Larry Bird's work ethic, determination and desire were the trademarks of the Celtics teams he led during the 1980's.  His competitive, fiery nature demanded excellence from himself and from his teammates. The Celtics teams of the 1980's were wildly successful winning NBA Championships in 1980-81, 1983-84 and 1985-86 and Bird himself claimed three MVP awards. This Boston Celtics home warm up jacket was worn by Boston Celtics of  Hall of Famer Larry Bird during the 1980's. On the inside of the jacket, behind the snaps, is the "Sand-Knit" tagging with the size "46." Next to this is the "Sand-Knit" exclusive label with the recently retired player number "33" done in black magic marker. Across the front of the jacket is the name "Celtics" in green on gold ironed on letters. On the back is a green snap-on nameplate with the name "Bird" in white tackle twill. Above this is Bird’s autograph (9/10). On each sleeve is the Celtics' ironed-on shamrock. The warm-up jacket shows wear and has no alterations of any kind. LOAs from MEARS (A10) and Grey Flannel.

Rock & Roll

The Rolling Stones A typescript management contract, signed and executed by the band and Andrew Loog Oldham, [ca. 1964] Becoming the Stones Two leaves (328 x 203 mm) typed on rectos, signed on the second page by Bill Wyman, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Charlie Watts, and Andrew Loog Oldham; remnants of previous mount adhered to verso at corners, three old horizontal folds, slight split along one fold of one leaf at outer margin, creasing at margins and corners, several holes to upper left corner of each leaf, a few tiny marginal nicks and closed tears, stray spots, lightly browned, more so at margins. The transformative contract between the Stones and their most influential manager and producer The contract begins: 1. I hereby engage you individually and jointly as 'The Rolling Stones' to render such services as I may require in the production of phonograph records, and you hereby accept such engagement and agree to render such services for us for a period ... terminating August 31st, 1970. 2. A minimum of 40 (forty) 78 r.p.m. record sides or their equivalent shall be recording during the term hereof; additional recordings shall be performed by you and recorded by us at our election. ... It further stipulates, along with standard licensing agreements, the breakdown of royalties, which help to date the present contract: 5. We shall pay you for services to be rendered hereunder and for the rights granted herein, a royalty of seven per cent (7%) on sales up to February 28th, 1965 and twelve per cent (12%) on sales after February 28th, 1965 of the wholesale sellers price (exclusive of all taxes) of ninety per cent (90%) of all records sold and paid for in the United Kingdom containing on both sides thereof a composition or compositions performed by you and recorded hereunder ... Andrew Loog Oldham was essential to The Rolling Stones' success. After being tipped off to the band, Loog Oldham went to see the Stones performing as the house band in a Richmond club and immediately saw their potential for pop stardom. He returned to London certain that he had seen the next British sensation and offered to partner signing them with his then employer, Beatles’ manager Brian Epstein . His boss passed on the chance to work with the scruffy band, and so the then Rollin’ Stones signed their first management contract with Loog Oldham in May 1963. Oldham was only nineteen years old, so he partnered with Eric Easton, as he wasn't legally allowed to sign contracts or obtain an agent's license on his own. The arrangement of joint management with Easton came to an end in 1964 over the split of royalties due the band for original songs and his underhanded manipulation of licensing and publishing. Loog Oldham then took the reins of marketing the band alone and in earnest, with an unorthodox and transgressive style that became a template for rock managers thereafter from Led Zep’s Peter Grant to the Sex Pistols’ Malcolm McClaren. It was Loog Oldham who initially pushed them to pursue writing their own songs, rather than sticking with their R&B covers. And although he originally thought to model the band off The Beatles—with whom he had worked before—he instead decided to situate them in opposition to the Fab Four, encouraging a dishelved and heterogenous appearance: to create a group of dangerous-seeming "undesirables," against the The Beatles' safer charms. He orchestrated such press as “Would you let your daughter marry a Rolling Stone?” and when one of the band was nicked for urinating against a gas station wall, even that became a press moment. He carefully curated the band’s image, first by relegating the piano player Iain Stewart to an offstage role (not photogenic enough) and then by pushing Jagger rather than founder Brian Jones to be the front man and face of the group. Loog Oldham also produced most of the classic Brian Jones era Stones albums, including all their iconic mid-60s hits, from "Satisfaction," "Paint it Black," "Get off my Cloud," "19th Nervous Breakdown," etc. From setting the band’s image (album covers photographed by Derek Bailey and longer hair), and courting controversy to insure press coverage to sitting behind the mixing board, Loog Oldham steered the Stones to stardom. It was one of the most enviable and legendary production and management runs in rock. Though he only managed the band until 1967, when they parted ways amidst strained relations, few others exerted such an impact on the band. Without Andrew Loog Oldham's influence and vision, it is arguable if they Stone’s would have made it out of the Crawdaddy Club.

Property of a New York Collector (South Sea Bubble) A pair of documents relating to the purchase of stock in the South Sea Company, formed in 1711 to conduct trade in South America under a treaty with Spain Manuscript document, one page (246 x 208 mm), [London], 4 March 1712, signed by Francis North and his wife Alice, Baron and Baroness of Guilford, with their wax seals. "Wee the Right Honble Francis Lord Guilford and Lady Alice Baroness of Guilford … Doe hereby Authorise and Impower James Taylor … to Sell Assigne and Transferr One hundred pounds in the Capital and principal Stock of the Governor and Company of Merchants … trading to the South Seas … Witnesse our hands and seals the Ffourth day of March One thousand Seven hundred and twelve, …" countersigned by two witnesses, later docket on verso. Manuscript document, one page (227 x 185 mm), London, 16 January 1720/21, signed by Elizabeth, Countess of Thanet. "ray Let my Subscription of one thousand pounds on the fourth Subscription be placed to my acct. in Stock according to ye Resolution of the Generall Court of the South Sea Compa. London the 16 Janury 1720 [/21]." Together, 2 documents; some very light toning. The South Sea Company was an English joint-stock company established by Robert Harley in 1711 to exercise exclusive British trading privileges with South America and the Pacific islands. Francis Lord Guilford, co-signer of the first document, served successively as Privy Councilor and President of the Board of Trade and was a major player in the formulation of economic policy at the time. Speculative mania pushed the price of the stock to great heights before it collapsed in 1720, ruining many investors. The timing of the stock purchase by the Countess of Thanet recorded in the second document was particularly unfortunate, occuring just before the bubble burst.
