Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction September 2023
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 9/19/2023
Multi-talented, performing at a high level in a number of sports, Lionel Conacher was named Canada’s top athlete for the first half of the 20th century due to his participation in football, baseball, wrestling, boxing and of course, hockey. This lot contains a photo that’s been signed by “The Big Train”. At roughly 7 ½” x 9 ½”, Conacher is pictured in the early-1930’s on-ice in his Montreal Maroons uniform. Shuttered by renowned photographer Rice, Lionel has boldly signed to the right of his image “With Kindest Regards to Ken + Mabel", signing as "Connie”, along with a date of Jan 20th 1932. The signature remains completely dark. The glossy print itself does exhibit some very minor issues, including some light horizontal surface lines/creases that do little to detract from the image, along with slight corner wear and light staining with handwriting on verso. A JSA LOA will accompany this prized piece.
