The most recently successful Original Six club, the Chicago Black Hawks have been crowned Stanley Cup champions thrice since 2010, with a number of superstars donning the Indian head throughout the club’s history, including Dick Irvin, Charlie Gardiner, Mush March, Bobby Hull, Glenn Hall, Tony Esposito and Jonathan Toews. Hailing from the unlikely source of the files of Maple Leaf Gardens, we offer a collection of vintage 1930s/40s Chicago Black Hawks player photos totaling approx 95. Featuring a number of past Black Hawks stars, the photos are mostly in the 8” x 10” range and period, with a few of the photos having back stamps/stickers, including from Reliance Engravers, Chicago Daily News, Star Library and others, with many photos stamped “Please Return to Frank Ayerst Maple Leaf Gardens”. Players represented include Art Wiebe, Johnny Gottselig, Lola Couture, Taffy Abel, Teddy Graham, Sugar Jim Henry, Baldy Northcott and others.
There is some minor duplication within the collection, with most of the photos slightly “rolled”. A number of examples also show heavier wear with the odd crease, wrinkle or edge tear. There is a team photo included from 1939-40 (poor condition), with some of the other players in the collection to include Kaleta, Chad, Carse, Cooper, LoPresti, Levinsky, MacKay, Thompson, Trudell, Burke, Brydson, Romnes and others.
