Hockey PC pickup, and a nice little puzzle

[Huysmans]

Hey Steve,

The info you posted regarding Harrington and his position with the Olympics is correct. I have a 1943-44 Boston Olympics and US Coast Guard Cutters dual-team signed stick. The Cutters were an interesting team, with a few NHL Hall of Famers who volunteered during the war... Including a Canadian, with Winnipegger and Hall of Famer Art Coulter. Other Hall of Fame members on the Cutters were Johnny Mariucci and Bruins netminder Frank Brimsek. The Boston Olympics this season included teenagers Fernie Flaman and Allan Stanley... Who would both go on to long Hall of Fame careers.
Here's a photo of the Harrington signature on the stick, and you'll notice the similarities between the style of the "H", and the space between the "G" and "T". I'd say it's a safe bet the individual on your postcard is Hago Harrington.

I hope this info helps.

Wow, that's fantastic. Really does look like it's him.

With all the pics, and stats I had a lot more info than usual when I make a page for an item. So I went a bit fancy. Double sided page printed on acid free cardstock. The PC is mounted with archival photo corners. Then I put it in a single pocket page. Most of my pages are really simple, just a title like at the top of this one and the side that's not displayed printed below unless the item is blank backed or there's not much to the other side.

If either Brent or Joe objects to me using their pics this way I'll change it so I'm not using them. I'll be a bit sad since I think it came out pretty nice, but I'd change it.

Thanks guys!

I started doing this for some of the stamps I collect, there are commercialy made album pages for the basic ones, but none for a more advanced collection - Plate varieties, different papers that the catalog doesn't list etc. Once I finished that I started doing some of the other stuff. It takes up a bit more space, but I have a bunch of stuff where I know what's special about it but almost anyone else would have a bit of work to do. So I make a page with at least a minimal writeup.

It also helps organize. I have to decide if something is special or valuable enough that I want to spend the effort making a page.
