Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Fall 2022
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 9/20/2022
Still an especially fierce competitor and dominant force despite a veteran of almost two decades of NHL hockey, a young Stan Mikita learnt a valuable lesson after slashing Gordie Howe early in his career and calling the superstar “an old man”, with Mr Hockey returning the kindness to the rookie with a check that caused a concussion. From the era when the legendary superstar was anything but washed-up, we have a signed stick used by Howe in the early-to-mid-1960s. A Northland Pro Glass Fused model with “Howe” stamped to the upper shaft, additional stamps from team supplier Olympic grace each side of the shaft, with the original black tape in place on the blade and handle. Showing nice game-use with marks and wear to the shaft and additional marks to the blade and heel, there is wear to the underside blade including chipping, with a small chip also visible at the toe. There is also a fine line crack near the heel (the stick remains completely solid). Howe has added a large and flawless black marker signature to the frontside shaft. An auction house LOA will accompany.
