VINTAGE MONTREAL CANADIENS ISSUE TONY ESPOSITO VICTORIAVILLE HOCKEY GOALIE STICK

Description

HERE'S SOMETHING YOU DON'T SEE EVERYDAY.
FIRST LET US START BY SAYING WE ARE NOT SURE WHAT THIS STICK REALLY IS OR ISN'T.
IT COULD BE A TEAM ISSUED OR STORE MODEL STICK...WE JUST DON'T KNOW.
THAT BEING SAID,LETS ADDRESS WHAT WE DO KNOW.
THIS IS A LATE 1960'S-EARLY 1970'S VICTORIAVILLE TONY ESPOSITO HOCKEY STICK.
THIS IS A STILL BRAND NEW,NEVER BEEN USED 45-50 YEAR OLD,FULL SIZE,"REAL" HOCKEY STICK....NOT ONE OF THOSE MODERN DAY RE-ISSUE OR THROWBACK STICKS,BUT AN ACTUAL STICK FROM WAY BACK IN THE DAY.
TONY ESPOSITO STARTED HIS CAREER AND ACTUALLY WON THE STANLEY CUP WITH THE MONTREAL CANADIENS.
WHILE WITH MONTREAL,ESPOSITO'S STICK OF CHOICE WAS IN FACT A VICTORIAVILLE,RATHER THAN THE MORE FAMILIAR NORTHLAND THAT WAS HIS STICK OF CHOICE ONCE JOINING THE CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS.
ALSO POINTING TO THE MONTREAL CANADIENS,IS THE TEAM COLORED CELLULOID ACCENT TAPE ON THE PADDLE AND HANDLE OF THIS OLD STICK.
INTERESTING IS THE FACT THAT T.ESPOSITO IS STAMPED AT THE TOP PART OF THE SHAFT,AND WHAT WOULD APPEAR TO BE A STAMPED,FACSIMILE AUTOGRAPH ALSO RESIDES ON ANOTHER SIDE OF THE UPPER SHAFT....SEE PICTURES.
WHATEVER THIS STICK MAY OR MAY NOT BE...IT IS STILL BEYOND RARE AND UNIQUE AND A MUST FOR THE TONY ESPOSITO COLLECTOR.
PLEASE EXAMINE ALL OF THE PICTURES AND CONSIDER THEM AS PART OF THE STICKS DESCRIPTION.
WE ARE SELLING THIS STICK STRICTLY AS IS,WITH NO GUARANTEES OR PROMISES AS TO WHAT IT MAY OR MAY NOT BE.
THANKS FOR LOOKING AND GOOD LUCK !
