FeedTriple Crown Brand
June 16, 2012 in Boston Bruins, Chicago Blackhawks, Detroit Red Wings, Howie Morenz, Montreal Canadiens, Montreal Maroons, New York Rangers, Olympics, Toe Blake, Toronto Maple Leafs Tags: Canada Starch Co., Crown Brand hockey, Howie Morenz, Montreal Maroons, New York Americans, Pit Lepine, Toe Blake
Although I have almost 70 Group 2 (1944-64) Habs Beehives, I only have three Crown Brand photos, but three’s better than none, I think.
The Howie Morenz Crown Brand is a mighty desirable one to have, although Toe Blake and Pit Lepine are no slouches either. I’ve shown Lepine and Blake before, but this is the first time I’ve shown Morenz.
Crown Brand photos were produced by the Canada Starch Co. between 1935 and 1940, and they’re a hot item on the collectables market. I really don’t have a lot of information about them to pass on. Not only are there photos of Canadiens players but also the Montreal Maroons, Chicago Black Hawks, Toronto Maple Leafs, and the 1936 Canadian Olympic team, and I’m assuming the Rangers, Wings, Bruins, and New York Americans are also represented.
I don’t know exactly. Maybe if someone does, they could help me out here..

Dennis, if I ever visit you, you MUST let me look at this stuff. I promise to keep quiet and not babble too much – unless I need to rant about the team.
How about a little summer excitement? (Heart-attack warning!)

Darth, thank you the video. Whew! And yes, come and look at it. But don’t wait too long. I’m old.
