Finishing second in the Canadian Division, two points behind the Montreal Maroons, the Toronto Maple Leafs advanced to the Stanley Cup finals in 1935-36, losing the best-of-five series to the Detroit Red Wings. The squad featured a number of legendary HOFers, and we offer a period stick team-signed by the Stanley Cup finalist Leafs. A prize in it's own right to antique stick collectors, the Hespeler hand made paper label one-piece stick is in like-new condition, with the label intact and just toning taking place. 18 have signed in period dark ink, including George Hainsworth, Joe Primeau, Charlie Conacher, Dick Irvin (coach), Tim Daly (trainer, printed), Pep Kelly, Frank Finnigan, Ace Bailey (while Bailey was retired at this point, he must of had some association still with the club), Andy Blair, Bob Davidson, King Clancy, Busher Jackson, Nick Metz, Buzz Boll, Hap Day, Bill Thoms, Reg Hamilton and Red Horner. The signatures remain as dark as when first penned, with the Hainsworth, Conacher, Irvin, Clancy, Jackson and Day especially large and attractive examples. This may be the best Leafs signed stick from the period that we have ever offered. A true gem!
