One of the game’s all-time greatest scorers, Ron Francis saw action in over 1,700 contests throughout his 23 NHL seasons, and was second only to Wayne Gretzky for career assists upon his retirement in 2004. The 2007 HOF inductee also earned considerable hardware including the Frank J. Selke, Lady Byng and a pair of Stanley Cups. From the mid-to-late-1990s, we have a signed stick used by the superstar, with this specific type of model used by Francis during his final seasons in Pittsburgh as well as his first season in Carolina (1998-99). A Franklin 8050 Graphite model with inserted Franklin Pro wooden blade, the original white cloth wrap on the knob with “10” handwritten is intact, with the blade tape removed. Light game-use is shown with a few marks to the shaft and minor wear to the blade and wrapped handle. Francis has signed across the frontside blade in silver. Hailing from the Dino Ciccarelli personal collection and originally obtained by Ciccarelli for his father who is now deceased, a signed LOA from Dino Ciccarelli will accompany.
