Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction June 2017
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/21/2017
Coach Bob Johnson was well-known amongst those who played for him for his leadership, enthusiasm and unflappable optimism, immortalized through his famous catchphrase "It's a great day for hockey!" And no coach is complete without his trusty whistle. This one must have been quite special as it was the only whistle we found among his hockey mementos. The chrome-plate pea whistle is the Thunderer model produced by the Acme company and is marked "Made in England". It comes complete with the ring but no longer has the lanyard. Imagine all of the drills that this little instrument stopped and started. Also included is Bob's vintage German-made Hanhart Premier stop watch complete with original vinyl pouch. The 7-jewel timepiece is in excellent condition and runs fabulously! Obtained in an estate sale of personal items that had been saved by Bob Johnson and will come with a letter of provenance.
