For those Bleu Blanc Rouge supporters who collect all things Canadien, we have a comprehensive collection of 1945-54 Quaker Oats Habs photos totaling 86 including approx 12 duplicates, missing approx 23 different photos and variations for a complete set of Habs Quaker Oats photos. This ensemble is a great start on the way to a master collection. Most of the photos show light wear including the odd small crease, light corner wear or surface indentations, with the exceptions to include 11 that have the player's position handwritten in pencil over the bottom border, 5 that have browning tape residue/staining to the upper left and bottom right corners including one Richard (there are 2 different in the collection), one Durnan (there are 3 different in the collection) and one Bouchard (there are 3 different in the collection), and 4 that have a bit of edge chipping including Richard (there are 2 different in the collection, the other has tape residue staining as mentioned). Others worth mentioning include Harvey - staining, a bit of paper loss and a pinhole (there are 3 in the collection - 2 different, with this "Action" image a duplicate) and Harmon - multiple creases (there are 3 in the collection - 2 different, with this "Action" image a duplicate). The missing 23 include Jean Beliveau, Joe Benoit (black & white), Joe Benoit (blue tint), Toe Blake (retouched photo), Murph Chamberlain (still, side view), Floyd Curry (still), Bill Durnan (still, blue tint), Frank Eddolls, Bob Fillion (still on ice, larger image), Leo Gravelle (still, away uniform), Glen Harmon (still with puck), Elmer Lach (still, stick near corner), Leo Lamoreaux (still, entire blade), Hal Laycoe (portrait), Mike McMahon, Buddy O'Connor (still, with blade), Jim Peters (still, stick away from border), Jim Peters (still, small image), Ken Reardon (still, large image), Ken reardon (still, larger higher image), Billy Reay (small image), Maurice Richard (still), and Maurice Richard (full autograph).
