Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction October 2016
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/9/2016
Always a hit with collectors, vintage hockey calendars make the perfect display piece due to their size and subject matter. This lot contains a collection of 7 assorted Toronto Maple Leafs examples, along with 5 signed MLG cheques. We have calendars for 1958, 1963, 1971, 1973, 1974, 1980 and 1982. The earlier examples are all roughly 16 ½” x 25 ½” give or take, while the examples from 1980 and 1982 are approx. 18” x 21 ½”. The cheques total 5, with the highlight being an example made out to Viceroy signed by Harold Ballard. The others were made out to Stan Weir, Jimmy Jones, Tim Ecclestone and A. Lawrence. All ranging in size from roughly 3 ½” x 8 ½” (the Jimmy Jones cheque is smaller), each remains in very good condition, with the Ballard signature exemplary.
The calendars all exhibits some issues as each has been rolled. The earlier examples also suffer from a few edge tears along with dog-eared corners and tape repairs on the 1958 example. There is also some creasing, toning and light staining present, and despite these factors, most will display beautifully when flattened and framed. We should also note that a few have bent handing rods along the top sections.
