Irvin, Day and Clancy are among seven deceased HOFers who autographed this team-signed 1933-34 Maple Leafs British Consols Cigarettes premium picture. Alexandra Studio produced the photo montage of this 6x9 team picture, which is also signed by Horner, Busher Jackson, Primeau and Hainsworth among the 15 black fountain pen autographs. The Maple Leafs lineup is laid out in two rows with inset photos of Smythe, Selke, Irvin and Daly on either end. Despite obvious handling, including a tear through the bottom of Irvin’s inset and two vertical fold creases, this highly desirable Leafs team picture is all set for suitable display in a worthy Maple Leafs shrine!
Signatures from the top left include Dick Irvin, Harold Cotton, Buzz Boll, King Clancy, George Hainsworth, Red Horner, Alex Levinsky and Ken Doraty. Below them, from the left, are Harvey "Busher" Jackson, Bill Thoms, Hap Day, Hec Kilrea, Joe Primeau, Chas Sands and Andy Blair.
Hainsworth’s signature is slightly bolder than Jackson’s, which are the two best examples of the deceased HOFers. The Horner, Primeau, Clancy and Day autographs are fainter but legible, as is Irvin’s, which is the faintest of all with the tear from the edge going through his first name.
