Special Howie Morenz penmanship is featured within this fascinating original 1935-36 Chicago Black Hawks Christmas card. The 5” by 7” card is signed "Mr & Mrs H. Morenz" in fountain pen beneath where "With all kind thoughts and Best Wishes for Christmas and the New Year" is printed inside. Morenz, traded to the Rangers midway through his second season in Chicago, is easily spotted in the front row of a photo of the ‘35-36 Hawks that appears on the front. Team members’ facsimile signatures are below the photo which pictures the likes of Karakas, Romnes, Gottselig, Levinsky, Coulter, Chabot, Burke and March, with that of Morenz mirroring the actual signature inside. On paper stock and folded four times with a pinhole at the top and two right side creases which do not affect the image, the terrific treasure, when you hold it, will have you marveling that the great Morenz once held it too!
Also to be aware of is evidence of the piece once having been affixed in a scrapbook, with light glue residue, a touch of scrapbook paper and very minor paper loss on the back.
