The third set of team photos issued by CCM in the early-1930s, we have a Montreal Maroons team picture from the 1934-35 Green Border set, with this example completely team-signed. At approx 8 ¾” x 11 ¼” and affixed to the cardboard Charlie Conacher advertising card that accompanied the set, 19 dark ink signatures are present, with each signing next to his respective image. Highlighted by desirable signatures from HOFers Toe Blake, Lionel Conacher, Alec Connell and Hooley Smith, there’s also signatures from Baldy Northcott, Jimmy Ward, Russ Blinco, Dutch Gainor and others. The majority of the signatures remain especially bold with just very minimal fading, with the Conacher and Connell gorgeous examples.
The remaining signers include Cy Wentworth, Stew Evans, Earl Robinson, Bill Miller, Dave Trottier, Allan Shields, Sammy McManus, Gus Marker, Bob Gracie, Herb Cain and Bill McKenzie. The premium itself exhibits heavy wear, with creases, edge tears, toning, paper loss (left hand border) and tape residue. It should also be noted that the photo originates from our consignors father, who played pro hockey in the 1940s, with the signatures obtained by him in his youth.
