Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction June 2018
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/19/2018
A discipline unfit for those lacking patience, collecting vintage hockey pennants can be a daunting task, with quality examples extremely difficult to locate. We have done the legwork for you, with an absolutely wonderful collection of Original Six pennants totaling 6, with a single example representing each historic club. Highlights include a matching set of earlier player pennants for Boston, Montreal and Toronto, along with a seldom-seen New York Rangers example. The Detroit Red Wings (1969) and Chicago Black Hawks (1970) pennants are more common, with each example in the collection in the 30” range give or take. Each also sports intact original tassels (the Rangers example was designed without tassels).
Each pennant displays exceptional colours and graphics, with almost no wear to the player graphics on the Montreal, Toronto and Boston examples – something rarely seen with this series – with minimal wear to the tassels and tips. The Rangers pennant exhibits a few tears at the tip but displays especially well, with some light discolouration to the white border on the Black Hawks example. We should also note the addition of a grommet centered along the left hand border on the Canadiens pennant.
