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...

****Who is John P Grier**** it says related to horse racing on the file ?

This too....can this be old ? By the looks of it, it seems to be an early piece...This was in yesterday's box...

One of the items i found was some very old decals or stickers from Airline Company's....some are evidently very old, i am guessing like in the 1930's or 40's up to the 60's i think....they are in great condition also....any clue if they are collectable or if they old any value ? I think i have like 2000 of those in albums and in transparent sheets...a full collection !!!

If John P Grier was a horse, was it named after an important man ?

bibitte2,

You really hit the jackpot with these items....I agree with Ahab to go with a high end auction house to liquidate these items....also worth considering going to a 3rd party authentication service to have them evaluated and graded.....that way it gives more validity to the items being legit to command a higher price.
