1925 'Coaching' by Knute Rockne. Personal copy of Father Matthew Walsh, Notre Dame's President 1922-28 who made the 'Fighting Irish' nickname official in 1927. Rockne added 'Mathew' as an afterthought and misspelled it.

Auction mentioned 'fragments of the dust jacket', but no pics. I found a good background for the parts included, and put them in a dust jacket. Added mylar sleeve over signed page.

Not a very intrisically valuable signature, but one that holds some significance.

This is the signature of Cady Wells. He was a well known southwestern painter and friend of Georgia O’Keefe. His paintings can sell well into the five figures. More importantly, he is my wife’s great-uncle. His brother Mason was also a painter, based in San Francisco. This signature goes along well with the other items from her family I have been able to acquire: A handwritten letter I recently purchased of her great-great-grandfather, one of the founders of American Optical Co. and several handwritten letters by Richard Henry Dana, author of ‘Two Years Before the Mast’ and after whom she is named (middle name is Dana).
