This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/22/2010
This pair of gauntlets protected The Great One's multi-million-dollar mitts during the 1996-97 NHL campaign in the Big Apple. Custom long-cuff Easton Air 99 gloves in the colours of the New York Rangers with heavy tan leather palms. Open cuff style with the embroidered Easton label stitched to each cuff. This pair displays several weeks worth of wear across the knuckles with some good stick marks and board paint transfer up on the wrist rolls. The included letter of provenance on Wayne Gretzky Roller Hockey Centers letterhead details that the gloves were given by Gretzky to the centre under the guidance of his former agent, Mike Barnett. When the business closed in 2004 they were gifted to the Center's director in appreciation for his seven years at the helm. The letter is signed at the bottom by the former director of the building behind the Wayne Gretzky signage, Douglas Jones. Well-worn and certainly well-documented... you can't do better than that
