Earliest Known James Naismith Autograph PSA/DNA
<B>Earliest Known James Naismith Autograph, 1885.</B></I> Small hardcover volume entitled "The Constitution and Procedure of the Presbyterian Church in Canada" offers a 10/10 black ink inscription on the blank opening page. It reads, "1885, Oct. 19th, Montreal, M. J. MacLeod, J. Naismith." One must assume that MacLeod was the twenty-three year old Naismith's professor. This rare keepsake from Naismith's theology schooling shows expected wear, though the important autograph remains unaffected. <I>LOA from PSA/DNA. LOA from James Spence Authentication.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Small Flat (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
