This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/28/2023
With only approx 5 or 6 pins known to exist from this series issued in 1904 by "RD", including an Ottawa Senators example we sold previously along with a known pin for Listowel, Ontario, we offer the other 3 known pins including Owen Sound in Ontario, Durham, also in Ontario, and Saskatoon in Saskatchewan, accompanied by a period 1907 hockey team photo showing one of the players wearing one of these actual pins! Measuring approximately 2-3/4" in length, with each stamped "Rd'04" on the reverse, each pin sports enameling across the blade, with a pair of wings added to the Saskatoon pin, with this extension also stamped "Rd'04". Each pin displays beautifully, with the Saskatoon pin in high grade, with some minor damage to the enameling on the Durham pin. The 1907 team photo is framed to full dimensions of 17" x 21", with some wear to the border of the image. For any collector that appreciates extremely rare items... you can now own half of the known pins from this utterly tough set. We should also note that these pins were found one at a time over many years. From the Brent Sobie antique hockey and baseball collection.
