Baseball letterheads
Really an interesting thread & beautiful vintage letterheads!
Not prewar, but I have two cool letterhead/ letters to contribute that I own in my personal collection:
The first is a letter from Nolan Ryan to Angels GM Harry Dalton during his contract negotiation for the 1975 season. The handwritten sarcastic comments are in Dalton's hand. I also own all of the hand written negotiating notes from three of Nolan's contract years with the Angels in the hand of Angel's GM's Harry Dalton and Buzzie Bavasi. Back stage enlightening stuff, when you get to see how ruthlessly team GM's negotiated with players as recently as the 1970's.
The second is a personal letter that I received from the Commish, Bud Selig following the Armando Galarraga "Almost Perfect" game in 2010. I lobbied to have Selig overturn umpire Jim Joyce's obvious blown call that prevented good guy Galarraga from being credited with MLB's 20th perfect game. After receiving the letter I subsequently got Galarraga, umpire Jim Joyce and Tigers skipper Jim Leyland to sign the same letter.
