This amazing gold dureen gamer by Rawlings was worn by Skip Krake during the 1969-70 NHL season. Krake began his NHL career with the Boston Bruins in 1963-64. He would play in Beantown for 4 seasons before joining the LA Kings in 1968-69. After 2 seasons in Hollywood, Krake played 1 year for Buffalo before joining the WHA. He would spend 4 years in the WHA playing the first 3 for the Cleveland Crusaders and the last for the Edmonton Oilers.
The game wear on this vintage dureen is solid consisting of stick marks and board burns, fine inner pilling and in excess of a half dozen team-sewn repairs. The Kings were one of 6 teams chosen to be part of the NHL’s expansion from the original 6 to 12 teams. This piece of LA hockey history was worn during the 3rd year of play for the Los Angeles Kings franchise. This spectacular late 1960’s dureen is nearing its 40th birthday and represents a seldom offered chance to aquire a gamer from this cherished era.
