A rare survivor, in this lot we have an absolutely gorgeous IHL linesman’s wool cardigan sweater, and it’s in remarkable condition. A perfect Stall & Dean Brockton Mass tag, along with “38” size tagging is affixed to the collar of this off-white button up cardigan. The IHL patch over the left breast is felt over felt construction, with “Linesman” arching on verso in thick navy felt. With all buttons intact, the vintage garment exhibits just three tiny and barely noticeable holes, with a pair on the left sleeve and one on the back neckline. Attempting to find another linesman’s wool cardigan in similar condition would be an exercise in abject futility.
We should add that while we believe this sweater originates from the beginning of the modern IHL’s inception in the mid-1940’s, it is possible that it was used in the IHL that operated from 1929-1936, which later became the AHL.
