This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/17/2014
Vintage big-time minor league programs and yearbooks offered here, including 10 American Hockey League programs from the 1930s to the 1960s, 13 AHL yearbooks spanning the 1950s and ‘60s, 26 Quebec Senior Hockey League (QSHL) programs plus one picture, and 2 nice little 1940s Maritime hockey guides. From 1937 we have a complete 14-page program featuring the Springfield Indians vs. the Providence Reds (with soon-to-be Bruins stars Bauer, Schmidt, and Dumart in the Reds lineup). A complete and intact 34-page 1951 Providence vs Hershey program is next, followed by a 1951 Cincinnati vs St. Louis 22-pager, a Dec. 20, 1952 Providence vs Hershey, and a 1952 Hershey vs Cleveland program with Johnny Bower and Fred Shero in the Cleveland lineup, with the 40-pager in excellent condition. There’s a Hershey-Buffalo Bisons 15-page 1952-53 program in nice shape but with the lineup page loose from 1 staple. A 1953-54 Pittsburgh vs Providence program is next, a 15-pager with some handwriting on an inside page and a small amount on the cover. There’s a 38-page Buffalo program featuring the Bisons and Cleveland Barons (with Bower in goal) and is in good shape aside from one word being scratched out on a page, and the middle pages are attached with just one staple. Next is a Hershey program from 1957 between the Bears and Rochester, with Don Cherry in the Americans lineup. This 24-pager remains in great shape. And finally a Buffalo Bisons program from 1964-65 featuring the Quebec Aces as the opponent, in nice condition although the middle lineup page is loose. We also have 13 AHL yearbooks that include 1957-58, 1958-59, 3 from 1959-60, 2 from 1960-61, 1 from 1961-62, 2 from 1962-63, and 3 from 1964-65. One yearbook from ’59-60 has some handwriting inside, another has half a page missing and some handwriting, and 1 from 1964-65 and some handwriting and 1 small picture clipped out. From the QSHL we have 4 early-1950s Quebec Aces programs, 16 Chicoutimi programs from the 1950s, 3 early-1950s Ottawa Auditorium/Senators programs, 3 early-1950s Valleyfield Braves programs, and a 1951-52 Aces team picture (with folds). Last but not least are two small Maritime guides – from 1948-49 (3 ½” x 6”) and ’49-50 (4 ½” x 6”). The majority of the QSHL programs are in good condition, although some show wear and a few have handwriting on the cover and in the pages. All in all, this huge program and yearbook lot is in fine shape and hankering to be read.
