Found Levi P Morton's will and papers...Vice President under B Harrisson
Good night,
Well i am not sure that the forum loves stories like that but hey, i have to tell it.....
It Began last year. A contact of mine told me that a man had a lot of old papers he wanted to get rid off...So he introduce me to the man, i finally get the complete lot...41 boxes + filling cabinets full....
I sorted some of the items as they had stickers on them. I got a lot of Railway document, Wells Fargo and very old Steamship and air documents....i sold some and kept those with original autographs....just in case....
SPORTS MEMORABILIA.....In those 4 boxes that i am still sorting out i found all sports related items.
1- A complete Hockey Collection....Lord Stanley related...dating from 1878 to 1908 with original Lord Stanley letter and his first program (1889)..you know...The Stanley cup Man...lol
2- A collection of football memorabilia with an autograph from 1884 from The Montreal Football Club and season tickets unused from 1957 and an incredible ticket from The 1944 Tea bowl in London just before D-Day..Canada Army Mustangs vs USA Army C.B.S. Pirates in mint condition also unused...
3- I cannot count the quantity of autographs in those boxes but to give you an idea tonight i Found papers from the Estate and the will of Levi P Morton also signed by William Cornelius Van Horne, autographs of Grenville Mellen Dodge, Edward J Berwing, William W Cook, Harry Payne Whytney (Kentuky Derby Winner), William E.S. Griswold, Frank K Sturgis Pres. of the Madison Square Garden in the 1920's), Henry W Bull (Battle of Guasimas 1898), August Belmont Jr (Belmont Stakes)....and more...
