A rarely seen transitional-style glove, we have an ambidextrous blocker/glove most likely hailing from the late-1940s when netminders like Bill Durnan and Harry Lumley were guarding the crease. Produced by Quebec sporting good retailer Daignault-Rolland with just traces of the original cloth label, the company’s stamped logo is visible but heavily faded, with the original tie-string along the wrist section intact. Called “ambidextrous” due to both the blocker and glove being exactly the same, with the outer cover of a blocker, but with the early style “pocket” later developed fully for the modern style trapper. The lacing around the pocket is lost, with heavy wear to the surface from prolonged use, with a large hole over the palm area along with a smaller example at the bottom of the thumb. The lacing was also changed that secures the finger section to the reverse of the blocker padding, most likely contemporary to use. This example would fit nicely into any advanced equipment or goaltender collection, with this style of “transitional” glove only seeing use for a short period of time.
