Treasure Found!

🏆 Here’s a cool treasure! Found buried in the dirt under a front porch we were restoring in the Gibson South area of Hamilton a few years back. My son helped me take it apart and clean it up; it is in remarkable shape considering it has been buried for 110 years! 🏀 This photograph of the “Federal Life A A Basketball Team Champions Senior City League, 1914-1915” was taken at the “A.M. Cunningham Photo Studio” in Hamilton Ontario. It features 7 players, the president and the manager. I can’t imaging playing basketball in those shoes! I’ve tried researching all their names and could only find 2 of them, W.G.N. Turnbull and R.C. Ripley, both served in WW1. What a cool piece of Hamilton history!
