The Rangers' first Stanley Cup-winning teams are included in this lot of two nicely-preserved vintage team photos. Featured is the 1932-33 Rangers official team photo originally presented to goalie Andy Aitkenhead. HOFers Lester Patrick, Frank Boucher, Bill and Bun Cook, Earl Seibert, Babe Siebert and Ching Johnson are pictured along with the rest of the Blueshirts in this 7 1/2" x 9 1/2" print with the Cup winners' names handwritten along the bottom. Treasured photo remains on its original 11" x 12 1/2" cardboard matte backing with the Toronto photo studio's name stamped on the back. Patrick is pictured in uniform, fresh from his heroic goaltending stint in the 1928 final against the Maroons, along with the rest of the previous spring's Cup champion Rangers in an Associated Press 8x10 training camp team photo. “Associated Press Photo” is stamped on the reverse of the vintage 8x10, which has a torn upper right corner that does not affect the image. The original AP photo caption listing the 1928 Rangers pictured is included.
“New York Rangers World Champs 1932-33” team photo has “Nelson Hitchinson, Commercial Photographers” stamped on the back of the matte along with the studio’s Toronto address.
