Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Winter 2019
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/26/2019
Legendary goaltender Frank Brimsek and fellow HOFers Art Coulter and John Mariucci are among the 28 members of the 1942-43 and 1943-44 U.S. Coast Guard Cutters hockey team who have signed this rear team photo. Brimsek’s autograph on the bottom right has very light smudges while the Coulter and Mariucci autographs are to the left in the signatures applied vertically in a variety of inks along the bottom. Items from this team are rarely seen and this is the first time we have handled a team photo or even a team-signed piece from this World War II team that boasted eight NHL players. Brimsek and Mariucci are also in the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame along with Bob Dill, Hub Nelson and Eddie Olson, who have also signed.
Other signatures include Milt Dunsmore, Bud Cook, Ossie Asmundson, Charlie Plitt, Mike Nardello, Bill Purcell, Joe Kucler, Gerry Dupuy, Pat Reilly, Manny Cotlow, Eddie Barry, Robert Gilray and Alex Motter.
“A Guaranteed Photograph by F. Paul Feder, Baltimore” is stamped on the verso.
