by the newly independent nation. Very interesting and researchable!

Early Oil Derrick Photo Group. Series of eight sepia photographic prints, 5" x 7.5", showing an oil drilling operation at the turn of the last century. There are three close-up images of a primitive derrick and the steam engine which powered it; three panoramic views of a flood plain in which a derrick is visible; and, two panoramic shots of the same flood plain in which no oil rigs are present. It is likely that these shots were taken in South Texas. There might be enough visual evidence here for the serious oil historian to identify the location. A rare and unusual set of historic photographs.

Political
1864-Dated Anti-Copperhead Horatio Seymour Political Broadside. We have never seen this distinctive item before. It compares Horatio Seymour, then New York governor and later 1868 presidential candidate, to notorious Revolutionary War turncoat Benedict Arnold. Likens charges made by Seymour against the Lincoln Administration, point by point, to those leveled by Arnold against Washington and the Continental Congress in 1780. The author consigns the Copperhead dissidents to the same fate as the Tories of the Revolutionary War period. This 1864-dated broadside is considered a Lincoln re-election item, and is one of the most interesting of its genre that we have encountered. Minor light age spotting and a trivial margin tear must be noted, but do not detract. 10" x 12.5".
Greely & Brown Lithographs After Brady Photographs, 9" x 12", respectively published by J. C. McCurdy and John Dainty, both of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Although Horace Greeley and Benjamin Gratz Brown made a formidable team, the former's election year death left the presidential field wide open for U. S. Grant.

Both prints are aged and lightly stained with the Seymour portrait having slight marginal chipping. Overall fine condition. Seymour, who was close to being a Copperhead during the Civil War, stood no chance in his presidential contest with Grant despite having a respected Union major-general for a running mate.
1872 Greeley & Brown Jugate Sheet Music. Two pages, 10" x 13" each, framed and matted under glass to an overall size of 26" x 17.5", published by J.L. Peters, New York, 1872, in fine condition. The cover has beautifully detailed portraits of Liberal Republican presidential candidate Horace Greeley and running mate Benjamin Gratz Brown. Above them an American eagle rests on two crossed American flags. The songs are "Greeley & Brown's Galop [sic] to the White House," "Greeley's Grand March," "Greeley's Favorite Polka," "Good Bye Ulysses, or We're Falling into Line," "The Farmer Goes Chopping on His Way," and "He Always Wears an Old White Hat." Greeley was dealt a crushing defeat in the election. Greeley's troubles did not end with the election. Shortly after his defeat his wife died, he was defrauded in a diamond and gemstone hoax, he lost control of the New York Tribune, and, his spirit broken, he died. 1872 was just not Horace Greeley's year.

1880's Baseball Occupational Shaving Mug. For those unfamiliar with the term, the "occupational shaving mug" is an artifact unique to the late 19th and early 20th century, when it was common for gentlemen to get their shaves at the local barber. Each patron had his own shaving mug, which was left at the barbershop on a shelf and used only when he would visit the establishment. Very often the patrons would pay an artist to have his name and an image of his profession handpainted on the side of the mug, and these mugs have become very popular with collectors of Americana for the simple, charming look they offer into the former owners' daily lives. Among the scarcest and most desirable of all occupational mugs is the baseball theme, which is presented here in a simply perfect manner. The period details of the early game are more than most collectors of such pieces would have dared to dream, from the gloveless fielders, to the striped caps and socks to the early grandstands visible in the distance. A degree of wear to the gold paint at top and bottom has obscured the ornate calligraphy that spells the patron's name, but the baseball game painting itself has been mercifully spared and remains in NRMT condition. Otherwise the mug shows no chipping or cracking, and presents beautifully. Maker's mark on underside of mug is impossible to discern. Measures 4" in height.

Charles Duryea Signature and Ransom E. Olds Autograph Document Signed. This lot features two signatures from leading men in the automotive industry, Charles Duryea and Ransom E. Olds. The first item is a small slip of paper, signed " Chas. E. Duryea." Duryea was an American inventor and manufacturer.

Together they founded the Duryea Motor Wagon Co. in Springfield Mass. This pioneer of automobiles as we know them today signed this 4.5" x 1" slip of paper, which was clipped from a check. The slip is in fine condition with only slight foxing on the lower right corner. The signature is bold and dark.
Ransom E. Olds was also a pioneer in the automotive industry. He claimed to have built a steam-powered automobile as early as 1894.

Olds signed this 12.75" x 8.5" stock certificate in 1916. It is printed and signed on both sides by various individuals. The certificate is printed on REO Motor Car Company Letterhead, and is signed at the bottom of the front page by Olds as, "R.E. Olds."

Philippe II, Duke of Orléans, Document Signed "Philippe D'Orléans", one page, 6.5" x 8.75", in French, September 7, 1717, n.p. Philippe II, Duke of Orléans, (1674-1723) was Regent of France from 1715 to 1723. On the death of his uncle, Louis XIV, the late king's five-year-old great-grandson was crowned king Louis XV of France. The Duke of Orléans went to the parliament, had the will annulled, and himself invested with absolute power, and the then forty-one-year-old Philippe became Regent. On the majority of the king, which was declared on February 15, 1723, the Duke of Orleans resigned the supreme power; but he became first minister to the king, and remained in office till his death. Philippe had great qualities, both brilliant and solid, which were spoilt by an excessive taste for pleasure. His dissolute manners found many imitators, and the regency was one of the most corrupt periods in French history. Philippe was a professed atheist who boasted to read the satirical works of François Rabelais inside a Bible binding during mass, and liked to hold orgies even on religious high holidays. He acted in plays of Molière and Racine, composed an opera, and was a gifted painter and engraver. Despite his atheism, Philippe favored the Jansenists against the decrees of the Pope. He was a great collector of art, and his collection of paintings, mostly sold in London after the Revolution, was one of the finest ever assembled. The city of New Orleans, Louisiana is named after him. Excellent condition.

During her second exile, from 1848 to the end of her life, she lived at Claremont, Surrey in England. A small tear above the signature, otherwise, very fine.

In 1810 he was about to enter upon his new post of governor of Rome when he was, unexpectedly, elected heir to King Charles XIII of Sweden. Charles XIII adopted Bernadotte under the name of "Charles John" (Carl Johan). The new crown prince was very soon the most popular and the most powerful man in Sweden. The government, and especially the control of foreign affairs were entirely in his hands. The keynote of his whole policy was the acquisition of Norway.

His legacy has traditionally been viewed in three ways: an ineffectual ruler whose mistakes led directly to the Thirty Years' War; a great patron of Renaissance art; and a devotee of occult arts and learning which helped seed the scientific revolution. Astronomy and alchemy were mainstream science in the Renaissance Prague and Rudolf was a firm devotee of both. His lifelong quest was to find the Philosophers Stone and Rudolf spared no expense in bringing Europe's best alchemists to court. Rudolf even performed his own experiments in a private alchemy laboratory. He died in 1612, nine months after he was stripped of all effective power by his younger brother, leaving only the empty title of Holy Roman Emperor. Missing the seal and repaired but otherwise fine.

