Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction February 2025
A pair spanning the majority of the Original Six era, we have a collection of two Art Ross Tyer NHL game pucks. Included, we have an example that started the modern era of pucks, with a 1942-50 Art Ross Tyer - Buffalo puck with small hexagon logo on one side and a 1962-64 Art Ross Tyer round crested patent number puck, the earliest slug of the two (2) present in the group shows some surface and edge throughout its entirety and all the way around that is worth mentioning for accuracy, as well as some light wear to the crest on the front, some small chips/gashes around the edges and finally, larger gashes over both faces. The biscuit from 1962-64 sports a good logo with just a few marks through it as well as cuts and small gashes over the edge and both faces. Hailing from the personal collection of Frank Brown, a Classic Auctions LOA will accompany the piece.
Publishing his first paid hockey article in a New York Rangers game program in 1970 that earned him a total of fifty ($50) dollars, from there, Frank Brown began his career as a journalist for The Associated Press, typically covering the Montreal Canadiens. Under the leadership of Stan Fischler, Brown stated he learned the "courage of my convictions" after being handed Gordie Howe's phone number. Moving on to the New York Daily News in 1980, where he would remain until 1998, when he joined the National Hockey League as a communication executive, a position he would hold with the league until his retirement in 2018. He was awarded the Elmer Ferguson Memorial Award by the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2019.
