Item Details & Condition:
Up for sale is an authentic, highly collectible vintage copy of the "Brown & White" literary and athletic magazine from Greensburg High School (Greensburg, Pennsylvania). This specific issue is the "February Number," published in 1928, highlighting the school's historic sports achievements.
This softcover booklet features a striking cover illustration of a football game action sequence, complete with two handwritten pencil inscriptions from the original student owner at the top and bottom: "M. Albright / mildred Albright — '29" and "Foot-ball players of 1928."
* Sports Content: Features a comprehensive "Summary of the Football Games of 1927" proclaiming Greensburg as the W.P.I.A.L. Champions with an outstanding 288 to 19 point season record. Includes a full-page photo of the "Football Squad" (featuring names like Kopcsak, Potts, Rowan, Quatse, Shaffer, McDevitt, and coach Earl E. Loucks). It also showcases a dedicated basketball section with player portraits and bios for the Senior Varsity squad, including Captain George Shaffer, Wilson Brooks, Brinkley, James Moore, George Freeman, and William Pignetti.
* Local Advertising: Packed with excellent, highly nostalgic local Greensburg business advertisements, including Railway and Industrial Engineering Company, Maxwell's Distinctive Furniture, Frank's Clothes, Hoffman's Bread, Davison's Ice Cream, The Sugar Bowl Confectionery, Branthoover the Barber, The Morden Studio Co., Brown's Drug Store, and the Edwards Style Shoppe.
* Condition: Good vintage condition overall for a nearly century-old paper publication. All pages are present and fully legible. Note that one small internal section has naturally disconnected from the original staple binding, but it remains included and neatly tucked inside. The covers show light edge wear and minimal uniform age-toning, with a clean back cover.
A wonderful historical artifact for collectors of vintage scholastic sports programs, Central/Western Pennsylvania regional history, or pre-Depression era school memorabilia.
