Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction September 2024
Winning three straight James Norris Trophy’s from 1963-65 as the league’s best defenceman, Pierre Pilote would play 890 games in the NHL, with all but 69 matches played with the Chicago Black Hawk, winning a Stanley Cup with the Windy City club in 1961. Inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1975 and having had his number "3" raised to the rafters of the United Center in 2008, offered here is this collection of memorabilia from Pilote's personal collection.
Led off by a trophy presented to hockey legend for his participation on the winning team of the 1995 Oshawa Golf Club Celebrity Classic, the roughly 16 1/2" tall award features an 11 1/2" figure of a man putting atop a 5" tall wooden base. Featuring a black chrome on top of gold information plaque on the front that reads "Celebrity Class - Oshawa Golf Club - 1995 First Place Team" the award, made by Golfinn International with their sticker affixed on the interior of the base, the piece remains in overall good condition with light wear from handling and display to the base.
Next, included is a pair of 1993 coffee table books titled "Hockey Hall of Fame Legends". Each featuring plain black covers with gold foil lettering for the titles, a "Bell Celebrity Golf Classic" logo is found in matching style at the bottom of both front covers. Both complete with all 200 pages present on the interior of each book and remaining in overall beautiful condition, each has been signed on the inside of the front covers by approximately twenty (20) and twenty-two (22) legends respectively, including names such as; Frank Mahovlich, Pierre Pilote, Marcel Dionne, Brad Park, Johnny Bucyk, Bernie Parent, Guy Carbonneau, Rod Gilbert, Yvan Cournoyer, Steve Shutt, Peter Stastny and many others. All signed in black marker, all the autographs remain in excellent condition overall.
