For the lovers of vintage hockey publications, we have a desirable collection of Toronto Maple Leafs programs totaling 9 ranging from 1933-1947, along with an extremely rare and highly sought copy of Hockey Pictorial from 1926. The programs include examples from 1932-33 (vs Boston early-on in the season - covers detached), 3 from 1933-34 (vs Montreal, Chicago – line-up detached and Ottawa), 1934-35 (no line-up – covers detached and missing), 2 for 1940-41 (vs Chicago, no line-up – covers torn along spine) and a pair from 1946-47 (vs Habs, Black Hawks). The Hockey Pictorial album from 1926 is very scarce, with examples rarely surfacing. Loaded with countless photographs of championship teams from the earliest days of the game right up until 1926, the offered copy is heavily damaged, and we’re unsure if complete as the back cover is detached and lost. As an added bonus, a Springfield Indians (CAHL) program from 1931-32 and a copy of 'Who’s Who in the NHL' from 1939-40 will also accompany.
The Leafs programs all show varying degrees of wear, with most in the low-to-mid-grade range, while as mentioned, the Hockey Pictorial album exhibits heavy wear with the front cover torn (affixed with tape) with a section missing. The spine also shows damage, with a number of tears to some of the first and last pages, with the majority of the interior pages complete and showing mostly toning along with some creasing. The 1931-32 Indians program has an intact center line-up (vs Boston Cubs), with some creasing toning and edge tears. Finally, the Who’s Who booklet has some water soiling, with the cover and first page stuck together. There is also some rusting to the staples.
