Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Fall 2018
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/6/2018
Seeing a prolonged period of use, we have a helmet donned by Bruins captain Zdeno Chara in both the 2015-16 NHL regular season along with in the 2016 Winter Classic, and it’s been photo-matched to both. A Warrior model with intact strapping and harness, “33” decals grace both the forehead section and reverse, with Bruins stickers mounted to each side along with an NHL shield decal over the lower reverse. First seeing action during the 2015-16 NHL regular season, the helmet then had the decals removed to be outfitted with examples for the Winter Classic. After the WC, those decals were again removed, with the current standard examples added as the helmet went back into regular season service. A hologram from MeiGray has been added near the right ear, with a matching Bruins LOA to accompany, along with a set of Winter Classic “Throwback” decals.
Nice use is exhibited on the headgear, with numerous marks, scratches and abrasions present, with the Warrior logos on each side blacked-out. Photo-matched to use before the Winter Classic, during the WC and again after the WC, Getty Image #497453998 (Nov 14th 2015 regular season) has been matched to the lowest mark in the Warrior logo over the front of the helmet, while Getty Images #501696738 (Dec 16th regular season), #503007248 (Dec 31st WC practice), #503446212 (Jan 1st WC game), #503651552 (Jan 5th regular season) and #506273616 (Jan 21st regular season) have all been matched to the two higher marks in the Warrior logo over the front of the helmet.
