This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/16/2020
Serious Bee Hive collectors, along with Maurice Richard aficionados, will be excited with the chance to score this scarce tie clip picturing the legend in his prime and originally offered through a mail-in promotion. The hockey stick tie clips joined rings and pins in a two-year promotion launched in 1949 by the St. Lawrence Starch Company, already popular and famous then for its Bee Hive photos. The gilt-lacquered stick measure 3" long and exhibits only light wear/fine scuffing to the stick and to the 3/4" Lucite dome. The tie clips, rings and pins were all available back in the day for 25 cents each, along with a product label or box top from the Port Credit, Ontario company. A 3 ½" x 10" magazine ad for the tie clips is also included. A coveted, seldom offered piece, the fabulous find will greatly enhance a Bee Hive/Rocket Richard shrine!
