Known for his quickness and masterful passing skills, Buddy O'Connor represented the New York Rangers in the 1949 NHL All-Star Game played in Toronto. The third annual game saw the All-Stars beat the defending Stanley Cup champion Maple Leafs 3-1. The day had begun with an All-Star luncheon at the Royal York Hotel where participants received commemorative silver-plated table lighters. Engraved on the side of this one is: "Presented to Herbert O'Connor - Player - Third Annual NHL All-Star Game at Toronto Oct. 10th 1949". Exhibiting light tarnish, the gift, which allowed the players a relaxing smoke for brief social diversion, was originally obtained from Buddy O'Connor's family. Neat All-Star game memorabilia!
