Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction - June 2009
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/16/2009
The New York Americans continue to struggle in 1933-34, missing the playoffs for the 5th year in a row with a lousy record of 15-23-10. Following the season the cash strapped Americans would attempt to merge with the cash strapped Ottawa Senators in order to inject some revenue into a struggling franchise, but the NHL Board of Governors shot down the idea. This wonderful vintage photograph captures that team during trying times with Red Dutton, Roy Worters, Eddie Burke and Rabbit McVeigh counted among the line-up. The photograph is in excellent-plus condition and housed in the original classic cream matte and black wood frame under glass. 15" x 18".
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.
