Hi Jersey,

Unfortunately, that is not a game-worn Rangers jersey.

The Rangers did not use felt letters and numbers on their jerseys in the 1950s and 1960s. They used two-color tackle twill letters in a drop shadow old English style on the fronts of their jerseys and two color tackle twill numbers on the backs.

Also, they did not add numbers to the sleeves of their jerseys until 1958-5 ... and then, they were two color (red and white) tackle twill in a drop shadow style on the home blue jerseys and one color (blue) on their white jerseys.

Sorry, Barry

Two other discrepancies:

The Rangers did not have red collars on their wool jerseys in this era, the colors were blue.

And the widths of the stripes on the arms and body were different than the patterns on the jersey you posted.

My best guess would be a store-bought replica.