He assumed the title King of Italy to become the first king of a united Italy, a title he held until his death in 1878. Victor Emmanuel joined Britain and France in the war against Russia, in an effort to obtain their good will. He sought British support and the help of France's Napoleon III in a campaign against Austria in 1858 that he hoped would lead to Italian unification. After military reverses, Piedmont only gained Lombardy. Victor Emmanuel persisted. He sent his forces to fight the papal army at Castelfidardo and drove the Pope into Vatican City. Victor Emmanuel II's success at these goals got him excommunicated from the Catholic Church. Then, plebiscites in Naples and Sicily called for union with Sardinia-Piedmont and Italy grew even larger.

Louis XVIII of France Document Signed "Louis Stanislas Xavier" as heir presumptive, one page, 9.5" x 11.25", in French, August, 1778, Versailles. Louis (1755-1824) was the fourth son of Louis-Ferdinand, the Dauphin of France. At birth, he received the title of Comte de Provence, but after the death of his two elder brothers and the accession of his remaining elder brother as Louis XVI of France in 1774, he became heir presumptive and was generally known as Monsieur, the traditional title of the eldest brother of the King. The later birth of two sons to Louis XVI left him third in line to the throne of France. In the wake of the French Revolution and his brother's unsuccessful flight to Varennes, the Comte de Provence fled France in 1791. He was living in exile in Westphalia when King Louis XVI was guillotined in 1793. On the king's death, the Comte de Provence declared himself regent for his nephew Louis XVII, although the boy never actually reigned. On the 10-year-old king's death in prison on June 8, 1795, the Comte de Provence proclaimed himself King Louis XVIII. In the years that followed, Louis moved all over Europe, living for a time in Russia, before he settled in England. By this time, the conquests and success of Napoleon, who had established himself as Emperor of the French, made any Bourbon restoration seem unlikely. However, in 1814, following the defeat of Napoleon, Louis XVIII was finally able to secure the French throne thanks to the support of the Allied Powers. Trimmed and with repairs, otherwise, fine.

When McDonald confronted him, Oswald said, "Well, it's all over now." But as McDonald tried to search and cuff him, Oswald stood and punched the officer right between the eyes. The blow so was powerful it knocked McDonald's hat off his head. Oswald then used his right hand to shove a gun into the officer's stomach. Just as Oswald pulled the trigger, McDonald jammed his hand into the firing mechanism. The gun's hammer snapped against the flesh of his hand, but the bullet didn't fire.

