Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction June 2017
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/21/2017
Originating from the personal collection of HOF superstar Brett Hull, we have a New York Rangers jersey that was worn by Esa Tikkanen and photo-matched to the 1994 conference semifinals! Gerry Cosby and CCM labeling along with a size 52 fly tag remain affixed to the collar, with embroidered NHL and CCM crests over the back bottom hem. Styled with the familiar “Rangers” placed diagonally across the chest in dual-colour drop-shadow tackle twill, the mesh V-neck has been embellished with “10” across the sleeves and verso in matching material. The fight strap has been cut, with a Cosby label over the top attachment, with customized cuffs also being utilized on the garment. An LOA from Brett Hull will accompany.
It should be noted that while photo-matched to the conference semifinals, the jersey was then patched for the finals (over the left shoulder), with prior use in the regular season and conference quarterfinals a likely possibility. Hammered with use, the jersey exhibits some random dark marks on the front and sleeves, with board burns also present. The garment is also littered with approx. 27 team repairs, with 3 examples on the front, 15 on the right sleeve and 9 over the left. Regarding the previously mentioned photo-matches, Getty Images #538532144 and #538532146 from the May 9th conference semifinals series-clinching game #5 have been matched to the black mark on the elbow of the right sleeve.
