Provenance:
This seat was frequently occupied by Gordon Kirke, lawyer for the Leafs, and was presented to him by Stavros on the closing of the Gardens in 1999.
Note:
The current lot was originally one of the red box seats at ice level when MLG was opened in 1931. When the 'gold' section was created in 1970/1 the red seats were reupholstered and spray painted in the new colour. The red under-paint is visible again where the gold has worn away.
