Today I am invited to purchase some items from the estate of former NHL player Len Lunde! A rare opportunity to find some very unique historic hockey collectibles! bidlive.kaucti...
Wow ! Wow! Wow ! Have you ever been blessed Alex! It appears, as if you have reached the very pinnacle of your career ; the fruits of your labor! When I see this in a person achieving so much success, I totally relate it to their parents. You were given a lot of creativity and leeway in your growing up years . I’m not a mentalist,but I am a mental health professional and when I see this, I definitely attribute it to how a person was raised. You have created a lot of enjoyment for your subscribers and a lot of success for the people you buy from and your family. Congratulations! Hats off to Alex !
I love that you appreciate finds not only for their monetary value, but for their historical value as well. It’s a joy to see you go through items with wide-eyed awe. ❤
That book is a Norwegian hymn book. Specifically, Landstad's church hymn book. It was used for a long time, and had a revision published in 1926. This revised version were the official hymn book until 1985. Landstad also wrote many hymns, though most of the hymns in his book were Danish or German hymns, with Norwegian lyrics.
You did this Edmonton boy good, Alex. What a history lesson about a kid who represented so many different teams/communities/people. I really appreciate you for how you teach us about history, even correcting yourself mid-video. Love that you weren't as concerned with the gold $$ as you were with the significance of the piece. Thanks from Vancouver!!!!!
Leo Lunde was the head coach for Finnish Icehockey league team Ilves in 1971-1972 and they won Finnish Icehockey championship that season. Later he was head coach for the Finnish International team and they came 4th in Icehockey World Championship in 1973. That's why he has those Finnish shirts and medals. He then returned to Edmonton Oilers as a player for one more season in '73-74.
At some point he was also in Sweden. Frölunda Göteborg is a team from Gothenburg on the west coast of Sweden. His hockey school was further north in Mora in Dalarna in Sweden. ICA is a grocery chain in Sweden, so they were a sponsor on one of the jackets. It's pronounced EEkah even though it looks like an acronym. BTW Suomi is pronounced suh-OH-mee. Three syllables.
@@gitteawwal5447 Yes, Ingeborg is a common Swedish woman's name. Lund is a common Swedish surname, but Lunde isn't. Then again you never know how mangled a name got when people emigrated to North America. 🤷🏼♀
Wow what a blast from the past, Len had a great career didn't he, Detroit, Chicago in the greatest era of professional hockey with all the great players, I was born in 1960 so it's right up my alley, Terry Sawchuk was my favorite player and probably one of the best goalies ever, can't wait to see the stuff when you decide to allow people to purchase it, thanks Alexander.
Alex, get in touch W/The Hockey Hall of Fame. I’m sure they’d love to get some of both the NHL & Intl Memorabilia. Perhaps even your local Sports Hall of Fame about the Edmonton Flyers things. I can’t believe the Family didn’t think of donating some/most of the Hockey Collection to the HHOF. That’s where they belong. Both Mom & I watched this in disbelief. I mean…Their Dad played w/how many Legands!?! I”d have been keeping that at least. Do not get it. Anyway…Please consider getting in touch W/the respective Halls & see if they want anything. They reallly are the places they should be going to. Take Care!!
My brother had that hockey sticker book in the early 70s when we lived in Edmonton. I remember my dad bringing home the stickers when he gassed up at Esso. Bobby Hull, Geordie Howe and Bobby Orr were the prized stickers.
There was a teenage doll who had hair that would grow. Her name was tressy. Her hair could grow by pushing a button and then you could wind it back in as well.
I have a Giant Websters Dictionary like that! Came out of our old high school library after the building caught on fire. Was a 3 story brick building built in the 20s.
That thing that you said was a shoe sizer is a hem marker for sewing. So your hem would be even. You would stand on a table while someone moved it around you, pinning up the hem.
May grandfather was born in 1898. May dad and uncle was adopted, they were twins. Dad looked for any kin he had and find them up north and went there , my brother had went with him. From what they said is they was run off with shut gun. Dad didn’t look no more.
That little record might have come from a jukebox as they removed the centre. When I was a teenager in the 60s we went to a secondhand record shop which sold these and for a few pence we could have a replacement centre.
I still have my Chrissy doll. Though I don’t have box anymore, and I think mine might be newer version than the one you have. Mine you didn’t cut the hair. You just pull it out of her head and to shorten it back up you pressed in the belly button and turned a knob in the middle of her back to crank her hair back into her head.
I had that Crissy doll. The hair came out and then wound back in to the doll's innards. It wasn't infinity hair. If you cut it, it was gone. I also had the Mia doll, who was Crissy's little sister and whoae hair alao "grew."
