One of the nicest collections we have ever handled with excellent condition specimens across the board, this comprehensive grouping of “La Presse” newsprint supplements feature’s examples from 1928-32, and totals approx 130. First, we have 25 different stars of the day, with examples present for Shore, Benedict, Stewart, Thompson, Jackson, Day and others, followed by a group of 16 Montreal Canadiens including Hainsworth, Gardiner, Gagnon, Rivers, Mantha and others. There is also a very clean and never removed 1938-39 Canadiens team photo (15 ½” x 22”) within a complete La Presse, a collection of 15 baseball players (mostly Montreal Royals) including Pepper Martin, and an additional 68 sportsmen including boxers Baer and Tunney, and golfers Farrell, Sarazen and Armour.
As mentioned, the majority of the supplements are in beautiful condition with no tears or rips, with toning the main concern. Most are also still attached to their accompanying page, with no border areas trimmed away, as commonly found. Also included, we have a pair of low-grade Canadiens players, with Hart and Larochelle.