Author Irving S. Cobb Signature on card 5.5" x 2.5", mounted on stiff card stock with a brief biographical sketch. Cobb (1876-1944) was an American author, humorist, and columnist who lived in New York and wrote over 60 books and 300 short stories. Cobb covered World War I for the Saturday Evening Post, and wrote a book in 1915 about his experiences called Paths of Glory. Cobb has been described as "having a round shape, bushy eyebrows, full lips, and a triple chin. He always had a cigar in his mouth."
Author Dale Carnegie Signature on card 5.5" x 2.25", mounted on stiff card stock with a brief biographical sketch, with inscription "May you always have fair winds and sunny skies". Carnegie (1888-1955) was an American writer and the developer of famous courses in self-improvement, salesmanship, corporate training, public speaking and interpersonal skills. Born in poverty on a farm in Missouri, he was the author of How to Win Friends and Influence People, first published in 1936, a massive bestseller that remains popular today. Very fine.
Paul W. Gallico Author of Lou Gehrig: Pride of the YankeesSignature in full on card 5.5" x 2.25", mounted on stiff card stock with a brief biographical sketch. Gallico (1897-1976) was a successful U.S. novelist and short story writer. Many of his works were adapted for motion pictures. He is perhaps best remembered for the story The Snow Goose, which was his only real critical success, and for his novel The Poseidon Adventure, primarily because it has been made into several films, particularly the generally well-received 1972 version. Gallico's career was launched by an interview with boxer Jack Dempsey in which he asked Dempsey to spar with him, and described how it felt to be knocked out by the heavyweight champion. He followed up with accounts of catching Dizzy Dean's fastball and golfing with Bobby Jones. He became a national celebrity and one of the highest-paid sportswriters in America. He founded the Golden Gloves amateur boxing competition. His 1942 book, Lou Gehrig: Pride of the Yankees was adapted into a classic sports movie. He wrote 41 books and numerous short stories, twenty theatrical movies, twelve TV movies, and a television series. Very fine.
Authors Christopher Morley and Felix Morley Signatures on cards, 5.5" x 2.5", both mounted on stiff card stock with a brief biographical sketch, "Best wishes & forgive brevity. Hard at work - yours, Christopher Morley" and Felix Morley included a short poem. Christopher Morley (1890-1957) was an American journalist, novelist, and poet. He was one of the founders and long-time staff member of the Saturday Review of Literature. A highly gregarious man, he was the mainstay of what he dubbed the "Three Hours for Lunch Club". Out of enthusiasm for the Sherlock Holmes stories, he became the founder of the Baker Street Irregulars and wrote the introduction to the standard omnibus edition of The Complete Sherlock Holmes. In 1936 he was appointed to revise and enlarge Bartlett's Familiar Quotations. He was the author of more than 50 books of poetry and novels; and, Felix Morley (1894-1982), brother of Christopher Morley, was editor of the Washington Post, won a Pulitzer Prize, and was president of Haverford College. Very fine.
Author Erle Stanley Gardner Signature on card 5.5" x 2.5", mounted on stiff card stock with a brief biographical sketch and photos. Gardner (1889-1970) was an American lawyer and author of detective stories. Innovative and restless in his nature, he was frankly bored by the routine of legal practice, the only part of which he enjoyed was trial work and the development of trial strategy. In his spare time, he began to write for the Pulp magazines. He created many different series characters for the pulps, including a crusading lawyer who was the archetype of his most successful creation: the fictional lawyer and crime-solver Perry Mason, about whom he wrote more than eighty novels. With the success of Perry Mason he gradually reduced his contributions to the pulp magazines, eventually withdrawing from the medium entirely, except for non-fiction articles on travel, Western history, and forensic science. Gardner also devoted thousands of hours to a project called "The Court of Last Resort", which he undertook with his many friends in the forensic, legal and investigative communities. The project sought to review and, if appropriate, to reverse, miscarriages of justice against possibly innocent criminal defendants who were convicted owing to poor original legal representation and/or to the inadequate, careless or malicious actions of police and prosecutors and most especially, with regard to the abuse or misinterpretation of medical and other forensic evidence. Very fine.
Roger Babson Signature on card 4.5" x 2", mounted on stiff card stock with a brief biographical sketch. Babson (1875 -1967) is remembered today largely for founding Babson College in Massachusetts, was an entrepreneur and business theorist in the first half of the 20th Century. He was the Prohibition Party's candidate for President of the United States in 1940. Very fine.
Engineer Vannevar Bush Signature on card 5.5" x 2", mounted on stiff card stock with a brief biographical sketch. Bush (1890-1974) was an American engineer and science administrator, known for his work on analog computing, his political role in the development of the atomic bomb, and the idea of the memex-seen as a pioneering concept for the World Wide Web. A leading figure in the development of the military-industrial complex and the military funding of science in the United States, Bush was a prominent policymaker and public intellectual ("the patron saint of American science") during World War II and the ensuing Cold War. Through his public career, Bush was a proponent of democratic technocracy and of the centrality of technological innovation and entrepreneurship for both economic and geopolitical security. In 1922, Bush and his college roommate, Laurence K. Marshall, set up the American Appliance Company to market a device called the S-tube. This was a gaseous rectifier invented by C. G. Smith that greatly improved the efficiency of radios. Bush made a lot of money from the venture. Eventually the name was changed to Raytheon, an electronics giant and defense contractor. Very fine.
Leader of the Platoon That Raised the Flag on Mount Suribachi, H. G. Schrier Signature "H. G. Schrier/ Captain, US Marine Corps." 5.5" x 2.5", mounted on stiff card stock to an over size of 8" x 11", with a print of Schrier's platoon posed around the flag, a brief biographical sketch and a postage stamp depicting the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima. Schrier, then a lieutenant, led his forty man platoon to the top of Mount Suribachi to raise the flag on Iwo Jima. He later went on to serve with distinction in Korea.
Edgar A. Guest Signature clipped, mounted on stiff card stock with a brief biographical sketch. Guest (1881-1959) was a prolific American poet popular in the first half of the 20th century. Beginning at the Detroit Free Press as a reporter, he later began writing daily poems which were syndicated to newspapers throughout the U.S. For forty years, his poems were generally simple and positive and written about everyday life. From his first published verse in the Detroit Free Press in 1898 until his death in 1959, he penned some 15,000 poems which were syndicated in over 200 newspapers and reprinted in several books such as A Heap o' Livin' (1916) and Just Folks (1917). His popularity led to a weekly Detroit radio show which he hosted from 1931 until 1942 and, in 1951, a network (NBC) television show. Very fine.
Socialist Norman Thomas Signature on card 5.5" x 2.25", mounted on stiff card stock with a brief biographical sketch and an inscription "From Norman Thomas whose political wisdom is obviously not contagious". Thomas (1884- 1968) was a leading American socialist, pacifist, and six-time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America. The son of a Presbyterian minister, Thomas was born and raised in Marion, Ohio, and graduated from Marion High School. As a primary school age child, Thomas was a paper carrier for Warren G. Harding's Marion Daily Star. Thomas later attended and graduated from Princeton University in 1905. In 1926, Thomas became the Socialist standard-bearer and was the party's Presidential nominee in every election from 1928 to 1948. As an articulate and engaging spokesman for democratic socialism, Thomas' influence was considerably greater than that of the typical perennial candidate. Although socialism was viewed as an unsavory form of political thought by most middle-class Americans, the well-educated Thomas -- who often wore three-piece suits -- looked like and talked like a president and gained grudging admiration. Very fine.
Lot of Five Signatures of Military and Literary Interest, including: General Walter Bedell "Beetle" Smith (1895- 1961) was Dwight D. Eisenhower's Chief of Staff during Eisenhower's tenure at SHAEF and Director of the CIA from 1950 to 1953. He also served as U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union from 1946 to 1949. Smith had a reputation as a brusque manager, peppered with salty speech, and was often referred to as Eisenhower's "hatchet man". For instance, when Gen. George S. Patton needed to be disciplined, Smith was ordered to deliver the bad news; Charles A. Beard (1874-1948) was the most influential American historian of the early twentieth century. He published hundreds of monographs, textbooks and interpretive studies in both history and political science. As a leader of the "Progressive School" of historiography, he introduced themes of economic self-interest and economic conflict regarding the adoption of the Constitution and the transformations caused by the Civil War. Thus he emphasized the long-term conflict among industrialists in the Northeast, farmers in the Midwest, and planters in the South that he saw as the cause of the Civil War; George H. Dern (1872-1936) was a Democratic American politician who served as Governor of Utah from 1925 to 1933. He supported Roosevelt's campaign for President in 1932 and was rewarded with the position of U.S. Secretary of War. Dern died while still in office. He was the grandfather of actor Bruce Dern and the great-grandfather of actress Laura Dern; Lloyd C. Douglas (1877- 1951) was a noteworthy American minister and author. Douglas was one of the most popular American authors of his time, although he didn't write his first novel until he retired from the pulpit at fifty years old. His written works had a distinctly religious tone. His first novel, Magnificent Obsession, published in 1929, was an immediate and sensational success. Douglas then wrote Forgive Us Our Trespasses; Precious Jeopardy; Green Light; White Banners; Disputed Passage; Doctor Hudson's Secret Journal; The Robe, and The Big Fisherman. The Robe sold more than 2 million copies, without any reprint edition; John Drinkwater (1882-1937) was an English poet and dramatist. In the period immediately before the First World War, he was one of the group of poets associated with the Gloucestershire village of Dymock. In 1918, he scored his first major success with his play, Abraham Lincoln. He followed it up with other plays in a similar vein, including Mary Stuart and Oliver Cromwell. Although he had been active with the Dymock poets, it was not until 1923 that he published his first collection of poetry. He progressed into literary criticism, and later became manager of Birmingham Repertory Theatre. Very fine.
