This program publication celebrated the first decade of the Interstate Baseball League of Professional Baseball Clubs. The league was started in 1939 with four founding clubs, including the Sunbury Club.
In 1948, eight clubs from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland were in the league. Three former members (Bridgeport, CT; Hazelton, PA; Reading, PA) were also recognized in the publication.
At the time of the publication, David Kelly, Steve Filipowicz, and Richard Libby of the Sunbury Club held league records.
This beaded gentleman's coin purse bears the name Dr. John Meckley. A date, February 1833, is also beaded onto the coin purse. The coin purse would have originally had a pull-string style closure.
Dr. John Meckley attended the University of Pennsylvania.
