Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction June 2018
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/19/2018
Designed to house a desirable card from the 1923-24 V122 Willard’s Chocolates multi-sport card set, we have a scarce original wrapper. Issued in the early-1920s and covering a plethora of contemporary athletic pursuits, the 56 card set featured just 4 examples profiling hockey, with the wrappers redeemable for prizes issued for both boys and girls when 100 were sent to the confectioner’s Toronto plant. At 4” x 4 ½”, the thin paper-stock package that originally housed a “Sports Nut Bar” feature’s the full colour image of a runner, with the tag line “A Picture in Every Bar”. With brilliant colours and expected fold lines, a small piece of clear tape has been utilized on the reverse, with a roughly 1” edge tear remaining along with some minor creasing.