Lot of Five Signatures Literary Interest, including:Achmed Abdullah (1881 - 1945), a pseudonym of Alexander Nicholayevitch Romanoff, was a Russian-born writer. He is most noted for his pulp stories of crime, mystery and adventure. He wrote screenplays for some successful films. He was the author of the progressive Chinese drama Chang, an Academy Award nominated film made in 1927. He earned an Academy Award nomination for collaborating on the screenplay to the 1935 film The Lives of a Bengal Lancer; Meredith Nicholson (1866-1947) was a best-selling Indiana author and politician. He initially worked for newspapers in Indianapolis. He wrote Short Flights in 1891, and continued to publish extensively, both poetry and prose until 1928. Nicholson entered Democratic party politics in 1928. He served for two years as a city councilman in Indianapolis. He served as Ambassador to Paraguay, Venezuela, and Nicaragua; Arthur Train (1875-1945) a practicing attorney turned author. He wrote a series of books featuring the character, Ephraim Tutt, an irascible Vermont lawyer; Charles Sheldon (1857-1946) was an American minister in the Congregational churches and leader of the Social Gospel movement. He became an advocate of the late nineteenth century stream of thought known as Christian Socialism. His theological outlook focused on the practicalities of the moral life. In the 1880s Sheldon developed a series of sermons with the unifying theme posing the question, "what would Jesus do?" when facing moral decisions. The theme of the sermons was later fictionalized into the novel In His Steps; Michael Arlen (1895-1956), born Dikran Kouyoumdjian, was an Armenian essayist, short story writer, novelist, playwright, and scriptwriter, who had his greatest successes in the 1920s while living and writing in England. Although Arlen is most famous for his satirical romances set in English smart society, he also wrote gothic horror nd psychological thrillers, for instance "The Gentleman from America," which was filmed in 1956 as a television episode for Alfred Hitchcock's TV series Alfred Hitchcock Presents. The Green Hat, published in 1924, was the book that would launch Arlen's fame and fortune. The Green Hat was turned into a play, starring Tallulah Bankhead,and a Hollywood movie in 1928, starring Greta Garbo. Because The Green Hat was considered provocative in the United States, the movie was not allowed to make any references to it and was therefore dubbed A Woman of Affairs. After the publication of The Green Hat, Arlen became almost instantly famous, rich, and like celebrities today, incessantly in the spotlight and newspapers. During this period of his fame, the mid-1920s, Arlen frequently travelled to the United States and worked on plays and films. In 1927, Arlen, joined D. H. Lawrence n Florence, where Lawrence was working on Lady Chatterly's Lover, for which Arlen served as a model for Michaelis. Very fine.
Arthur Rubinstein Signature on card 6.25" x 3.5". Rubinstein (1887-1982) was a Polish pianist who is widely considered as one of the greatest piano virtuosos of the 20th Century. He received international acclaim for his performances of Chopin and Brahms and his championing of Spanish music. Aside from his early and singular fascination with the piano, another interesting childhood trait is that Rubinstein didn't begin speaking until some time around the age of three. Until the time that he developed speech, Rubinstein would entertain his family by imitating non-speech sounds. During World War II, Rubinstein lived in the United States and became a naturalized citizen in 1946. He refused to play in post-war Germany because of the Nazi extermination of members of his family. He retired from the stage in 1976, as his eyesight and hearing were rapidly deteriorating. He became almost blind in later life. Rubinstein was fluent in eight languages. Rubinstein's photographic memory of much of the repertoire, not simply that of the piano, was formidable. Very fine.
Bruno Walter Signature on card 5.5" x 1.5", mounted on stiff card stock with a brief biographical sketch. Walter (1876-1962) was a German-born conductor and composer. He was born in Berlin, but moved to several countries between 1933 and 1939, finally settling in the United States in 1939. In 1933, when the Nazi party began to bar his musical appointments in Germany, Walter left for Austria. Austria would remain the main center of activity for the next several years, although he was also made guest appearances such as in annual concerts with the New York Philharmonic from 1932 to 1936. When Hitler annexed Austria in 1938, France offered Walter citizenship, which he accepted; however, in November 1, 1939, he eventually set sail for the United States, which became his permanent home. Beverly Hills remained Walter's residence for many years, and his many expatriate neighbors include the German writer Thomas Mann. During his years in the United States, Walter worked with many famous American orchestras. Of great interest are recordings from the 1950s of his rehearsals of Mozart, Mahler, and Brahms, which give insight into his musical priorities and into the warm and non-tyrannical manner (as contrasted with some of his colleagues) with which he related to orchestras. Very fine.
Frederick Martin (Fritz) Reiner Signature on card 5.5" x 2", mounted on stiff card stock with a brief biographical sketch. Reiner (1888-1963) was one of the great international conductors of opera and symphonic music in the 20th century. Reiner pursued the study of piano, piano pedagogy, and composition at the Franz Liszt Academy. During his last two years there his piano teacher was the young Béla Bartók. After early engagements at opera houses in Budapest and Dresden (where he worked closely with Richard Strauss) he moved to the United States of America in 1922 to take the post of Principal Conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. He remained until 1931, having become a naturalized citizen in 1928, then began to teach at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where his pupils included Leonard Bernstein and Lukas Foss. Very fine.
Walter Damrosch Signature clipped, 4" x 1.5", mounted on stiff card stock with a brief biographical sketch. Damrosch (1862-1950) was an American symphony conductor. Damrosch was best known as a conductor of Richard Wagner. He was also a pioneer in the performance of music on the radio, and as such became one of the chief popularizers of classical music in the United States. Though he is now remembered almost exclusively as a conductor, before his radio broadcasts he was equally well-known as a composer. Damrosch went on to compose operas based on stories such as Cyrano de Bergerac (1913) and The Man Without a Country (1937). Those operas are very seldom performed now. His Wagner recordings are still widely available. Very fine.
Sergei Koussevitzky Signature on card 5.5" x 2.5", mounted on stiff card stock with a brief biographical sketch. Koussevitzky (1874- 1951) was a Russian-born conductor, composer, and double-bassist best known for his long tenure as music director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra from 1924 to 1949. He was appointed conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 1924, beginning a golden era for the ensemble that would continue until 1949. Over the next twenty-five years, he continued building the ensemble's reputation as a leading American orchestra, and developing its summer concert and educational programs at Tanglewood. With the Boston Symphony he made numerous recordings, some of which are available on compact disc. Most of his recordings have been well-regarded by critics. His students and protégés included Leonard Bernstein and Sarah Caldwell. Bernstein guest conducted the Boston Symphony, including the 1951 world premiere of Charles Ives' second symphony. Ironically, Bernstein's very last concert, in August 1990, was with the Boston Symphony at Tanglewood. Very fine.
Virgil Thomson Signature on card 5.5" x 2", mounted on stiff card stock with a brief biographical sketch. Thomson (1896-1989) was an American composer from Missouri, whose rural background gave a sense of place in his compositions. He established himself in New York City, as a peer of Aaron Copland and was also a music critic for the New York Herald-Tribune from 1940 through 1954. His writings on music are noted for their wit and their independent judgments. In the 1930s, he worked as a theatre and film composer. He won the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 1949 with his film score for Louisiana Story. Very fine.
Theodore Roosevelt Signature on White House card 4" x 2.75", mounted on stiff card stock. Roosevelt (1858 -1919) was the 26th President of the United States, and a leader of the Republican Party and of the Progressive Movement. He served in many roles including Governor of New York, historian, naturalist, explorer, author, and soldier. Roosevelt is most famous for his personality: his energy, his vast range of interests and achievements, his model of masculinity, and his "cowboy" persona. Very fine.
Robert A. Taft Signature on card 5" x 1.5", mounted on stiff card stock with a brief biographical sketch. Taft (1889-1953), of the Taft political family of Ohio, was a Republican United States Senator and as a prominent conservative spokesman was the leading opponent of the New Deal in the Senate from 1939 to 1953. He led the successful effort by the Conservative coalition to curb the power of labor unions. He failed in his quest to win the Presidential nomination of the Republican Party in 1940, 1948 and 1952. Very fine.
Lot of Three Signatures of Literary Interest, including: Louis Bromfield (1896 -1956) was an American who became internationally renowned both as a prize-winning author and as an innovative conservationist and scientific farmer. He was a friend with some of the most celebrated personalities of his era. Malabar Farm near Lucas, Ohio, was Bromfield's home from 1939 until his death in 1956. It was the location for the wedding of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, and draws thousands of visitors each year. After serving with the American Field Service in World War I and being awarded the Croix de Guerre and the Legion of Honor, he returned to New York City as a reporter. In 1924, his first novel, The Green Bay Tree, won instant acclaim. Two years later, he won the Pulitzer Prize for Early Autumn. Of his 30 books, many, such as The Rains Came and Mrs. Parkington, were made into successful motion pictures; Marquis James (1891- 1955) was an American journalist and author. He served in the First World War, in France, 1917-1919. He worked on the staff at the American Legion Monthly from 1923 to 1932.

