Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Spring 2023
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 5/2/2023
Soon to celebrate a century of Blueshirts hockey, the New York Rangers are one of the oldest NHL clubs, joining the league in 1926. We offer a group of 5 1920s/30s Rangers photos, along with a 1937-38 Rangers team postcard. There are team-issued photos of Bill and Bun Cook from the late-1920s, with press stamps and handwritten notations on the reverse of each along with publication dates (approx 5" x 7"), along with three photos including Ching Johnson, John Ross Roach and Bill Cook/Bun Cook/Frank Boucher/Lester Patrick that also have media notations and dates on the reverses (8" x 10"). All five photos show handing and surface wear with the odd crease or indentation. The postcard pictures the club in an on-ice team pose, with Lester Patrick wearing a sweater from the Ace Bailey benefit game in 1934. The postal reverse has "1936-37" handwritten in pencil (incorrect year), with just light wear present overall.
