Default Research goes a long way...

Description on the Babe Lot only described it as a Rare auto in a not often seen hand written format. What is interesting is that the Post card was written while Babe and the Montreal Canadiens made hockey history when they embarked on the FIRST ever European Tour with the Detroit Red Wings that saw the FIRST ever NHL Exhibition Game in Europe....the FIRST NHL games outside of North America. They would play 9 exhibition games on England and France.

The Babe in this post card speaks of," just getting back from one a few minutes ago", and is Paris. He actually scored in the game that he makes a mention of. Very historical piece with great hockey content.

The beautiful Cy Rigler ball just drew me in...
