A unique and extremely rare Howie Morenz signature is featured within this fascinating original 1935-36 Chicago Black Hawks team-issued Christmas card. The card is signed "Mr & Mrs H. Morenz" in fountain pen beneath and to the right of where "With all kind thoughts and Best Wishes for Christmas and the New Year" is printed inside. Morenz, who was traded to the New York Rangers midway through his second season in Chicago, is seated near fourth from the left in the front row of a photo of the 1935-36 Black Hawks that appears on the cover of the card. The team's players are listed along the bottom of the photo, including Mike Karakas, Doc Romnes, Johhny Gottselig, Alex Levinsky, Art Coulter, Lorne Chabot, Marty Burke and Mush March. The 5" x 7" card is paper stock, folded four times. It exhibits some handling and wear, though it remains in excellent condition with no significant flaws to note. This magnificent and distinctive Howie Morenz signed Christmas card will surely tempt a wide variety of collectors.
