Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction June 2015
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/17/2015
The full-body images of the 1932-33 Montreal Maroons on the front of this real photo postcard, combine with the autographs of 11 players on the back to make for a stirring and tempting piece. The Rice Studio creation captures Hall-of-Famers Lionel Conacher and Hooley Smith, as well as Baldy Northcott (team scoring leader that season), coach Eddie Gerard and the rest of the squad, which posted a 22-20-6 record while leading the NHL in goals scored. Multiple creases and some missing corners prompt us to suggest that scarcity and autographs outweigh condition here.
Hooley Smith leads the signing lineup, with his bold fountain pen autograph fifth from the top and joined by similar dandy sigs of goalie “Phat” Walsh, Jimmy Ward, Wallie Kilrea, Northcott, goalie Dave Kerr, Dave Trottier and Cy Wentworth, with Glenn Brydson’s done in pencil and Archie Wilcox’s in blue ink.
