This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/18/2013
Swell array of vintage-signed individual photos date back to the 1940s, with 41 total personalized (P); the earlier ones mostly to "Ella" and the later ones to "Emile." Some of the '40s photos are mounted on paper, with the year identified. Highlights include Lynn and Muzz Patrick, Frank Boucher (P) and Neil Colville (P), with non-personalized photos signed by Alf Pike, Dutch Hiller (2 different), Oscar Aubuchon, Rene Trudel, Church Russell, Dave Creighton, Allan Stanley, W. Hergesheimer and Walt Tkaczuk. Among the "oldies" personalized are Murdoch, Heller (2), Watson, Raleigh, McCauley, Atanas, Hunt, Stanowski, Thurier, Henry, Bathgate, Howell and Ronty, with the 1970s, including coach Fred Shero, detailed on our website. The Shero photo is one from a group of 1978-79 Rangers media photos and is made out to, like the rest, “Emile”. We’re not sure whether that would have been Emile Francis, but at any rate, the signing lineup includes goalies Davidson, Thomas and Soetaert, as well as Esposito, Hedberg, Nilsson, Greschner, Dave Maloney, Duguay, Vickers, Vadnais, Plante, Deblois, Hickey, McEwen, Marois, Talafous, Johnstone, Fotiu, Farrish and assistant coach Mike Nykoluk. Each of the photos from the ‘70s have two “squares” on the back where scotch tape once affixed them but in no way are they detectable from the front. Overall, a nifty collection for Rangers and autograph enthusiasts to consider.
