Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Fall 2017

A decorated soldier during the first World War, John Reed Kilpatrick excelled at both football and track while attending Yale, with this followed by a successful business that led him to eventually overseeing the daily operations of the New York Rangers from 1934-1960. We have a typed and signed letter from the HOF Builder, administered on Rangers’ MSG letterhead. At 7 ¼” x 10 ½”, the off-white and previously thrice-folded March 10th 1936 document is addressed to the sports editor of “The News”, with the content congratulatory. Kilpatrick has added a gorgeous fountain pen autograph, and it displays especially well. The sheet itself exhibits toning, with just a few errant pencil marks. Kilpatrick was elected to the HOF in 1960, with his signature a tough example for any HOF completists.
