This American violinist (son of the sporting goods tycoon) was a popular solo performer and also composed two violin concerti, an orchestras suite and other violin pieces. ADS, 1p, 11" X 7", New York, NY, n.y. [ca. 1930]. Very good. Evenly age toned. Front portion (only) of a large beige envelope, signed "A. Spalding" at upper left with return address in his hand and addressed to Chicago musician and music school founder John Leiser. Theodore Roosevelt 5-cent stamp cancelled, though cancellation bears no date. Accompanied by a modern glossy book photograph, a reproduction of a superb half-length portrait of a standing Spalding in middle age sporting three-piece suit, fiddle tucked casually under one arm (hand wielding bow) and other fist resting jauntily on hip. A nifty pair. Item #22495
