Referred to by collectors as Cowan Tiles, these 6” by 6” ceramic affairs were reportedly meant to be sold at NHL arenas but speculation is that licensing issues led to them never being released to the public, and despite most apparently being destroyed, a fairly large number has survived. “SCREENART PRODUCTS LTD. – Made in Canada” is printed on the cork backing of each and we offer a partial set of 40 tiles. Included by team, there are 13 tiles for Montreal; Goyette, Fontinato, JC Tremblay, G Tremblay, Berenson, Geoffrion, Beliveau, Talbot, Richard, Rousseau, Gauthier (no cork backing), Maniago and Backstrom. There are 8 tiles for Toronto; Bower (no hanging loop), Baun (cracked), Keon (chipped corner - no cork backing), Nevin (no hanging loop), Kelly, Horton (small tear to corking on reverse), Harris and Stewart. There are 14 tiles for the Rangers; Balon, Harvey, Patrick, Howell, Langlois, Worsley, Ingarfield (staining bottom right), Horvath, Ratelle, Bathgate, Cahan, Hadfield, Hampson and Hebenton. There are 4 tiles for the Red Wings; Howe, Pronovost, Young and Ullman (no cork backing). Lastly, there is 1 tile for the Bruins; Williams (no cork backing). The majority of the tiles are in like-new condition and come in their original individual boxes, with just a few sporting tiny blemishes unless otherwise noted.
