Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Fall 2012
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/30/2012
Ultra-intriguing combination here includes an early image of hockey immortal Charlie Conacher and a scarce "Chuck Conacher" autograph. Likely from the time when Conacher was starring with fellow Toronto Maple Leaf Kid Line linemates Joe Primeau and Busher Jackson early in their NHL careers, the 5" by 7" matte-finish original photo includes an old car in the background, with Conacher personalizing it "To Elmer - Regards" in bold blue ink. That would be welterweight boxer Elmer Hogan, reportedly a friend to many athletes of the era. Discovered at an estate sale in Michigan, and housed in an old suitcase containing numerous photos from the 1920s, '30s and '40s, the somewhat yellowed photo shows evidence of scrapbook removal but is crease-free and a marvelous one-of-a-kind find.
