Go Habs Go! Lot of three vintage Montreal Canadiens items features a framed colorized 1938-39 team photo and two 1953-54 Habs puzzles. Original 1938-39 Canadiens team photo includes a schedule of the Habs’ games at the Forum and is one we very seldom come across. Professionally framed, this poster/broadside-like affair displays HOFers Babe Siebert and Toe Blake on either end of the colorized Canadiens team photo along with Cecil Hart, Cude, Gagnon, Georges Mantha, Wentworth, Ward, and Cain, among others. With 12 ½” x 16” of the poster displayed within the white and black matte, this rare and historic Canadiens team photo displays very nicely despite its obvious flaws and less-than-perfect condition. Though the colors are somewhat muted and the poster exhibits stains, multiple light creases, and a bit of paper loss on the right side, the image of the members of the Canadiens remains a striking sight mounted in its 20” x 23 1/4" black frame. Also included are two excellent examples of a classic 1953-54 Canadiens team photo jigsaw puzzle, one of which is complete while the other is missing one piece. HOFers Richard, Lach, Bouchard, Harvey, Johnson, Plante, Beliveau, Moore, Geoffrion, Irvin and Selke are all featured in these 14” x 19” puzzles, neither of which come with their original box. The complete example is in strong excellent-plus condition, if not better, with great colors. The other puzzle, which is missing one piece, also remains in outstanding condition. These vintage Montreal Canadiens team photos, which are rare finds on their own, will make great additions to a Habs shrine!
