Issued in 1968-69 and featuring the Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs, the Post hockey marbles promotion was complete at 30 (15 marbles for each team), with a game board available through a mail-in promotion by sending cash and box tops from specially marked Post Cereal boxes. Offered here, we present this collection of the desirable hockey marbles that includes two (2) complete sets, including one (1) with all thirty (30) in their original plastic, a game board and sixteen (16) extras including a complete set of Montreal Canadiens offerings. For the marbles, the Canadiens contingent includes Beliveau, Cournoyer, Ferguson, Lemaire, Richard, Rousseau, Savard, Vachon, Worsley, Backstrom, Harper, Harris, Laperriere and the Tremblays, while the Leafs feature the images of Carleton, Ellis, Gamble, Henderson, Horton, Oliver, Pelyk, Pulfod, Smith, Ullman, Bower, Keon, Pilote, Pronovost and Walton. With most still housed in their original plastic bags and remaining in excellent condition while showing just light signs of age along with the occasional mark, the marbles not fortunate enough to be new-old-stock are still found in excellent condition with just light wear while one complete set of thirty (30) is affixed to foam pads on the underside with adhesive and displayed on a custom third party stand done in team colours. For the included extras, totalling twenty-four (24), another complete set of Montreal marbles is featured plus more including Beliveau (NIB), Cournoyer (NIB x2), Ferguson (x2 - NIB and Loose), Lemaire (NIB), Richard (NIB), Rousseau (NIB), Savard (NIB), Vachon (Loose), Worsley (NIB), Backstrom (NIB x2), Harper (Loose), Harris (Loose), Laperriere (Loose) and the Tremblay's (J.C. - NIB x2 / Gillies - Loose) while Toronto marbles feature Oliver (Loose), Pelyk (NIB), Smith (NIB), Walton (NIB) and Ullman (NIB). For the game board, still accompanied by its original box with all the labels over the front of the box and instructions sheets, 15" x 23" plastic construction board remains in excellent condition with no cracks while light wear is present in the form of some light marks/stains and toning.
