I am an avid collector of movie worn/movie used items number over 300 in my collection however I am very excited about my latest acquisitions.
The Dead End Kids were the forerunners of the Bowery Boys and in 1939 starred in a movie: HELL'S KITCHEN.
The plot had the boys who were "guests" at the Hudson Reform School putting together a hockey team under their Coach played by Ronald Reagan.
3 jerseys have survived and all are tagged with Warner Brothers tagging. They were the uniforms worn by the 3 leading characters of the time, Billy Halop, Leo Gorcey and Huntz Hall.
I consider it a privilege to own them and they look great matched up with all of the movie worn jerseys of the modern day film: MYSTERY ALASKA in which I have all of the browns worn by Mystery and all of the New York Rangers whom they played against.
Just thought I would share my good fortune as my byline would read that the "true joy in this hobby is not in the having, it's in the getting and the sharing."

Wow, great pickup Larry. I really enjoyed watching the Dead End Kids. Angels with Dirty Faces was a classic!

This thread is very interesting. I would love to see the jerseys matched up with the stills/photos from the movie scenes.
