PERFECT GRADE AUTOGRAPHS OF THE 1946-47 NHL CHICAGO BLACK HAWKS ON AN EDMONTON CANADIAN ATHLETIC CLUB BANQUET PROGRAM.

This remarkable banquet program was obtained from the family of a former member of the 1946-47 Edmonton Canadians Hockey Club. He obtained the autographs of the 1946-47 Chicago Black Hawks team as they were the guests of honour at the Annual Edmonton Canadians Athletic Club Banquet. Many Hall of Fame inducted players and members are included in this group of 12 autographs.

This program has been tucked away for these past 75 years. As a result the signatures have remained in pristine condition. The very back of the program has some adhesive damage from having been glued into a scrap book. A great collection of Chicago Black Hawks signatures.
