The Jacques Laperriere Auction - Fall 2008
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/21/2008
The No. 9 on the side of this green and blue Hartford Whalers equipment bag leaves no doubt as to who it belonged to, the one and only Mr. Hockey, Gordie Howe. The legendary right wing returned to the NHL for one final season in 1979-80 when the Whalers joined the league as one of four WHA teams to survive the merger between the two professional leagues. The heavy canvas bag has its original C./B. Sports Inc. tag sewn onto it from its Malden, Mass., manufacturer. Howe has signed in blue marker above the No. 9 on one side of the bag. Howe certainly got plenty of use out of the bag, which exhibits great wear. A fantastic personal item from the last hurrah of one of the greatest players to ever play the game.
