Can anyone tell me the manufacturer of these 1960's color reprint photos and any history or estimated value? They measure 4.25" x 5.25" on paper stock and were made in Canada. I have about 20 of them each highlighted a player (the one above is of Tim Horton) and then describing the play that is photographed.
These were issued by the Toronto Star newspaper in 1964-65, there was 48 in a set.
This is the same Tim Horton who has his namesake resturants all over Canada. He opened his first " Tim Hortons Donut Shop" in 1964. Died in a car accident in Feb. 1974, while driving a De Tomaso Pantera sports car. He had a very interesting life. I know this will not help solve your mystery, butI just thought I would add my 2 cents worth ! T.G.
Thanks ludedude. You have solved the mystery. I appreciate your post.
