Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction - June 2009
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/16/2009
The wool-covered beaming roster of the Toronto Maple Leafs circa the early-Thirties are lined up across this wonderful and rare panoramic photograph. We spot King Clancy for sure on one end and there is Lorne Chabot, the goalie, down on the other. With those two present, we can pin the years to 1930-31 through 1932-33 as this was the only period both Chabot and Clancy wore the veined-Leaf. That would mean that Busher Jackson, Happy Day, Joe Primeau and Charlie Conacher are also here! A great franchise loaded with talent, the Leafs would bring home their first Stanley Cup in 1931-32! In excellent condition, with overall dimensions of 5.5" x 17" including the frame.
The beauty of the rare photos featured in this incredible collection of hockey memorabilia is not solely in the eye of the beholder, rather it’s obvious to one and all. The pages that follow are filled with incredible treasures such as original team photos of some of the earliest Stanley Cup champions that speak to the great and broad history of the game. Lovingly fashioned by one of the hobby’s most enthusiastic and determined collectors, the remarkable items offered here for auction include some lots that are subject to a silent reserve. We are confident that this truly historical gathering of hockey artifacts and memorabilia will spark the enthusiasm and passion that drive your desire to seek and acquire nothing short of the best.
