Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Fall 2011
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/1/2011
Here is a likely unique piece of Canadian football history - a menu from the Astor Hotel, autographed by two dozen footballers who took part in the 1956 All-Star Game, played December 6, 1956 at Vancouver's Empire Stadium and actually before the official creation of the CFL. Sam Etcheverry's signature is through the "H" of Hotel, while other Hall-of-Famers who we spot are Hal Patterson, Vince Scott, Pete Neumann, Dick Shatto and Bruce Coulter, with "Chester" Gilchrist also notable. The dinner menu measures a big 10" by 13" and is pierced just below "Menu". West beat the East 35-0, with more signers listed on our website. We also can decipher Jim Norman, Tom Hugo, Don Pinkney, Steve Oneschuk, Bucky Curtis, Pete Bennett, Tom Mara, “Tex” Robinson, Bill Albright, Cam Fraser, John Blaicher, Dopug McNichol, Tony Curcillo, Ken Vargo, Larry Hayes and Eddie Becan. Great blue ballpoint sigs!
