Description
Vintage circa late 1950's Montreal Canadiens professional game sweater. As was common in the day it was at some point recycled and when I purchased it several years ago had an Ottawa Capitals Crest (itself vintage) sewn over top of the Canadiens crest, it will be included. I contacted Classic Auctions with pictures of the sweater a few years ago and was given the opinion that this was very likely a pro/club game jersey. The sweater has several small holes and a larger hole near the right elbow and other typical wear but displays beautifully and definitely worthy of some more research. Some initial indications this is a pro jersey include the grommets, elbow reinforcements and quality of the stitching. Rough measurements: 27" long from top of back collar, 22" pit to pit, 21" sleeves. Free shipping in North America
