One of the most storied franchises in the National Hockey League, the Toronto Maple Leafs have won 13 Stanley Cups throughout their history and have had more Hockey Hall of Fame inductees than any other competing franchise. Up for grabs here, is this collection of Toronto Maple Leafs memorabilia. Paced by a copy of the Maple Leafs 1944-45 team photo that was released as part of Beehive's series 1 set, the image, still affixed to its blue backing card that is now faded and measuring out to dimensions of 8" x 12", shows that years Stanley Cup champion in black and white form with the roster including names such as Happy Day, Babe Pratt and star goaltender Frank McCool. In the overall GOOD condition range, the image displays well with some creases and a small spot stain over Babe Pratt's name observed while the backing card is faded and has creases plus a small tear at the top. Also including a scribbler from the 1930's that shows Leafs legend Harvey Jackson over the front, the toned book displays a handwritten name over the front in fountain pen ink, liquid stains, light surface wear, creasing and a stamp from "Hazen-Twiss Limited", a well known office supply and stationary store in Saskatoon over the front cover while the back has a arithmetical tables chart along with toning and a couple of light stains near the top. Measuring roughly 7" x 9 1/4", the spine shows light wear and the interior pages, some of which has been written on and had images pasted in, show toning. Lastly, we have a letter dated to December 19th, 1939 on Maple Leafs Gardens letterhead that measures approx. 8 1/2" x 11" and is addressed to Jules Dugal, general manager at the time of the Montreal Canadiens and signed by him at the bottom, the letter also sports a secretarial signature of Frank Selke as well. Remaining in good condition with a trio of fold lines as well as some light creasing throughout, don't miss out on this trio of blue and white based relics!
