Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction February 2024
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/20/2024
Wonderful original and unique framed vintage artwork featuring HOFers Turk Broda, Lester Patrick, Red Dutton and Dit Clapper is offered, with these displays likely originating from Toe Blake's tavern (we previously sold matching-style Nels Stewart artwork that originated from the tavern, with the offered displays showing the same condition issues as the Stewart including yellowing, staining and wrinkling of the material). Each set in frames to full dimensions of approx 25" x 31", the Patrick was done by Toronto Maple Leafs program artist Lou Skuce - who has been called "Canada's Greatest Artist" - with the other three executed by Fred Groves. All four displays show wear and tear from their likely decades hanging on a wall constantly engulfed with cigarette smoke. The Patrick shows the greatest condition concerns with heavy water staining. These unique beauties are screaming for prominent display.
