One of the most popular collectibles of the Original Six era, Bee Hive hockey player photos produced by the St. Lawrence Starch Co. were a staple for Canadian youth/hockey fans, with this lot being offered here totalling out to 53 photos that were released to consumers in years that saw the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens hoist Lord Stanley’s Cup at seasons end. Featuring excellent black-and-white images and surrounded by visually pleasing woodgrain borders, this small collection is perfect for someone desiring to start a set.
