This striking Russian nesting doll is a colourful piece of memorabilia from the legendary 1972 Summit Series. Originally part of the Alan Eagleson collection, the 8"-tall wooden doll is one of the various sizes gifted to Team Canada players by their Soviet Union national team opponents prior to Game 4 of the series. The September 8, 1972 game in Vancouver resulted in a 5-3 win for the Soviets, which drew boos for Team Canada from the Pacific Coliseum crowd, prompting Phil Esposito to deliver a passionate and unforgettable post-game speech when he was interviewed on national TV. A very desirable piece for any Summit Series display, this remarkably light thin wooden two-piece affair with vibrant colors remains in beautiful condition overall.