Oh my gosh!! I had a big unabridged dictionary like that from the 1930s years ago... I had one. My sister had another. When I left home, I didn't bring it. I wish I had. She has hers. I wonder whatever happened to mine. No one seems to know.
We had a big dictionary like that when I was a kid. I hated it because we had to use it as a scrabble dictionary. Try being 5 years old and muscling that thing around.
Shoe sizer/skirt hemmer: Good for 50 or so additions to the RU-vid algorithm/analyzer. There's no doubt that you're not as cynical as I am (and that's a REALLY good thing 🙂), but if I were doing these videos, I'd toss in a prearranged mistake or two in every video. 😆
Alex... love your channel and the wife and I don't miss a video. But, you are way behind in updating us on your "car" status! I spotted what I think is a yellow Alfa Romeo in this video, what !!! Is the Citroen gone? What have you gotten rid of lately? Any new motorcycles? Just asking for a friend :) .
I've always, secretly, believe that companies give clock-themed awards away to employees because they are hinting that you need to be to work on time! lol
Hi. Alex . My name is Janet and I'm very , much Interested in buying the Twiggy case with all the Contents inside of the little record doll sweet times by the rock flowers group and doll clothes . Can you please buy it . And then you can re sell it to me , please . Thank-you
The hockey hall of fame buys those things directly. I have watched a hundred deals of baseball , nascar,, basketball, and hockey hall of fame . Even motorcycle hall of fame and others before they closed . They buy at highest dollar, collections.
Västra Frölunda is a hockeyteam in the Swedish league. "Mora" is a town in Sweden with a great hockeyteam, but not in the highest league called "Elitserien" (the elit league). If you have any question about Scandinavian words,teams or terms, just send me a mess and I will be more than glad to help.
I had a double take when the Finnish jersey's came on, so I had to google Len Lunde. Your pronounciation of ilves was close, you just also have to pronounce the E. It means lynx in Finnish, which is why it's their emblem. In Suomi you seemed to switch the u and the o for some reason. CCCP means the Soviet Union.
26:15 CCCP = SSSR in the Cyrillic alphabet which we called the USSR or Soviet Union for short, the reverse side reads (in Russian) World Hockey championship Moscow 1973
That Bay coat isn’t from the 50s fyi. The Hudson’s Bay tag on it up is more like circa late 70s/ early 80s. The tagging gun that produced that sticker tag wasn’t invented until the 70s. (Yes I used to work retail in the 80s 😂)
Total time capsule of legendary hockey history! Loved this video Brother Alexander. Thanks for sharing Your passion and adventures from Toronto Ontario Canada 😎👍♥️🇨🇦🏒♥️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️💯💯💯💯💯✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
CCCP stands for Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. As you pointed out in the video, lol. You might do well with this stuff in the Vintage Sports Memorabilia sections of eBay or Etsy.
I had a Ken doll whose arm fell off every time I played with it. His head as well. My Barbies ended up being played with by many a daycare kid and one day kens head went home in someone’s diaper bag. The parent had a good laugh and texted me a picture of it that evening when they came across it. I love watching you go thru all the Barbie stuff. I’ve been trying to track down some of the doll clothes my mom made in the eighties as I think most of mine ended up in an auction box (grampa was a big auction fan) and sold for a few bucks. Some day somewhere I’m sure something will turn up. I have a few things that were spared for some reason but the majority of my Barbies and accessories mysteriously disappeared. I still have my mothers old midge doll that she purchased in the year midge came out, so she could learn to sew her own Barbie clothes for her younger sisters. One thing I learned is that playing outside with an old hard plastic style barbie in a minus thirty Saskatchewan winter will ultimately result in the doll losing her toes. True story! Midge lost her red nail polish on the Tompkins school playground back in the early eighties. It was devastating to six year old me!
Good afternoon Alex, the brooch made in France, might be a Lea Stein piece. She made all kinds of funky brooch. They do sell well for good money. Take care.
Hi Alex, Thank you for all the videos. Wanted to point out that the gadget is ot a "shoe sizer". It is used by garment makers, for marking the length of hem when making a skirt.
I've been waiting and waiting for you to find a Chrissy doll. I wanted that doll so bad and got it for xmas one year and totally wore out the mechanism for the hair.
What a sweet haul! This is so cool how well photos, clothing, medals, trophies, and jewelry all tie in so well! Congrats! I do have a question~ Do any of your auction items/lots have a minimum? In other words, if no one bids high enough, you keep it until you get the price you want? Thank you, B
