Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction November 2015
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/3/2015
Stunning solid bronze sculpture of Maurice “Rocket” Richard was produced in limited quantities in 1999 not long before his death sent the hockey world into mourning. The statue, set on a diamond-shaped granite base that measures approximately 7” x 16” and stands just over 9” tall, was part of a series of sculptures produced for fundraising purposes on behalf of the Maurice Richard Foundation two years after a bronze monument of the Rocket was unveiled. The limited-edition number "102/299" is stamped between Richard's skates on the rear of the bronze base. “Never give up" appears on the bronze piece of "ice" that includes the legend's engraved facsimile autograph. This exquisite piece is one that can be displayed at various angles, all offering a superb image of the incomparable Rocket.
The original black felt applied underneath the base has come loose from its adhesive on one end.
