*"It was in the basement. I had no idea that it would be of any value at all," said Jeanne Dodwell, 88, describing the hockey stick she found while cleaning out her north Toronto home. The stick bears the signatures of the Toronto Granites, the Canadian team that scored Olympic gold in the 1924 winter games in France.*

Personally, I would not donate to the HHOF. There's no guarantee that what you donate will ever see the light of day and actually be put on display. It might end up in the archives never to be seen again. I would actually prefer the item be owned and appreciated by a fellow collector.

That's just amazing. I think the Harry Watson auto would alone sell big. Hopefuly it will be displayed for everyone to see.

That's a great find !!!

A museum will open soon at the Bell centre for the 100th anniversary of the Montreal Canadiens. It would be a cool place to display it.

I'm sure that centennial hockey collection could be a serious potential buyer, it's the biggest privatly owned hockey collection and will provide a lot of quality items on loan to the museum.

If you want to sell it, but also want it to be on display, that could be the best possible solution...
