Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Fall 2013

It is the voice of Forum announcer Claude Mouton that is etched in the minds and memories of so many hockey fans, a booming voice from the man who not only was behind the microphone but also a man who served as the Canadiens public relations director from 1969 until his passing in 1993. Offered is Mr. Mouton's Stanley Cup ring from the Canadiens second of four Cup wins between 1976 to 1979, when the team was a formidable machine with the likes of Lafleur, Shutt, Robinson, Dryden and so many more gracing the ice. This incredibly beautiful size 11 Stanley Cup ring, weighing in at about 36 grams, has the iconic CH on the face, set in diamonds, surrounded by the raised gold letters spelling out "NHL Champions" on a black background. A raised Stanley Cup, "1977" and "Mouton" adorn one shank, while the other shank features "Club De Hockey Canadien, Champions Est-East". Below is "60-8-12" reflecting the team's regular season mark, giving the Canadiens an amazing 132 points for the season which remains a league record. Inside the band of this magnificent bauble is engraved "Josten's 14K", along with Mouton's facsimile autograph. This beautifully-preserved ring contains all but two diamonds - one at the top, second from right, and one at the bottom, 5th from right, which have been replaced with zirconias. This ring is in wonderful and clean condition, with only extremely slight scratching and scuffing, and comes in its small and original presentation box. An LOA from Classic Auctions is included.
