Summary: Germaine and Gary Morse of Roxbury kept an old curved piece of wood in their umbrella stand for many years. Germaine’s brother had found it in their grandmother’s house in Northfield in 1980. It turns out that old piece of curved wood may be one of the oldest hockey sticks in existence, estimated to have been made sometime between 1850 and 1870. And as a result, it’s being sold off by a sports memorabilia auction house , with an initial appraisal at more than $3 million.
