Featuring the heavily collected Original Six club, the Detroit Red Wings, we have a rarely seen grouping of vintage game-used sticks totaling 5, with a trio of additional examples included. Ranging from the mid-1960s to early-1970s, we have Northland, CCM and Victoriaville models present, with the Red Wings sticks wielded by Lynn Libett, Gary Bergman, Floyd Smith, Hank Monteith and Tim Ecclestone, with the additional sticks used by Derek Sanderson (Bruins), Brit Selby (Maple Leafs) and Bob Woytowich (Penguins). Each stick sports the player’s name (except one), with the original tape jobs over both the blades and handles (the Sanderson has had the blade tape removed). We should also note that the Selby, Bergman and Smith sticks have been signed, with the Libett stick team-signed.
A more detailed account of each stick is as follows; Lynn Libett circa 1972-73 Red Wings game-used team-signed Northland stick, includes sigs of Alex Delvecchio, Gary Bergman, Bill Collins, Garnett "Ace Bailey", Ken Murray, Tim Ecclestone and others. Floyd Smith circa 1967-68 Red Wings signed game-used Northland stick with "November 9 (67) 1G - 1A" annotation and “1967” handwritten. Gary Bergman circa early-1970s Red Wings signed Koho International game-used stick, with heavy wear to the lower shaft and blade, with the blade tape possibly not original. Tim Ecclestone early-1970s Red Wings game-used Victoriaville stick, with “17” handwritten and light use. Hank Monteith late-1960s/early-1970s Red Wings game-used Northland stick, with Olympic supplier stamp, with a large section of the shaft broken off. Brit Selby mid-1960s Toronto Maple Leafs signed game-used CCM stick, 15 has been stamped-on, with a stamp from supplier Browns. Bob Woytowich circa 1969-70 Pittsburgh Penguins game-used Victoriaville stick, with no name stamped, along with added labels that state “Bob Woytowichs Game Stick Used Feb 15, 1970 Score Pitts. 4 Det. 2”. Derek Sanderson circa late-1960s Bruins game-used "banana blade" Northland stick, nice use is exhibited, with a strand of tape added over the upper shaft.
