All the AAGPBL items in this auction came to us from a consignor who lives near Sellersville, PA, where 6 time AAGPBL All Star Ruth Richard (Grand Rapids Chicks and Rockford Peaches, Allington's All Stars and Women's World Champions barnstorming teams) spent most of her life. We do not have a chain of provenance to definitively tie these to her personal collection, but given that each item has a connection to her (She played on the team in the program, the only picture that doesn't include her includes her first manager), it certainly seems plausible.
Pictured at the ballpark carrying catcher's gear. Hand writing on back "This picture you don't have", and hand dated 1948 with more handwriting "Just before the game on a Sunday. I'm not the fan that printed the books, help take pictures".