He achieved broad popular success and considerable critical respect, though there were critics who harshly attacked him. In addition to his well-known Mr. Moto spy series, he wrote a succession of meditative and satirical novels on America's upper class and those who aspired to join it. All are on cards mounted on stiff card stock with a brief biographical sketch. All very fine.
Rex Stout Signature on card 5.5" x 2", mounted on stiff card stock with a brief biographical sketch. Stout (1886-1975) was an American writer best known as the creator of the larger-than-life fictional detective Nero Wolfe. Stout started his literary career in the 1910s writing for the pulps, publishing romance, adventure, and some borderline detective stories. He sold articles and stories to a variety of magazines, and became a full-time writer in 1927. Stout lost the money he had made as a businessman in 1929. In Paris in 1929 he wrote his first book, How Like a God, an unusual psychological story written in the second person. After he returned to the U.S. Stout turned to writing detective fiction. The first was Fer-de-Lance, which introduced Nero Wolfe and his assistant Archie Goodwin. Stout continued writing the Wolfe series -- at least one adventure per year -- until his death in 1975. Very fine.
Trygve Halvdan Lie Signature on United States and Norwegian stamps affixed to a card 3" x 6", mounted on stiff card stock with a brief biographical sketch. Lie (1896-1968) was a Norwegian politician. From 1946 to 1952 he was the first proper Secretary-General of the United Nations. He worked as a legal consultant from 1922 and was subsequently elected to the Storting (Norway's Parliament). He was appointed Minister of Justice when a Labour Party government was formed in 1935. Lie was later named Minister of Trade and Industries and Minister of Supply and Shipping. An early admirer of the October Revolution in Russia, Lie once met Vladimir Lenin and gave permission for Leon Trotsky to settle in Norway after he was exiled from the Soviet Union. Lie later ordered Trotsky to leave Norway when Trotsky violated his promise to refrain from political activity. In 1940, when Norway was invaded by Germany, Lie ordered all Norwegian ships to sail to Allied ports. Lie was named as Foreign Minister of the Norwegian government-in-exile. Lie led the Norwegian delegation to the United Nations conference in San Francisco in 1946 and was a leader in drafting the provisions of the United Nations Security Council. He was the leader of the Norwegian delegation to the United Nations general assembly in 1946. He was elected as the first Secretary General of the United Nations as a result of a compromise between the major powers, having only missed being elected President of the first General Assembly by a small margin. Very fine.
Lee De Forest Signature on card 5" x 2", mounted on stiff card stock. De Forest (1873-1961) was an American inventor with over 300 patents to his credit. De Forest invented the Audion, a vacuum tube that takes relatively weak electrical signals and amplifies them. De Forest is one of the fathers of the "electronic age", as the Audion helped to usher in the widespread use of electronics. He was involved in several patent lawsuits and he spent a fortune from his inventions on the legal bills. He had four marriages and several failed companies, he was defrauded by business partners, and he was once indicted for mail fraud, but was later acquitted. Very fine.
Captain Eddie Rickenbacker Signature on card 3.75" x 2.5", mounted on stiff card stock. Rickenbacker (1890-1973) was best known as a World War I fighter ace and Medal of Honor recipient. He was also a race car driver and automotive designer, a government consultant in military matters and a pioneer in air transportation. During his lifetime, Rickenbacker worked with many influential civilian and military leaders. He had keen insight into technology, and vision for future improvements. Among other events, he participated in or observed Armistice Day on the Western Front and the Hindenburg explosion. Very fine.
WWI Medal of Honor Winner Alvin York Signature "Sgt Alvin C. York". 5.75" x 2", bold ink signature mounted on stiff paper stock, in fine condition. Sgt. York won his Medal of Honor for capturing a German machine gun nest, killing 25 German soldiers and capturing another 132.
J. Edgar Hoover Signature on card 4.5" x 1.5", mounted on stiff card stock. Hoover (1895-1972) was an influential but controversial director of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). He was the founder of the present form of the agency, and remained director for 49 years until his death in 1972, at age 77 Hoover's leadership spanned eight presidential administrations, encompassed Prohibition, the Great Depression, World War II, the Korean War, the Cold War, and Vietnam. During this time the United States moved from a rural nation with strong isolationist tendencies to an urbanized superpower. Very fine.
Lot of Four Signatures of Literary and Radio Interest, including: Sinclair Lewis (1885-1951) was an American novelist and playwright. In 1930 he became the first American to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, "for his vigorous and graphic art of description and his ability to create, with wit and humour, new types of characters". His works are known for their insightful and critical views of American society and capitalist values. His style is at times droll, satirical, yet sympathetic. He began his writing career by producing romantic poetry, then followed with romantic stories about knights and fair ladies. Lewis's first published book appeared in 1912 under the pseudonym Tom Graham. By 1921 he had six novels published. Lewis was known for giving strong characterization to modern working women and for his concern with race. Some of his most famous books were Main Street and Babbitt. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1926 - which he rejected - for Arrowsmith, a novel about an idealistic doctor. Elmer Gantry was the story of an opportunistic evangelist, if not an outright charlatan; it was banned in Boston and other U.S. cities; Main Street, Babbitt, Kingsblood Royal, and Cass Timberlane all were banned in their turn. Alcohol played a dominant role in his life; he died of advanced alcoholism in Rome; Gene Fowler (1890-1960) was an American journalist, author and dramatist. After a year at the University of Colorado, he took a job with The Denver Post. His assignments included an interview with frontiersman and Wild West Show promoter Buffalo Bill Cody. He established his trademark impertinence by questioning Cody about his many love affairs. Subsequently, Fowler worked for the New York Daily Mirror, and then became newspaper syndication manager for King Features. His later work included over a dozen screenplays, mostly written in the 1930s, and a number of books including biographies and memoirs. During his years in Hollywood, Fowler became close to such celebrities as John Barrymore and W.C. Fields. (Fields, whose animus toward children is legendary, claimed that Gene Fowler's sons were the only children he could stand.) Fowler wrote a biography of Barrymore, Good Night, Sweet Prince (1944); Gabriel Heatter (1890-1972) was an American radio commentator whose World War II-era sign-on ("There's good news tonight") became both his catchphrase and his caricature. He also gave the self-help group Alcoholics Anonymous its first national exposure with a 1939 broadcast, and earned an unusual reputation---even in a less media-driven and cynical time---for morale boosting during some of the nation's most arduous days. Few if any broadcast newsmen, in any era, have ever received such a fan letter as this: "Thank God for Gabriel Heatter, who makes it possible for us to sleep at night."; H. V. Kaltenborn (1878-1965) was an American radio commentator. He was heard regularly on the radio for over 30 years, beginning with CBS in 1928. He was known for his highly precise diction, his ability to ad lib and his depth of knowledge of world affairs. Kaltenborn, who became a CBS Radio Network analyst in 1936, was known as a commentator who never read from a script. His "talks" were extemporaneous, created from notes he had previously written. He broadcast twice a week and paid his own travel expenses in Europe; most of his income came from American lectures. His analysis was welcomed into homes especially during World War II and the time leading up to America's entry into it. He had an international reputation and was able to speak intelligently about events because he had interviewed many of those involved. From the contacts he developed in his travels and his ability to speak fluent German and French, Kaltenborn seemed chosen for the role he developed at CBS. During the Munich crisis in September 1938, much of what listeners heard was Kaltenborn speaking without scripts even after sometimes having been up for most of a night covering the breaking news. Some claimed that when Kaltenborn was awakened during the Munich vigil, one merely had to utter "Munich" and Kaltenborn could talk for hours on the subject. Kaltenborn virtually lived at CBS's New York headquarters during the crisis, resting on a cot in Studio 9 during the rare times he was not broadcasting. Kaltenborn had very specific views about radio's role in presenting the news. Later in life he wrote on the subject through many of his books. All on cards, mounted on stiff card stock with a brief biographical sketch. Very fine.
Ernie Pyle and Geraldine S. Pyle Signatures clipped, mounted on stiff card stock with a brief biographical sketch of Ernie Pyle. Pyle (1900-1945) was an American journalist who wrote as a roving correspondent for the Scripps Howard newspaper chain from 1935 until his death in 1945. His articles, about the out-of-the-way places he visited and the people who lived there, were told in a folksy style much like a personal letter to a friend. He enjoyed a loyal following in as many as 200 newspapers. In the mid- to late-1930s, Pyle wandered around the country in his car, writing columns about the unusual places and people he met in his ramblings. Select columns were later compiled and published in Home Country. With the entry of the U.S. into World War II, Pyle became a war correspondent, applying his intimate style to the war. Instead of the movements of armies or the activities of generals, Pyle generally wrote from the perspective of the common soldier, an approach that won him not only further popularity but also the Pulitzer Prize in 1944. His wartime writings are preserved in three books, Brave Men, Here is Your War, and Ernie Pyle in England. On April 18, 1945 Pyle died on Ie Shima, an island off Okinawa Honto, as the result of machine gun fire from an enemy sniper position. Very fine.
Lot of Four Signatures of Radio Commentators, on cards, mounted with a brief biographical sketch, including: Drew Pearson (1897-1969) one of the most prominent American newspaper and radio journalists of his day. He was best known for his muckraking syndicated newspaper column "Washington Merry-Go-Round"; Walter Winchell (1897- 1972), an American newspaper and radio commentator, invented the gossip column at the New York Evening Graphic. He broke the journalistic taboo against exposing the private lives of public figures, permanently altering the shape of journalism and celebrity; Grantland Rice (1880-1954) an early 20th century American sportswriter best-known as being the writer who dubbed the great backfield of the Notre Dame team of 1924 the "Four Horsemen" of Notre Dame, a Biblical reference to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse; Lowell Thomas (1892-1981) an American writer, broadcaster, and traveller, best known as the man who made Lawrence of Arabia famous. During the 1920s, he was a magazine editor. In 1930, he became a broadcaster with the CBS radio network. After two years, he switched to the NBC radio network but returned to CBS in 1947. He hosted the first-ever television-news broadcast in 1930 and the first regularly scheduled news broadcast on television in 1940. His signature sign-on was "Good evening, everybody" and his sign-off "So long, until tomorrow." He authored fifty-six volumes.Very fine.
Author Damon Runyan Signature, with inscription "Better Late Than Never", on card 5.25" x 2", mounted on stiff card stock with a brief biographical sketch. Runyan (1884-1946) was a newspaperman and writer best known for his short stories celebrating the world of Broadway in New York City that grew out of the Prohibition era. He spun tales of gamblers, petty thieves, actors and gangsters; few of whom go by "square" names, preferring instead to be known as "Nathan Detroit", "Big Jule", "Harry the Horse", "Good Time Charlie", "Dave the Dude", and so on. These stories were written in a very distinctive vernacular style: a mixture of formal speech and colorful slang, almost always in present tense, and always devoid of contractions. His body was cremated and his ashes were scattered over Manhattan by Captain Eddie Rickenbacker on December 18, 1946. Very fine.
Author H. L. Mencken Signature, with inscription "This shows me in my race-track clothes", on card 5.5" x 2", mounted on stiff card stock with a small photo and brief biographical sketch. Mencken (1880 - 1956) was a twentieth-century journalist, satirist, social critic, cynic, and freethinker, known as the "Sage of Baltimore" and the "American Nietzsche". He is often regarded as one of the most influential American writers of the early 20th century. Mencken is perhaps best remembered today for The American Language, his exhaustive, multi-volume study of how the English language is spoken in the United States, and his scathingly satirical reporting on the prosecution, judge, jury, and venue of the Scopes trial, which he is credited for naming the "Monkey" trial. His epitaph reads: If, after I depart this vale, you ever remember me and have thought to please my ghost, forgive some sinner, and wink your eye at some homely girl. Very fine.
Douglas MacArthur Signature As Acting Secretary of War "Douglas MacArthur". 4" x 1.25", excised from a larger document and mounted to a stiff cardboard backing, boldly signed and in fine condition. Presumably signed while MacArthur was Army Chief of Staff, 1930-1935.

