Absolutely fascinating collection features legendary HOFer Joe Malone among seven original 6” x 4” photos of the ill-fated Hamilton Tigers from their inaugural 1920-21 NHL season. Also pictured are Mickey Roach, Joe Matte, George Carey, Tom McCarthy, Eddie Carpenter and goalie Howard Lockhart. Each Hamilton player is pictured wearing his Tigers team sweater in the seven individual portrait photos, which display sharp focus right down to the details in the distinctive and detailed square team crest on the front. These 95-year-old prints are nicely preserved and Malone’s remains in the best condition of all with tiny flaws in the corners.
The handling on the other six photos is limited to the edges, some of which exhibit small tears. The McCarthy and Matte photos each have diagonal creases on the bottom right corner. Players names are handwritten on the reverse.
