Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction June 2017
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/21/2017
Highly desirable and extremely rare - especially in full document form, we have a military commission from 1878 that has been signed by both Queen Victoria along with the individual responsible for the Stanley Cup, Lord Stanley of Preston. At roughly 13” x 16” (open) and folded thrice, the antique document features wonderful fountain pen script, with an affixed seal on the first page along with the signature of Queen Victoria along the top section, with the second page featuring additional script with Lord Stanley signing beneath. Both signatures remain dark and are stand-alone examples, with some light smudging at the top of the Stanley signature. The document itself displays wear and toning, especially along the century-old fold lines. High caliber Lord Stanley signatures rarely make themselves available, with each example greatly contested as it is one of the most important signature in all of hockey.
