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 that was 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 for its Bee Hive photos. The gilt-lacquered stick measure 3" long and exhibits only light surface wear, with a bit of chipping to the upper right corner of the lucite dome, with this not affecting the integrity/display value of the piece. 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 coveted, seldom offered piece, this fabulous find will greatly enhance your Bee Hive/Rocket Richard shrine!
