This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/26/2019
Qualifying as an instant collection, we have a large group of antique and vintage hockey team postcards totaling approx. 64, spanning from the early-1900s to 1950s, with the majority real photo examples. Highlighted by a 1948-49 Regina Caps postcard with HOFer Sweeney Schriner, we have roughly 18 desirable pre-1910 examples including the Guelph Bankers team from 1905-06, Chieftains Hockey Club 1907-08, The Pilot Mound Hockey Team 1907-08 – amateur champions of Manitoba, 3 Rivers Hockey Club 1904-05 – intermediate league champions of Canada, Shamrock Hockey Team 1909, Picton Hockey Team 1908, and others. Additional highlights include Kingston Junior Hockey Club 1917 – champions of Eastern OHA, Ottawa Gunners Association Hockey Team 1920-21 – Ottawa & District champions, Milton Academy Hockey Team 1910-11 (Massachusetts), Shoal Lake Hockey Team 1913-14 – champions of M.A.H.A, Brandon Wheat Kings 1938, Rhode Island Reds Hockey Team 1939-40 and many others.
Condition varies within the grouping as one might imagine, with a number of postcards exhibiting just light handling wear, while others show heavier wear from both age and use, with creases, toning, writing, tape/glue residue, postmarks and staining, along with the odd dinged or clipped corner. We should also note that just two postcards appear trimmed, with the Pilot Mound example affixed to a black cardboard backing.
