Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Spring 2019
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/18/2019
The joyous Montreal Forum celebration at the conclusion of overtime in Game 5 of the 1953 Stanley Cup finals was immortalized by a photo of Maurice Richard embracing winning-goal scorer Elmer Lach, with the hero earning a ride on the shoulders of Butch Bouchard and the Rocket. The absolute perfect accompanying piece to the historic puck used to score the iconic goal offered in the previous lot, presented to integral Habs blueliner and HOFer Tom Johnson, we have his personal 1953 Stanley Cup championship trophy. The brilliant silver plated copper bowl resembling Lord Stanley's original trophy is engraved "National Hockey League Stanley Cup Winners - Season 1952-53" on one side, and "Club De Hockey Canadien Inc. – Tom Johnson” on the other. The trophy stands 5 1/2" tall and measures 8 3/4" in diameter across the mouth of the bowl. "Sheffield Reproduction", for the pattern/model, and "S.P. Copper" are stamped beneath the base. Beautifully preserved with the original grill cover intact, just light wear is visible throughout, with minor scratches encompassing the engraved text.
