Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction June 2025
This especially desirable collection of 74 Bee Hive Group 2 (1945-64) Detroit Red Wings photos constitutes a near complete set of the known Red Wings images (74/77), missing just Jerry Couture (Err. photo of Fern Gauthier) and the two variations of the Vic Stasiuk photos for completion. Overall, the collection is in nice collectible condition only exhibiting minor/light wear to the corners of the backings, with a portion of the backings showing more wear to their corners including small folds/creases (it is possible we missed some replacement backings and/or re-glued photos but we didn't spot any included in this group).
Condition exceptions include Gordie Howe (dark sweater) with pinholes on the backing and a crease on the upper edge of the backing. The back of the Gordie Howe (white sweater) backing has glue residues. The back of the Bruce MacGregor backing has glue/paper residues. The Ed Litzenberger photo has a 3/4" scratch on the left middle side of the image. The photos of Max McNab, Howie Glover and Red Kelly have some folds in them.
Photos showing small fold lines/creases to the corners/edges of the backings are; Poile, Hall, Arbour, Enio, Fogolin, Pavelich, Bonin, Zeidel, G. Stewart, L. Reise, Goldham, McFadden, Leswick, Woit, Prystai, Black, Wilson, D. Morrison, Fonteyne, Young, A. Delvecchio and Glover.
