Overtime Christmas Auction #9
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 12/5/2006
Wonderful colorized photos of NHLers date way back to the ’27-28 season and are heavy on Montreal Canadiens content, given that they were included with Montreal’s “La Presse” newspaper. All of the Canadiens photos have varying degrees of trimmed edges, but otherwise display rather nicely with very few unsightly flaws. Leading the lineup are photos of Georges Vezina, Howie Morenz (small hole near his left shoulder), Aurele Joliat and George Hainsworth. Other Canadiens are Lepine, Leduc, Larochelle, Hart, Mondou, the Mantha brothers, Gagnon, Rivers, Gagne, Fraser, Patterson, Langlois, Gaudreault, one unidentified player and one featuring Habs executives Cattarinich, Dandurand, Hart and Letourneau. There’s also a 1929 full-page ad featuring Pit Lepine promoting Buckingham cigarettes and some big names amongst the non-Canadiens. That list includes Maroons Nels Stewart, Hooley Smith, Babe Siebert, Jimmy Ward and Red Dutton, along with Rangers Bun Cook and Leo Bourgeault, Senators George Boucher and Hec Kilrea, Boston’s Lionel Hitchman and minor league goalie Raymond Boulanger. With the exception of Stewart, this latter group is not trimmed, with pages measuring the full 11” by almost 18”. Again, very few creases to mention and well-preserved examples. Loads of possibilities and great breakup value with these marvelous images.
