Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Spring 2022
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 5/31/2022
Classic and ever-popular Shirriff hockey coins from 1961-62 are offered here in a unique and captivating fashion, held in their familiar plastic “shields” and matted and framed against a velvet-looking background. The gold rectangle that surrounds the players and matches the gold on each shield is a neat touch, with the ensemble professionally framed to a big (approximately) 26” by 41”. Plexiglas covers the coins and they display beautifully with no unsightly toning to the creamy backgrounds. The Maple Leafs dethroned the Black Hawks as Stanley Cup champions the season that the plastic discs were found in boxes of Salada Tea and packages of Shirriff dessert products, with superstars Howe, Sawchuk, Hull, Mikita, Beliveau, Plante, Richard, Mahovlich and other Hall of Famers leading the roster of 120. As you can see, the Tim Horton coin has become dislodged and that of Terry Sawchuk has “turned” and that’s a possibility for others when the piece is shipped. Nonetheless, a special piece awaits your special room.
