Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Spring 2022
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 5/31/2022
“The Trail of the Stanley Cup" is a definite prerequisite to any important hockey library. Author Charles Coleman's complete history of hockey and Lord Stanley's trophy from 1893 to 1967 is contained within these three books. Only 1,000 copies of the special leather-bound editions of the first and second volumes were produced and presented to important hockey figures, while the third was limited to 1,500 copies. We have a matching leather-bound three volume set, with all three numbered “390” (Volume 1 entails 1893-1926, Volume 2 1927-1946, and Volume 3 1947-1967). The NHL bookplate usually found in Volume 1 states that this set was originally presented by the NHL to Allsion Walsh. Volume 1 is also signed on the first page by author Coleman, which is rarely found with any surviving volumes. All three books show just light handling wear, with the second Volume sporting a clear plastic dust jacket.
