Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction June 2023
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/27/2023
A dandy piece to intrigue serious vintage hockey card and wrapper collectors is this little treasure, exactly like one that was found with an Imperial Tobacco "C57" card inside! The outer cardboard box, which slides over the other that housed the cigarettes (six smokes), measures approximately 2" by 3". Tattered on the reverse and top with small tears, soiling, liquid staining and creasing, it should also be mentioned that the excise tax stamp at the top is mostly worn out while the front graphics display well with good colours. The C57 set was a 50-card affair that featured players who skated in the NHA, PCHA and OHA. Possible pulls from a pack of Derby Cigarettes included the rookie cards of Broadbent and Benedict, along with big stars Vezina, Lalonde, Taylor, Ross, Patrick, Malone and the Cleghorns. Special piece awaits its place in a Hall of Fame-caliber vintage collectibles shrine.
