Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Winter 2019
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/26/2019
Taking place in Anaheim California on Feb 13th 1972, the newly formed World Hockey Association held its first draft, with the inaugural season slated for October. We have a 16mm film of the first draft, with this possibly the earliest footage of the fledgling league. The film reel is approx 7” in diameter, with a patent number stamped along with “Made in USA”, with the original bronze-coloured film canister included. A copy of a photo of the draft has been affixed to the canister, along with a small typed wire photo description. We should also note that according to our consignor, the film originates from the original PR director hired by the WHA. With the reel in excellent condition and wear along with clear tape to the film canister, we’re unable to report if the footage remains playable.
