Starting with the complete calendars, the group of nine (9) includes various sized examples from the 1973-74, 1976-77, 1977-78, 1978-79, 1979-80, 1980-81, 1981-82 and 1983-84 (x2) seasons of play with all in overall nice condition while sporting some minor roughness to the edges and a few tears in places that are worth pointing out for accuracy while a couple also show handwritten notations as well. Among the notable single pages, present are noteworthy examples of pages from the 1944 edition for the months of June/July/August, September and October that are all still partially affixed to their cardboard top as well as a single March 1944 page. Each measuring roughly 18" x 26 1/2", the pages display excellent imagery while sporting wear via small tears, creases/folds and toning but are free from handwritten notations. Continuing on with the notable pages, included is a group of sheets signed by the likes of Bob Davidson (November 1944), Maurice Richard (December 1954), Andy Bathgate (January 1953), Johnny Bower/Frank Mahovlich (January 1962), Alex Delvecchio (April 1967), Andy Bathgate (x2)/Alex Delvecchio (April/May/June 1960), Johnny Bower (April 1962), Ron Ellis (January 1965) and Johnny Bower again (February 1965). Of note, all the signed pages are largely in good shape but the 1953 and 1954 pages both sports tears of various sizes around their edges. For the remaining pages, included are various single pages from 1954 to 1975 for the Maple Leaf Gardens calendars as well as single page Montreal Forum pages from 1953 and 1954. In various conditions, overall the group makes a sensational addition to any vintage collection.
