Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Winter 2023
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/28/2023
Pictured in this rare cabinet photo before his NHL debut with the second season Chicago Black Hawks in 1927-28 is multi-talented athlete and legendary HOF goaltender Charlie Gardiner. Starring for Winnipeg's Tammany Tigers baseball club at the age of 20 in 1924, Gardiner is pictured dead center in a cameo image. Measuring approx 16 1/2" x 19 1/2" including the mount, the scarce photo shows no issues, with a tear to the mount. Items featuring the iconic netminder who led Chicago to the 1934 Stanley Cup before passing after that season are next to impossible to find, especially contemporary to his career or earlier. This is the only example of this photo that Classic Auctions has ever handled or seen. From the Brent Sobie antique hockey and baseball collection.
