Featuring the American Hockey League - one of the longest running and most storied in the United States - we offer a large group of programs and photos from 9 different teams, ranging from the 1930s to 1970s, totaling approx 239 (200 photos and 39 programs). A number of HOFers and future NHLers are listed in program line-ups including Jacques Plante, Gump Worsley, Doug Harvey, Bobby Baun, Yvon Cournoyer, Lanny McDonald, Billy Smith, Butch Goring, Dave Schultz, Milt Schmidt, Woody Dumart, Harry Lumley and others. Players shown in individual or team photos including Jacques Plante, Pierre Pilote, Buddy O'Connor, Charlie Hodge, Emile Francis, Tom Johnson, Bun Cook (coach), Johnny Bower, Gerry McNeil, Ab McDonald, Bronco Horvath, Gaye Stewart and others. We should also note that many of the photos are team-issued and vintage (there are some copies as well), with a number from the 1940s and 1950s. To build a collection of AHL material like this piece by piece, would take years. Most of the photos and programs show light wear with heavier wear to a small percentage, with the odd program missing the line-up. The teams include; Pittsburgh Hornets 7 photos including 1941-42 and 1946-47 team photos, and 2 programs; Baltimore Clippers 5 photos and 7 programs; Rochester Americans 14 photos including Charlie Hodge and Bronco Horvath and 4 programs; Springfield Indians/Kings 7 photos, and 2 programs; Cincinnati Mohawks 6 photos including Emile Francis and Buddy O'Connor and 5 programs; Providence Reds 8 photos including 7 team photos (a few from the 1930s are modern copies) and 6 programs; Hershey Bears 68 photos (mostly team-issued player photos from the 1940s/50s) and 4 programs; Cleveland Barons/Falcons 64 vintage photos including a number of team photos and a group of 48 early-1950s team-issued player photos including coach Bun Cook and 3 programs; Buffalo Bisons 20 photos including a number of 1940s/50s team photos and 6 programs.
