Jeff, you have number 26 to Folwell, I have number 35. Also have a stock certificate signed by Pa Corbin, the iconic Yale player, but it's not a football stock.

Spectacular stuff, Jeff and Mike!
That Boston Bulldogs certificate rocks. Can't go wrong with anything about Pa Corbin either.

Great stuff Mike. Any idea who Folwell is ???? I assume a member of management or owner ???? The Corbin item is great.

Bob Folwell was the coach of the Philadelphia Quakers in 1926. In 1925 he was the first coach of the New York Giants (photo below). He was a star at Penn prior to WW II (on the postcard) and coached at Lafayette, W&J, Penn, Navy, NY Giants, Quakers, and Atlantic City Roses. He died in 1928.

Thanks for the info Mike. I guess I never researched it, which is rare I usually research most things.

That scan was sent to me by Larry Schmitt, who does a lot with Gridiron Uniform Database and Big Blue Interactive - his articles can be seen here http://www.bigblueinteractive.com/author/truebluelarry/ Here is the photo without the id tags I added.
