Vintage photography is always sought by collectors, especially featuring prominent clubs like the Montreal Canadiens. We have a collection of 35 vintage Habs photos, including a pair signed by deceased HOFer Boom Boom Geoffrion. First, there are 18 snapshot sized photos including 8 that show the Canadiens in game action during the 1970s including Dryden, with a few showing a sports dinner with Howe and Jackie Robinson, one showing Plante, Harvey and the Pocket Rocket posed with the Stanley Cup (late-1970s) and a Dollard St Laurent wedding photo. This is followed by six photos in the 5" x 7" range or slightly larger including two showing 1950s game action vs Leafs, one of Henri Richard and Claude Provost in business attire and one of Habs teammates from the mid-to-late-1940s including Buddy O'Connor, Ken Reardon, Toe Blake and Butch Bouchard. Next, there are 7 8" x 10" photos including Habs wives, players with wives at a restaurant including Lach, Boom Boom, Bouchard and Harvey, 5 full uniform Turofsky portrait photos including Lach, Harvey, Durnan, and Blake, and lastly, an oversized 1973 media photo of Ken Dryden (8" x 14"). The signed Geoffrion photos are 8" x 10" (ballpoint) and 5" x 7" (marker). A number of the photos have stamps on the reverse, with a few used for media publication. The group shows handling wear, with the bulk of the photos in very good condition.
