Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Spring 2022
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 5/31/2022
Joining once again, in collaboration with the Montreal Canadiens, Classic Auctions is pleased to offer a large collection of artifacts and memorabilia from the storied club's comprehensive archives. A number of historic specimens direct from the famous team including unique displays that were once marvelously displayed in the hallowed Montreal Forum and later at the Bell Centre are available, with an endless array of legendary and monumental players featured that all proudly once donned the sacred jersey of the mighty Montreal Canadiens.
This image perfectly captures the aftermath of a Jean Beliveau goal at the Montreal Forum. As he skates away ready to celebrate with teammates, the grim look from fellow Hall of Famer Harry Howell, an upset Arnie Brown, and an unidentified sprawling goaltender shows the agony of defeat. Offered here is a fine framed photo display featuring that moment, with the modern print matted. The frame does have some white paint on top and some mild damage on the front of the frame and its corners. On the back, there are some holes which were made when the display was mounted along with removable grooved plastic pieces that helped hold it in place and a water stain on the backing paper, but this should in no way take away from your enjoyment of this unique piece. Direct from the archives of the Montreal Canadiens, this framed display was likely displayed at the Montreal Forum and possibly later on at the Molson Centre/Bell Centre. An LOA from Classic Auctions will be included.
