Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction December 2022
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 12/13/2022
Once displayed in the hallow halls of the famed Montreal Forum, along with other mounted player photos from championships teams, we offer a pair of unique oversized colour-tinted photos of enforcer and wartime hero Jimmy Orlando and past Montreal Canadien Ernie LaForce, with the pair pictured with the Montreal Royals during the 1947-48 season, while the club served as current Allan Cup champions. At 13 ½” x 17”, with each mounted to thick artist board, the photos appear hand-coloured, with each resplendent in his Royals wool sweater. A small piece of paper with the player’s name and season is affixed to the reverse of each, with the pair showing wear commensurate with their former use including corner/edge wear, pinholes, toning and scratches. Surviving relics once displayed in hockey’s ultimate shrine are not offered everyday.
