Bill Barilko will go down as one of Toronto Sports' most iconic figures, and this mini stick provides a unique connection to the Toronto Sports legend. When Barilko was not scoring goals for the Toronto Maple Leafs, he owned a Radio and Appliance store with his brother, Alex Barilko. The store, as indicated on the stick, was located at 167 Danforth Ave in Toronto and was often endorsed by other members of the Toronto Maple Leafs. An image is available upon an online search of a Barilko Bros store opening event in which Bill Barilko, Sid Smith, and Ray Timgren, among other Maple Leafs, are seen posing for a promotional photo for Barilko Bros Radios- that trio has signed this mini stick on the reverse side. The stick was likely a giveaway at the same store opening event that brought these Maple Leafs together. Also included in the group is a 20" x 30" photo that features Terry Sawchuk that was found alongside the Ministick. All items are guaranteed authentic by Miller & Miller Auctions.
