This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 9/20/2022
Well-used fiber glass mask is the style donned by Jacques Plante towards the end of his illustrious pro career and christened "Futuramic" by the famous mask-producer, with this example featuring the signature of HOF netminder Gerry Cheevers. The "full wraparound" model was designed to protect the face, top of the head, ears and temple. The straps and plastic back plate are still present, with most of the foam padding to the interior not original, but appearing period. Strips of foam padding to the interior are not the original. Numerous marks, scrapes, chips and surface abrasions are visible, adding charm to the rock-solid headgear. Cheevers has signed in black marker, adding a famous stitch mark along with “HOF 85”. An absolute prerequisite for any advanced goaltender mask collection, vintage specimens signed by legendary keepers rarely surface.
