Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Winter 2019
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/26/2019
Known affectionately as The China Wall, legendary netminder Johnny Bower spent a quarter-century in professional hockey, most notably backstopping the Maple Leafs to four Stanley Cup championships. We have a wonderful collection of Bower signed items totaling four, with a vintage-style goalie mask and Leafs jersey, Leafs puck and an 8” x 10” photo. The mask was produced by Mikula Masks, with vintage style strapping, with Bower signing across the forehead in blue, adding both “China Wall” and “HOF 76”. There is a bit of loss to the “C” in “China”, with a hologram from Mikula affixed to the interior and the limited-edition number of “19/24” handwritten. The jersey is an acrylic CCM creation made to simulate wool with “XL” tagging (size 52), along with a wonderful vintage-style felt Leafs team crest with embroidered detailing. Bower has signed beneath the team crest in blue sharpie with minimal bleeding, adding “HOF 76”. Next, the 8” x 10” photo is on glossy stock and picture’s the HOFer in his Leafs finery during game action, with an attractive blue sharpie signature placed beneath. The final item is a signed Leafs puck, with this example produced by InGlasCo, with Bower signing above the Leafs logo in gold, again adding his number. This lot will be accompanied by an LOA from Classic Auctions.
