The Jean Beliveau Auction- February 2005
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/22/2005
What a piece of Leafs history! Still with its original knob and blade tape jobs, this Cal Gardner stick has "17" added twice on the shaft in black marker. "Brown's Sports" is stamped on each side of the shaft as is "Love & Bennett Ltd." near the blade. Twenty members of the Leafs team which won the Stanley Cup in the spring of '51 on Bill Barilko's famous overtime goal against the Canadiens autographed the same side of the shaft. Highlights are coach Joe Primeau, Barilko, Ted Kennedy, Max Bentley, Turk Broda, Al Rollins, Harry Watson, Sid Smith, Fern Flaman and Gardner. Others are Mortson, Lewicki, Thompson, Juzda, Meeker, Klukay, McCormack, Timgren, Hassard and Bolton, making for a true team-signed piece. Several of the signatures have somewhat faded over the past five decades, but hey, we can make them all out and the Primeau, Barilko and Kennedy sigs are among the best. Stick shows some splitting at the heel of the blade but remains solid. Remarkable, thought-provoking souvenir to cherish for future decades.
