A Pair of Amazing Antique Shop Pick-Ups Today! 72 and At Least 41 Years Old!

Today I was feeling bold after my decent Goodwill haul yesterday so I decided to visit a few antique shops in my city and wouldn't you know it, I came across a couple of very cool vintage hockey items I had to have. I was hoping for good cards as well, but with common penny singles at those places being listed for $6-$8 per card, and Pro Set boxes at $70 per box, I passed and was happy with what I got instead.

The first item I picked up is an original 1947-48 Edmonton Flyers team photo. A few names from that team also had decent NHL careers including goalie Al Rollins, Gordon Buttrey, Doug Anderson, Bud McPherson, and Louis Holmes. The original owner of the team photo even made their own notes on the 1948 playoffs on the back which also adds a cool bit of history to it.

The second is a 1970s Syl Apps Jr. game used stick that he utilized with the Pittsburgh Penguins or LA Kings. That's right, a player game used item!I got a deal I was very happy to pay for both!

Awesome. The Flyers photo is really cool, and a GU stick from the 70s?

You've got better antique stores that we do, lol.

Thank you!

Keep in mind I only post my cool finds and the highlights of my antiquing/thrifting trips. There is a lot of rummaging through junk I have to do and I often don't find such cool things. It also takes multiple stores before I go to the right shop at the right time to find such items.
