Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction February 2018
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/27/2018
Significant Group 2 Bee Hive stash here includes duplication, with sometimes two or three of the same photo present, but that can be good, when some of them are more scarce/valuable pictures! Overall, condition is low to mid grade, with obvious handling and wear pretty much throughout, with creasing, corner wear and intermittent soiling among the flaws observed, but still some interesting break-up value – Bee Hives are popular in all conditions. Boston notables out of four dozen include Caffery, Creighton (dark background x 2), Klukay (2), “Johnny” Pierson and Sawchuk, while goalies Jim Henry and Al Rollins (horizontal) are among 20 Black Hawks. Detroit entries total three dozen and include Hall (2), Howe (2), Sawchuk (no blade) and Stasiuk (dark jersey, no blade), with some 40 Montreal representatives highlighted by two each of the likes of Rocket Richard, Henri Richard, Beliveau and Plante and three of Litzenberger. Ranger most notables among 40-plus are Bower (pen mark in “J” of Johnny), Chrystal (3), Dea, Guidolin (3) and Hildebrand. Most plentiful are Maple Leafs (66), with two tattered original mailing envelopes revealing that our consignor had pictures sent to his home in Trout Creek, Ontario (in the Parry Sound District – Northern Ontario). Some heavier duplication is observed, with scarcer examples including Flaman (2), Hassard, Reid (2) and Solinger (2). The winning bidder will also get to sift through 33 Quaker Oats photos, which also exhibit handling and wear, with bends/warping throughout and most featuring the owner’s name penned to the reverse. Water damage also affects some, including three Series A action shots; No. 1, 2 and 3.
