Adding in the fact that it hails from the collection of Barry Halper and anyone who buys the jersey thinking Williams actually wore it is deluding himself.

By stating "attributed" I was recalling a lineup or scorecard I've seen from the series. I only asked the date because there were multiple series and one of the Williams "letters" mentions 1943. The 43 series was on the east coast, but I think they wore jerseys with trimmed letters. If that style of Jersey was only worn in 45, then yeah it wasn't worn by Williams.