Military & Patriotic
Group of 4 Patriotic WWII Posters. A wonderful group of colorful and in some cases poignant patriotic posters. Perhaps the most evocative of the group is a poster entitled "...because somebody talked!", 14.25" x 20", Artist: Yegley, 1943, Office of War Information, fine with usual fold creases. This poster depicts the heart wrenching scene of the family dog resting his head on his dead master's navy uniform with the Gold Star flag in the background. Included is a wonderfully sinister poster titled "Bits of Careless Talk Are Pieced Together by the Enemy", 14.25" x 20", Artist: Stevan Dohanos, 1943, Office of War Information, in fine condition with the usual fold crease marks. Rounding out the lot are two home front posters for conservation. Both of these posters are in fine condition with the usual fold marks.
Three WWII Patriotic Posters. A diverse and colorful selection of WWII posters including: "The United Nations Fight For Freedom", 22" x 28", Artist: Broder, 1942, fine with the usual fold marks; "For Freedom's Sake Buy War Bonds", 22" x 28", Artist: "JA", 1943, fine with fold creases; and "Fill It! Help Harvest War Crops", 22" x 28", Artist: Stevan Dohanos, 1945, fine with the usual crease marks.
"Let'em Have It" WWII 4th War Loan Poster. 20" x 28", Artist: B. Penlin, 1943, Government Printing Office, appears to be unused, fine with fold creases as usual. The central theme is colorful, "soft" image of a soldier throwing a grenade. A great poster with compelling form.
"Back the Attack!" WWII 3rd War Loan Posters. Lot includes two identical posters, 20" x 28", Artist: Georges Schreiber, Government Printing Office, 1943, in fine, bright and apparently unused condition. Both posters have been folded and bear the usual marks. These colorful posters depict an action-packed scene of paratroopers being dropped from C-47s into the fray. In the foreground a Tommy-gun wielding paratrooper faces the action with a determined look on his face.
Three Patriotic WWII Posters. Included in the lot are two posters issued from the Office of Economic Stabilization, 16" x 22.5", one with a James Montgomery Flagg image of Uncle Sam, both in fine, un-issued condition with the usual folds. Each poster lists the seven "keys" to victory. The remaining poster measures 16" x 22.5", Artist: Leon Helguera, dated 1943, issued by the Office of War Information, appears un-issued with fold creases as usual. This wonderfully evocative poster features Uncle Sam with finger to lips and the caption "I'm Counting on You! Don't Discuss: Troop Movements, Ship Sailings, War Equipment".
Two Colorful WWII War Bond Posters. Two posters issued by the Government Printing Office on behalf of the ongoing Victory Load/War Bond program. The first poster entitled "Extra War Bonds" measures 14.25" x 41", Artist: John Atherton, 1944, in fine, apparently unused condition with the usual fold creases. The colorful image depicts the symbols of the Axis being swept up by the "war bond" broom. The other poster is titled "Victory - now you can invest in it!", 18.5" x 25.5", Artist: Dean Cornwell, 1945, in fine unused condition with fold creases. An eagle with outstretched wings perched upon a stack of war bonds serves as the central theme of this colorful poster.
"More Power for Eisenhower - Join the Fighting Fifth Buy More Bonds!" WWII Poster. 26.5" x 41", Artist: Boris Chaliapin, circa 1944, distributed and exhibited under the auspices of the War Activities Committee - Motion Picture Industry in cooperation with the War Finance Committee of the U.S. Treasury, appears to be unused with only the slightest age toning to the edges and the usual fold marks. A striking image of "Ike" in the foreground with the might of America's air, land and sea power behind him.

