Original Chicago Black Hawks Stanley Cup Champions Banner 1961.

Sold at a five-minute-long auction at Leslie Hindman Auctioneers of Chicago in July, 2013.

The banner sold for $37,500

For the first 33 years of its “life,” it proudly hung from the rafters at the old Chicago Stadium.

For the next 19 years, it was prominently displayed at Overtime Sports Bar in Northbrook, eliciting the ooohhs and aaahhs and camera flashes of many customers and fans.

Gus Cappas bought the 144-inch-by-94-inch banner in 1994 when Leslie Hindman auctioned off the contents of the Chicago Stadium when it was torn down.

Today a replica of the banner hangs in the United Center.
