Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Fall 2017

Three delectable collectibles related to Montreal's World Wide Gum company's "Ice Kings" issue are on the block here, with wrappers which wrapped the cards joined by a stirring image of Montreal Canadiens' dynamo Aurele Joliat. The latter is best described as an oversized (7" x 9") card (on cardboard stock), with the premium available to collectors who sent in 50 wrappers to the company. The smaller size trading cards were double-wrapped, with the green and purple glassine affair covering up the inner wrapper that advertised the choice of six different big-size premiums. The wrapper states that "ANY ICE KINGS" wrappers could be sent. A few small edge tears affect the multiple-creased outer wrapper here, with creasing also not detracting all that much from the other - these are a sight to behold. The Joliat premium has an attractive crease-free VG-EX appearance but is lowered by minor back damage which you won't be looking at that when this terrific pre-war trio arrives.
