Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction June 2017
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/21/2017
A favourite with collectors since they were originally issued, both Bee Hive and Crown Brand hockey photos are highly prized, along with the original advertising and containers produced by each company. We have a large collection of cans from Bee Hive, along with a pair of examples from Crown Brand as well as a team shield list and a pair of different Bee Hive scribblers. We have 3 blue and red 2 pound cans, with one without its lid, another with a savings bank lid, along with a pair of 5 pound blue and red examples, one with a paper label. Next, we have 4 10 pound cans, with a single red and blue example, the others, blue and yellow, with one can having the desirable hockey picture advertising. We also have 3 blue and yellow 5 pound cans along with a single 1 pound example with a savings bank lid. For Crown Brand, we have a 2 pound can with fluted top along with a 2 pound example that features a paper label. The cans all survive in varying degrees regarding condition, with most exhibiting expected wear with rusting to the lids. The Bee Hive scribblers are each different, with one example featuring advertising for Bee Hive hockey photos, while the 4” x 7” team shield list has some surface wear and creasing with an ink notation.
