1899 Princeton Gold Football Charm
Trying to locate information regarding a new pick up. I am unable to find a copy/example on the web. Inscribed W.C. Booth 1899. Looking for a reference point as far as price or rarity if anyone happens to know anything about these. I found the player on the web and found his accomplishments. I assume this was given to him as a team type of award?
Any help would be appreciated. Last edited by bigfish; 12-05-2010 at 06:48 PM.

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, little gold baseball and football charms were given to college players as awards. They're a bit like little medals. It belonged to the person engraved on back. They're scarce, especially from the 1800s. I've seen them before, including some that belonged to Smoky Joe Wood when he was Yale coach.
Yale and Princeton was a big game, and I believe Princeton was co-National Champion that year, so yours is a nice one for sure. Last edited by drc; 12-05-2010 at 05:33 PM.
