Item description
Terrific group of signatures was collected by an autograph hound in the late 1940's with several pages dated "1947-48". There are generally three to six pencil autographs per page which were only signed on one side. One Canadiens page includes the sigs of Durnan, McNeil and Reardon while Blake, Richard and Bouchard appear on another and Harvey and Curry on yet another. Rangers to sign include Rayner, O'Connor, Watson, Neil Colville, Hextall and Shero (2). An early "Gordon Howe" highlights the Detroit line up which also includes Abel, Lumley, Quackenbush and Kelly. Coach "Chas." Conacher and players Doug Bentley, Roy Conacher and Gadsby are notable Black Hawks while more Rangers (Boucher, Laprade, Leswick, Lund), Canadiens and Quebec Aces round out the tempting treasure.
