Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction June 2016
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/15/2016
The darling little plastic discs which started a three-year run of Shirriff/Salada hockey “coins” in 1960-61 are featured here, but are considered a special “souvenir” set, affixed to a special board, making for an awesome display. Thought to have been presented to team owners and managers in appreciation of their participation in the promotion, (which saw the coins included in packages of dessert products), such displays were not available to the public and rarely surface. Showing signs of having been hung and enjoyed, the coins exhibit some dust on the upper edges, with coin #120-Schmidt present but requiring re-gluing, similar to a chipped #110-Toppazzini coin which is taped into place. Dust on the clear “windows” covering each image is also likely improvable/removable. With dinged/chipped bottom corners, the half-inch thick board still has its original cord on the reverse intact, enabling the lucky new owner to hang it immediately upon arrival, or at least right after a little clean-up job. Howe, Sawchuk, Beliveau, Geoffrion, Plante, Mahovlich, Horton, Hull, Mikita, Hall – oh, the good old Original Six era!