Baseball Cards
1912 S81 Silks Howie Camnitz #99. Dubbed with the name "silks" due to the satin-like fabric upon which baseball figures' images were printed, the S81 issue is related to the better-known T3 Turkey Red cabinet cards of the same era. Twenty-five of the top baseball figures of the day were featured in this set, which was available as a premium with Helmar "Turkish Trophies" cigarettes. With few exceptions, the S81 silks feature the same imagery at the T3 issue, but the delicate nature of the silks make them far more scarce. You surely won't find a finer example than the Camnitz representation we present here, which has only the lightest touch of fraying at top and bottom and the faintest hint of toning at lower right to note. Otherwise we're strongly compelled to designate a NRMT rating here, which is almost unheard of for this scarce and tremendously condition sensitive set. 7x9".
1909-11 T206 Ty Cobb Portrait Red Background Old Mill Back SGC Poor 10. One of the keys to the wildly popular tobacco issue is up for grabs here -- the rare Ty Cobb red portrait, complete with premium Old Mill back.

1911 T205 Gold Border Joe Tinker PSA VG-EX 4. Part of the sparkling Chicago Cubs infield, Joe Tinker was among the group that would win the 1908 World Series, with the club's ensuing epic championship drought beginning at that moment. While the fate of the Cubs has not fared well, this specimen from the 1911 T205 issue presents Joe Tinker here in all his PSA-encapsulated glory.

Fresh off a 17-8 record with Montreal of the International League the year prior, 1954 proved to be a rough one at the top level for Lasorda, who instead took the managerial road to Hall of Fame induction.
1961 Topps Roger Maris All-Star #576 PSA NM-MT 8. Released after his first of two straight AL All-Star awards and on the heels of his historic 61 in '61, this fine Topps card captures Roger Maris at perhaps the height of his ball-playing days.

1966 Handwritten Notes for Casey Stengel's Hall of Fame Induction Speech from the Casey Stengel Collection. Titanically important offering is believed to represent the first time a Hall of Famer's induction speech notes have ever been offered for public sale. Unceremoniously "filed" in a tremendous stack of Stengel's paperwork, these three pages were spotted by a sharp Heritage staffer who recognized them for what they are. An 8.5x11" lined yellow page begins with the words, "Hall of Fame & Museum, Cooperstown, N.Y., July 25th 1966," and goes on to mention a fellow inductee "Ted Williams, perfect swing, can hit distance, greatest batter hitting L. handed in my experience in the American League." He discusses "old bats, gloves, shoes, uniforms and shape of shirts with collars, mustaches, sliding pads, woolen shirts...This year am enducted (sic), Chosen by B.B.W.A. of America." A second yellow page seems to be a false start, but begins much like the first. Another page approximately the size of a legal pad continues with notes like "New Building, Abner Doubleday, game of Base-Ball, One-Cat Two-Cat or Rounders." Later he lists the names of all original inductees, "Wagner, Grover Alexander...," noting "one alive." Far too much terrific content to include here, but whether these pages were on the podium with Casey when he accepted the greatest honor in baseball, or were just early drafts, the tremendous importance and value of these pages cannot be denied. All ink is in 10/10 condition, and pages are oddly folded but show no noteworthy damage.
1921 Mrs. Sherlock's Bread Pins Babe Ruth. The date of issue for these pins is uncertain. The set is one of several sponsored by the Toledo bakery. Pin shows minor signs of wear on surface and back, overall EX condition.
Lou Boudreau Vintage Pinback with Ribbon and Charms. Tremendous vintage Lou Boudreau pinback, most likely dating from the 1940s, is in EX condition or better, with only some rusting to the verso keeping it from rating higher. Includes original ribbon and baseball and glove charms.
Basketball Cards
1948 Bowman Basketball Bob Davies #10 PSA EX-MT 6. One of the most proficient players of basketball's earlier days, Bob Davies was being dubbed the "Harrisburg Houdini" before Bob Cousy ruled the hardwood. The Hall of Famer's entry in the classic 1948 Bowman hoops issue is up for grabs here.
1948 Bowman Basketball William Holzman #32 PSA EX-MT 6. The long-time head coach for the New York Knicks Red Holzman led his team to two NBA Championships in 1970 and 1973. Here we offer the HOFer's entry in the post-war 1948 Bowman issue, which has been slabbed and graded in one of PSA's holders to EX-MT status.

