Jacques Plante Vintage Fibrosport Hockey Goalie Mask, Undamaged, Fiberglass REAL
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:823021 | Country/Region of Manufacture: Canada |
This is the real deal, not one of those fake imitations that followed it over the years. This is the original, face only Jacques Plante Fiberglas goalie mask from circa 1971. I remember holding one of these back then in a Hockey Skate Shop and losing my mind as a little kid. It is the Elite model, full sized #102. I have provided a clip of the Plante company advertisement that shows the m...ask when new.(NOTE: AD PHOTO FOR INFORMATION ONLY! NOT INCLUDED IN SALE). These were made by Plante’s company in Magog, Quebec and were the very first fiberglass pro style masks ever offered commercially. Yes Jason wore one, lol.
The mask is in excellent used condition especially for a 50ish year old item that took a lot of impact. The mask was once painted as most 70s mask were and it’s been refinished in a grey color that most approximates its original look when new. Please see all photos including unfinished inside. It’s also has a snap that’s loose in its hole at the top, again see in inside photo. It includes the original design grey straps... if you know anything about these masks, they are usually long gone. This is an incredible wall hanger or prized collectible in a goaltenders vintage mask collection. Please note the beautiful, uncut unmessed-with original eye holes. Wow.
Remember, this is not one of the cheap imitations that came after it, it’s not a Franklin fake copy or a plastic Cooper copy this is the real first run fiberglass goalie mask designed by the greatest goaltender of all time himself. Do not miss this one. $20 shipping US; $45 to Canada. No returns. Please examine photos and ask questions. Insurance can be added by buyer.
