Rare Harvard/Yale 1912 Deluxe Football Program and Princeton/Yale 1913 Football Program. Two extremely scarce football programs from the early 20th Century.
1.) Harvard at Yale football program from November 23, 1912 where Harvard defeated Yale 20-0 breaking the Bulldogs winning streak in their last game of the season. Program cost 50 cents ($26 today!) and was die-cut and printed in the shape of a football, with the binding being punched holes to the left side and laced up as if a football. Superb, excellent condition, no marks or tears, the advertisements amusing including a three color engraved ad on verso for "Genuine Roll Cut Lucky Strike Tobacco Prepared for the Pipe." Outstanding original program for one of the greatest college rivalries in American history. 10 x 7"
2.) Princeton at Yale program, November 15, 1913 which ended up in a tie for the rival colleges. Program has large photos of both team's players interspersed with a wide variety of local and national ads. Very fine condition with the only issue is that being a three staple binding, the rusting of the staple caused acidic burning limited to the inside facing page and three "burn" stains on the left white border of cover. Otherwise all the pages are intact, the binding taught. 6¾ x 10½". Estimated Value $500 - UP
