Getting cross-checked with this baby meant you might be picking splinters out of your face for weeks. The smooth yet strop-tough vintage hockey stick from 1927 has the original green and black Lovell paper label reading "High Grade -- Hand Made", "Second Growth Rock Elm " and "Well Seasoned Selected Quality," though other parts of the label have peeled off. Stick is stamped "U.S. Pat. 1631960, June 14, 1927". Great use, black tape around blade and two lower areas, tape marks on handle. 56" from handle to blade. Hockey history, minus the splinters.
