1959/60

Nov. 4, 1959 featuring Carl Brewer.


Lineup page with another dozen Hall of Famers.
 
Another Hall of Famer, a very young broadcaster Brian McFarlane.

1940/41

Gord Drillon on the cover. This is missing the lineup page so I'm only sure of the season on it. Still, one of the favourites in my collection.

A couple of great adverts featuring Syl Apps.


1931/32

This one's a bit of a cheat. It's the full reprinted opening night program from Nov. 12, 1931. It was put out when the Gardens closed in 1999 and may be as close as I get to the real thing for a while.


Player page from the program that is reproduced to exacting details.

1963/64

Captain George Armstrong on the cover for the Jan. 4, 1964 game vs. Chicago.


Lineup for the game featuring no less than a dozen future Hall of Famers.
 


Souvenirs listed for sale at the Gardens. I have the white pennant and an Eddie Shack mini-stick. They cost a bit more than the $1.00 listed here.



Advert for York Peanut Butter with free hockey card inserted. I have the Frank Mahovlich from this set.

A few of the Leaf greats of the day.
 
 



Rear cover with a beauty skate advert.
