ITEM DESCRIPTION

 
Reserve: $400.00
Winning Bid: $766.44
Price Realized: $915.89
Auction Date:4/28/2006 9:00 PM EST

Oddly, the Hall of Famer played his entire career without any fingers on his right hand! In 1900, he lost the fingers after receiving a 2,300 volt electrical jolt. Note that in the photo only his left hand is on the stick. Cut is signed "Ernie Johnson White Rock. B.C." and glued to the picture. Along with Art Ross, he powered the defense of the Montreal Wanderers. Piece is 7 x 3-5/8" and encased in plastic. Moose passed away in 1963, so this is one difficult autograph to find!!! Near Mint.
