Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction - June 2009
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/16/2009
Vintage hockey advertising doesn’t get much better than this. Vibrant colors and a crystal clear photo of Hall of Fame goaltender Walter "Turk" Broda grace the circa late-1940s advertising display for CCM skates and sticks. The thick cardboard ad mentions the Maple Leafs’ goalie as the Vezina Trophy winner for 1947-48. The company’s "pitch" at the bottom reads "CCM’s - The Joy of Amateurs, The Pride of Professionals". This is a rare one that we’ve never seen before and is in sensational near mint condition. It has been professionally incorporated into a 28" x 25" framed display along with a reproduction photograph and a nice ballpoint signature. Outstanding!
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.
