Show your Pre-1940 Pro basketball items

[Andy Sandler]

Early basketball stuff is tough to find. Please show your pre-1940 basketball programs, equipment, photos, broadsides, tickets, etc. Once I figure this out I will post some pictures, too.
Thanks, Andy Sandler

Before someone knocks this as off-topic, I'll put up a couple items. I collect old sports letters, so that's all I have to show. These letters are probably better classed as semi-pro rather than professional.

1933 Denver Piggly Wiggly - a dominant AAU team that eventually evolved into the Denver Nuggets

circa 1920 Belcur basketball team - I don't know anything about this team. The letterhead is blank.

1901/02 St. Clair Athletic Club - According to web reports, this team was fantastic. The player with the mustache is John Titus, who played baseball with the Phillies.

Another interesting bit of info on the dominoes program is that one of the "peden brothers" that sponsored it was likely William "Torchy" Peden, one of the best pro cyclists of the 30's.

I collect cycling memorabilia, so the name stood out.

I think they should have an area on here (if they want) of any other sports Memorabilia besides baseball (please).
