Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction - June 2009
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/16/2009
Here’s a beauty that very seldom comes around. This ad for Dow Old Stock Ale features members of the 1932-33 Montreal Maroons along with "The Dow Girl" smack dab in the middle and "Health Itself" to the right below her. Familiar to hockey historians are Lionel Conacher, Hooley Smith, Cy Wentworth, Earl Robinson, Baldy Northcott, Dave Trottier and Paul Haynes. The goaltender is "Flat" Walsh while Hugh Plaxton helps date the piece. A couple of light creases and some age browning/fading to mention along with a slight crack in the upper left corner of the frame. Vintage wooden frame had "Molson’s Brewery Limited" added in gold decals with the first and last letters partially missing. Wonderful display piece of a long gone NHL franchise.
The beauty of the rare photos featured in this incredible collection of hockey memorabilia is not solely in the eye of the beholder, rather it’s obvious to one and all. The pages that follow are filled with incredible treasures such as original team photos of some of the earliest Stanley Cup champions that speak to the great and broad history of the game. Lovingly fashioned by one of the hobby’s most enthusiastic and determined collectors, the remarkable items offered here for auction include some lots that are subject to a silent reserve. We are confident that this truly historical gathering of hockey artifacts and memorabilia will spark the enthusiasm and passion that drive your desire to seek and acquire nothing short of the best.
