1) December 23, 1951 program for the National Football League World’s Championship game between the Los Angeles Rams and the Cleveland Browns, held at the L. A. Memorial Coliseum. The Rams beat the Browns 24-17 in the first Title game televised coast-to-coast. The DuMont Network carried the game and paid the NFL $75,000 for the rights to do so. The 24 page program features a full page Rams team photo and rosters of both teams. Profiles of both coaches and of some of the more prominent players are also included. Numerous interesting period ads throughout. It is interesting to note that comedian Bob Hope was a part owner of the Rams. Front and back covers show some surface wear with some spine separation about 2” both top and bottom. Inside pages very clean. Very eye appealing NFL Championship program.
2) Early 1950's Los Angeles Rams Football game manufactured by Zondine Game Company of Hollywood, California. Beautiful color 20 1/4" by 12 1/4" cover features A large Rams running back with smaller figures in the background. Inside board game in great condition with all 16 game cards and both yardstick and football markers. Based on the instructions on the bottom of the lid we believe the game to be complete. Box bottom has a couple of tears at each center side but all four corners are intact. Lid top is fairly clean except for wear all way around top edge with 3 of 4 corners also being split. Still displays nicely.
