Well we all know Lord Stanley but to come accross vintage memorabilia, its something else…

I recently got some funny items and found out that they where rare….

1- To put you in the mood, the first item is the 1889 Montreal Carnival program. Of course, this program is from that era the one to get. This is the year that Lord Stanley attended the first hockey game and we all know the rest of the story, gave is name to the magnificent trophy, The Stanley cup. This is the event that changed everything…

The program is great condition as showned in pictures mesures 5in x 6.5in and holds 4 pages…..the last one that came up was in 2007 at Classic auctions, you can look it up….
