Another fabulous offering featuring hockey Hall-of-Famer and college football legend Hobey Baker. This one dates to the phenom's pre-university days at St. Paul's School in Concord, New Hampshire. The Pennsylvania-born Baker spent two years at St. Paul's before entering Princeton University in 1910. According to reports of the day, Baker was in the limelight even at St. Paul's. He dominated the play, time and again bringing the crowd to its feet with long solo rushes. The yellow-haired teen was all over the ice, showing remarkable stick-handling, a deadly shot, exceptional speed and tireless endurance. Baker is pictured at centre in this matte-finish photo, applied to a thick 5" by 10" cardboard mat, with "Kimball" the photographer's name in the lower left corner and "Concord, N.H." in the right. Terrific view of vintage skates, sticks and uniforms, along with that of an early hockey superstar, make for a captivating piece. In excellent condition, the photo is a museum-worthy rarity.