Julius Erving Single Signed Basketball. From the man who revolutionized the game during the 1970s we offer this Spalding basketball, signed with a PSA 9 sharpie signature. Julius J. Erving was the man who essentially lifted the ABA on his back, being that league's biggest star when it merged with the NBA after the '76 season. Dr. J's dominance would not end there, though, as he would go on to be one of the most dominant above-the-rim players the game has ever known. A true revolutionary.
Magic Johnson Single Signed Basketball. A potent backcourt threat with an array of talent, Magic Johnson possessed a skill set that made him near unstoppable for several years with the LA Lakers. Here the Hall of Famer has deposited a marvelous sharpie signature on the skin of the offered Spalding basketball.
1972 Bill Russell Signed Contract . One of the toughest of all Basketball Hall of Fame autographs, and particularly so on an official document. This five-page contract for an appearance on the television program "Sports Challenge" offers a perfect blue ink vintage signature from the Boston Celtics legend, who has also filled in his address, social security number (whited out but legible) and date of birth. Page has small (1/2") insignificant tear at top center, and could easily be matted to appear NRMT.
1972 Bill Russell Signed Contract. Here we provide a fine example of a signed contract from the basketball legend Bill Russell, guaranteeing that he would appear on a 1972 radio program. Excellent Hall of Fame memento.
1990s Matt Bullard Game Worn Jersey. Dating frim his first stint with the Houston Rockets in the first half of the 1990s, University of Iowa standout Matt Bullard's red mesh road gamer is offered here. Tremendous wear is evident throughout, especially to the well-worn white twill identifiers. Jersey number "50" is found on front and verso, with "Houston" and "Bullard" in twill above. Tail tagging is simplistic Champion size [44] tag with "#50" and "BULLARD" handwritten on it.
Boxing Collectibles
Gene Tunney Signed Autobiography. This 1932 first edition of the great pugilist Gene Tunney's autobiography A Man Must Fight has been signed and personally inscribed by Tunney himself. Inside front cover reads: "To Al Briggs - Hold everything, don't drop your guard." Minor separation of the binding inside front cover and light stains to the hard cover are the only noteworthy condition issues.
Football Cards
1935 National Chicle Shipwreck Kelley #22 PSA NM-MT 8. The text on this card's verso notes that Kelley preferred to play sans helmet, which may explain his rather gloomy nickname (interestingly, his true first name is never mentioned). Splendid color, registration and centering suggest an even higher grade, which is probably disallowed only by a tiny touch on the left bottom corner. Still, only three cards have ever graded higher.
1935 National Chicle Jim MacMurdo #29 PSA EX 5. "Big Jim" was one of the Philadelphia Eagles' most devastating tacklers in the mid-1930's, and here he appears in a brightly colored image perfectly centered on this ancient cardboard. Moderate corner wear accounts for the grade as posted, but the image area projects as a much finer card.
Football Collectibles
1968 New York Giant Team Signed Football. Over thirty members from the 1968 New York Giants football team have applied their signatures to the Rawlings football we see here. On the ball's white panel star running back Tucker Fredrickson has signed his name with a personalized message that reads, "To Harry Obitz, Thanks for a Great Time." Fredrickson's signature also appears elsewhere on the ball. Hall of Fame quarterback Fran Tarkenton is the highlight here, with other noteworthy appearances from Joe Morrison, Ken Avery, Homer Jones, Ernie Koy, Bobby Duhon, Willie Williams, Carl Lockhart and Pete Case (twice). An odd appearance from Detroit Lions linebacker Bill Swain is also found on the ball.
1988 San Francisco 49ers Super Bowl Champion Team Signed Football . The 49ers of San Francisco were just getting into the groove of their glory days during the 1988 season. Joe Montana led his club to the first of two consecutive Super Bowl victories that year with his team dominating Elway's Broncos in Super Bowl XXIII. Wilson souvenir football with three white panels here has been signed by several from that championship team, including Montana, Jerry Rice, Tom Rathman, Steve Young, John Taylor, Roger Craig, Ronnie Lott, Charles Haley and many more.
1992 San Francisco 49ers Team Signed Football . On this souvenir San Francisco 49ers Wilson football appears the signatures of members of the 1992 team. The team was stellar in the regular season, going 14-2 before falling to the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC Conference Championship. Along with HOF quarterback Steve Young and Joe Montana, ball has been graced with the signatures of such greats as Jerry Rice, Jesse Sapolu, and Eric Davis. All signatures rate a strong 8/10 or better, and ball is in Excellent condition.
Lou Little's "Football" Signed Book. Long-time head football coach at Columbia University, Lou Little had the privilege of coaching such greats as HOFer Sid Luckman. Holding the reins for Columbia from 1930-56, Little earned himself a spot in the College Football Hall of Fame. Little wrote a book, simply titled Lou Little's Football. The College Football HOFer who passed away in 1979 has signed inside the front cover of the 1934 hardbound edition. Inscription reads: "Best Wishes Bill. I hope that this all will be most pleasant. Good luck."
1960s Ernie Nevers Handwritten Letter. Personal letter in excellent condition from football great Ernie Nevers describes his greatest sports moments in flowing blue ink. Text reads, "Dear Dave, Football offered me many great thrills. One was the 1st of January 1925 against the Four Horsemen from Notre Dame. Stanford lost the game but it was a great thrill. Another great thrill was the day the Chicago Cardinals beat the Chicago Bears 40 - 6 and I was fortunate to have scored all forty points. [signed] Ernie Nevers." All blue ink is 10/10, and single handwritten page shows no condition flaws. LOA from PSA/DNA.
1980 Bubba Smith Signed Acting Contract. The former pro football player-turned actor Bubba Smith has signed the offered contract to appear in a 1980 made for TV movie called Fighting Back, which told the story of ex-player Rocky Bleier. Smith, who was just getting started in acting at the time of this film's production, is perhaps best known for his role as Hightower in the Police Academy series.
1996 Joe Namath Signed Topps Contract. The great gunslinger Joe Namath gives the Topps company permission to distribute memorabilia with his likeness, signature, etc. for the 1996 football card issues. Namath has signed the final page of the contract in a tremendous black ink, which rates a 10/10.
1996 Super Bowl XXX Full Ticket PSA NM-MT 8. A fairly new development in the hobby, but a great one. PSA, the noted card grading service, has expanded to slabbing tickets as well, offering this fine specimen from the January 28, 1996 game a NM-MT 8 designation. This unblemished example is in top condition and will make a great addition to any ticket collection.

Hockey Collectibles
1981 Wayne Gretzky Signed Publications Lot of 2. By the time this October 12, 1981 issue of Sports Illustrated went to press, the young Wayne Gretzky had already taken the NHL by storm, winning the league's MVP in each of his first two seasons (he would go on to win MVP honors eight straight times). A young Gretzky is depicted on the cover, poised to break one of hockey's great records when he scored his 50th goal in 39 games that season, smashing the previous mark set by Rocket Richard of 50 in 50 games. The Great One has applied a perfect signature to this magazine, which rates nearly as high. Also included is an Edmonton Oilers Media Guide from Gretzky's 1979-80 rookie season, also signed on the cover. The youngster is depicted on the cover, barely even seeming old enough to make an impact in hockey's highest league.
