The front of Steven's hand drawned shirt.
The back...a little more interesting
How I came to own this is another one of those “stories.”
You know a friend of a friend of a friend…..
Here goes.
A close friend of mine and one of the top Rock and Roll memorabilia dealers in the country, Jeff Gold of Recordmecca was contacted by an individual looking to sell an unusual item.
A hand drawned shirt made for Steven Tyler of Aerosmith back in the early 70’s.
Jeff checked out his story, the background, how he got it, etc….by the way, you won’t find anyone more interested in provenance and backup than Jeff.
Since Aerosmith memorabilia wasn’t exactly his thing, he called and offered the shirt to me.
I spoke directly with the owner and he supplied me with enough information and backup for me to feel comfortable buying this piece.
It it to the best of my knowledge the earliest clothing item belonging to Steven Tyler’s in existence.
Here’s the letter supplied to me by the owner.
A portion of the letter with the original owner's name taken out.
