Take a trip back to the post-War glory years of the Toronto Maple Leafs with this large and impressive collection of 34 signed 1945-54 Quaker Oats Photos. Among the legends featured are Hall of Famers like Max Bentley (d. 1984), Leo Boivin, Ted Kennedy (d. 2009), Fern Flaman (d. 2012), Harry Lumley (d. 1998), Bud Poile (d. 2005), Frank Mathers (d. 2005), and Harry Watson (d. 2002) along with favourites like “Flying Father” Les Costello (d. 2002), Sid Smith (d. 2004) and Howie Meeker. Condition of the photos varies from fair to excellent and 29 of the featured players have sadly passed away. A fantastic lot for a Leafs fan to look back at how the game was over 65 years ago!
