Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction September 2024
Playing his college hockey with the University of Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs and representing Team USA at the 1984 Winter Olympic Games in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, Bob Mason would go on to play a total of 145 games over the course of his eight (8) year National Hockey League career with the likes of the Washington Capitals, Chicago Blackhawks, Quebec Nordiques and Vancouver Canucks. Serving as the goalie coach for the Minnesota Wild between 2002 and 2020, offered here is this Capitals jersey worn by Mason during the 1986-87 season in which he went 20-18-5 in 45 games played. An Ultrafil knit garment made by CCM that is missing most of the labeling that was once affixed to the inner collar, the jersey's born-on date tag reading "86 04" is still partially attached while a "small block" CCM logo has been embroidered into the reverse hem. Decorated over the front of the jersey with a Capitals team crest in individually sewn on tackle twill letters, "Washington" has been embroidered into the front in red thread and single layer red and blue tackle twill stars are present over the front and both sleeves. Accented over the sleeves and verso with Mason's number "31" in dual layer blue-over-red tackle twill numerals, "Mason" is spelt out in single layer blue twill letters across the affixed matching nameplate at the top of the reverse. Measuring out to roughly a size "54" for its effort and accompanied by a Byron's HockeyLand LOA, the jersey displays game-wear via a couple of light puck marks over the right sleeve as well as a couple of slash marks over the sleeves and upper front. Additionally, light pilling is present over the outside of both cuffs and heavy staining/discoloration is observed throughout the entirety of the piece. Additionally, the letters across the nameplate show numerous popped seams that is worth mentioning for accuracy and interior of the jersey shows heavy rusting to the fight strap and more pilling throughout.
