1970-71 California Golden Seals and

1972-73 Salt Lake Golden Eagles         posted 9-21-05

Tommy Williams and Jim Jones- Wilson Durene knit, size 48.  This jersey has some great recycling history behind it.  It was first used by the California Golden Seals and was issued to 1960 USA Olympian Tommy Williams, then it was handed down to the Seals farm team the Salt Lake Golden Eagles.  Williams was traded to the Seals in the 70-71 season from Minnesota, at some point he wears #27 then switches to #26.  The Williams name is visible on the back.  No one of the name Williams ever played for Salt Lake, and in 72-73 Jim Jones wears #27 for Salt Lake.  I have traced an Original Seals crest and laid it directly in proportion with the V collar 1.5" and you can clearly see the team repair done directly were the "S" in Seals was taken off.  Clearly the evidence shows that Real Seals jerseys were handed down to Salt Lake.

Game Wear:       

Right Sleeve - One nice team repair and a couple of marks and pilling.
Left Sleeve - 3 team repairs and pilling.
Front - 2 team repairs and marks.
Back - 4 team repairs were the name Williams was removed by the Seals staff.

Inside - Good inside stretching and pilling.

1976-77 Cleveland Barons         posted 7-26-04

Ken Kuzyk  - Rawlings Durene knit, size 48.  Without a shadow of a doubt the hardest to obtain 70's NHL jersey.  Most of these were thrown away while Cleveland moved to Minnesota.  One recently sold privately for $10,000.00.  This is a first year Barons with the beautiful tackle twill state patches.  The second season the state patches were not placed on the jersey.  The crest is heat sealed on and is in fantastic shape with absolutely no signs of cracking, so to get a Barons of this quality is very very rare.  This was worn in the era of no names on the back. 

Game Wear:       

Right Sleeve - One very small unrepaired hole on the sleeve stripe.
Left Sleeve - 2 Light stick marks and a board burn, and one small unrepaired hole on the sleeve stripe.
Front - The front shows several nice stick marks and a couple of nice stick marks on the crest.
Back- The back numbers show sweat stains.
Fight Strap - Loop style fight strap.
Inside - Great interior pilling.
