As well as any other additiional information other than the obvious 'Molson' made it.

The reverse side was signed by Plante otherwise it's blank.

No mask, so that makes the picture pre November 1959.

Edited to add November.

Not necessarily. Did Plante not pose for photographers sans masque even afterwards? This doesn't look like a game action shot.

Good point....especially considering he was a "special representative" for Molson's and trying to sell beer!!

And yes, it does looked more like a posed shot rather than game action.

It looks like he has his number of the sleeve of his jersey. Looking at Montreal Canadians cards the numbers on the sleeves didn't appear untill 1958. So I guess I can narrow the year of this postcard down to anywhere from 1958 to 1962. (1962 being the last season he was in a Canadians jersey).

Geese I should be on CSI.

Can anyone else spot anything equipment wise to narrow it down more?
