Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction June 2023
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/27/2023
Rarely offered as a complete set, we have a group of 6 1962 Original Six dark hair nodder/bobble heads, with each NHL team represented including the key doll, the Boston Bruins. Extremely fragile and easily susceptible to damage, these 6" nodders feature team decals to the chest and base. The group present wonderfully with beautiful paint and literally no wear to the team decals except for "Boston" over the base. Regarding any condition issues, the Canadiens doll sports a fine hairline from the bottom of the right ear to the base, while the Bruins, Red Wings, Black Hawks and Rangers dolls have some minor damage and loss at the base of the head. The Rangers doll also has an indentation to the chest. The Maple Leaf doll also show some very minor damage at the base of each head, but no material loss. Lastly, the Chicago doll has sleeve and verso number decals (#18), along with tomahawk logos to the shoulders - something we have never seen before, that may have been added. The majority of the dolls are stamped "1962" and "Japan" to the underside of each base. This lot and many others in this auction hail from an advanced NHL and CFL nodder/bobbing head collection.
Addendum: Upon closer inspection with a blacklight, the Red Wings doll has colour that was added to the head. Additionally, the Bruins doll had the head spring re-glued to the neck.
