Lot #2135: Vintage 1950s Alliance Cooper-Weeks Leather Hockey Gloves – Model 1008 – Made in Canada

Fantastic pair of vintage 1950s Canadian-made leather hockey gloves featuring beautiful golden tan leather, heavy protective padding, and classic old-school hockey styling. These gloves are a wonderful piece of Canadian hockey history, dating back to an era when hockey equipment was crafted with thick leather, reinforced stitching, and substantial padding rather than today’s lightweight synthetic materials. Manufactured by Alliance by Cooper-Weeks, these gloves feature the distinctive Shock Shield Armourist design with original patent-pending markings and Model 1008 stamps. The leather has developed a beautiful, rich patina over approximately 70 years, giving these gloves incredible vintage character. The traditional padded fingers, reinforced cuffs, and authentic signs of use make them especially appealing to collectors of early hockey equipment. A fantastic display piece for any hockey memorabilia collection, sports room, man cave, or enthusiast of Canadian hockey heritage.
