Wartime calls for sacrifice, and even the NFL did its part during WWII. Short of players due to military enlistment, Pennsylvania's two NFL squads combined their available rosters in 1943, to form the Phil-Pitt Steagles. Now taking the field, are (3) scarce programs from the unified 1943 Philadelphia Eagles-Pittsburgh Steelers season.



Featured are:



9/16/43 vs. Bears preseason home game program Vg+, from Shibe Park. Listed on the roster page, is "Bronko" Nagurski, who the Bears brought out of retirement, to help Sid Luckman, George Musso, and their gang win the 1943 NFL championship.



11/7/43 vs. Redskins regular season home game program Fr, from Shibe Park. Quarterback "Slingin' Sammy" Baugh is listed for the 'Skins.



12/12/43 vs. Redskins regular season away game program presents Vg details, from Griffith Stadium. Baugh is also listed in this program, which has a detached but present centerfold, and two pages that have sections cut out.

Opening Bid $200.
