Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Fall 2018
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/6/2018
A rare opportunity, Classic Auctions is pleased to announce yet another partnership with the historic Montreal Canadiens franchise, one that will bring to auction a large and impressive bounty of jerseys fresh from the vast and seldom offered holdings of the storied hockey club. Examples are present from 2003-04 to 2014-15, with both important game-issued and game-worn jerseys offered, with a direct line from the actual player and the Canadiens franchise – to you, our loyal bidders. Each desirable jersey has inventory numbers from the Canadiens, with each to be accompanied by a letter of authenticity on Canadiens letterhead.
Known for his physical play, winger Raitis Ivanans went undrafted, with time in the NHL spent with LA, Calgary and Montreal. We have a Canadiens "1945-46 Vintage Set" jersey that was issued to Ivanans, and prepared for his use for the December 13th 2005 contest against Phoenix. Size “60” tagging sits along the collar, with embroidered NHL and CCM crests over the reverse bottom hem. Styled with the famous CH team crest that’s been partially embroidered, the solid white throwback jersey has been accented with tri-colour tackle twill sleeve and verso numbers, with the vintage “V” crest just above the right breast. Issued but never worn, the jersey remains in wonderful condition. Patches from the Canadiens (A02899) and MeiGray (C05302) are affixed to the inside hem, while a hologram affixed to the reverse number “3” matches the accompanying LOA from the Canadiens. We should note that according to the LOA, due to the lockout during the 2004-05 season, this jersey was actually prepared for use in 2005-06. It should be further noted that these “vintage” alternate style jerseys only saw use for three seasons.
