Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Spring 2021
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/30/2021
“The Trail of the Stanley Cup" is a definite prerequisite to any important hockey library. Author Charles Coleman's complete history of hockey and Lord Stanley's trophy from 1893 to 1967 is contained within these three books. Only 1,000 copies of the special leather-bound editions of the first and second volumes were produced and presented to important hockey figures, while the third was limited to 1,500 copies. We have a three volume set, with each the desirable leather-bound editions, with the first two volumes originally presented to Jack McCarthy, with each numbered “347” (volume one also has a McCarthy NHL bookplate). The third volume is numbered “1304”, with volumes one and two accompanied by their original attractive black slip covers with gilded images of the Stanley Cup.
All three volumes show light handling wear, with a few tears to the plastic cover on volume II. The slip covers also show some surface wear, with a separation to each along the seams.
