Exceptionally stunning and desirable New York Rangers jersey was originally obtained from Tim Horton’s widow, Lori, and conjures up the recounting of how not many NHL defencemen were as effective into their forties as Horton was. He was the oldest d-man on the Maple Leafs’ blueline by 16 years in 1969-70 when he was dealt to the Rangers on March 3rd, suiting up for New York for 15 games down the stretch. Considered hockey’s strongest man, Tim played the full 78-game schedule for the Blueshirts in ‘70-71 and 13 more in the playoffs. Shocking durene knit beauty here is tagged in the inner left hip by Gerry Crosby, with a size 48 tag also present. Tie-neck style sweater looks to still have the original lace making its way through the six eyelets. The classic “Rangers” in two-tone tackle twill letters is sewn diagonally down the front, with similar individual letters spelling out “Horton” above Tim’s number “3”, stitched to the back. We spot light but definite game use, with a couple of black marks on each sleeve and two blue paint transfers at the right elbow. A total of nine small, barely detectable holes in the blue shoulder yolk are also to mention. Preserved in phenomenal condition, the dazzling jersey will come with a letter of provenance and will be a highlight of your Horton/Rangers display. The jersey is registered with the MeiGray Group (registration number 132494).
