Referred to by collectors as Cowan Tiles, these 6” by 6” ceramic affairs were reportedly meant to be sold at NHL arenas, but speculation is that licensing issues led to them never being released to the public, and despite most apparently being destroyed, a fairly large number has survived. “SCREENART PRODUCTS LTD. – Made in Canada” is printed on the cork backing of each and we offer a partial set of 27 tiles, which accounts for approx 25% of the complete set, including 12 of the 19 Montreal tiles. Included, tiles are present for Montreal players Goyette (spotting), Fontinato, JC Tremblay, G Tremblay, Berenson, Geoffrion, Beliveau, Rousseau, Richard, Gauthier (no backing), Maniago and Ralph Backstrom, followed by Bower, Nevin and Tim Horton from Toronto, Balon, Harvey, Patrick, Langlois (2), Howell, Horvath, Cahan and Andy Hebenton for New York, Pronovost (no hanging loop) and Young for Detroit, and Williams (no backing) for the Bruins. The tiles remain in like new condition unless otherwise noted, with the majority housed in their original boxes.
