Walter Johnson original photo 1926
 

I am selling this Type 1 original photo of Walter Johnson. The uniform dates the photo definitively to 1926. The man he is shaking hands with is Heavyweight boxing contender Ben Pound. I was informed by Hank Thomas, Walter's Grandson that this photo came from the Johnson family collection It was also used in Hank's book "Walter Johnson Baseball's Big Train"

In the bottom right is an embossed stamp of the photographer's name.

I thought I knew who the guy was, but looking back at my original description, I have it as "Walter Johnson and man with boater" :)

Ask Hank - he would likely know.

bump and price drop

What's the price now? I'm confused, it looks like you started at $150 and now it's $160. Did I miss something?

Sorry. I dropped it to $160 first and then amended the original post with the lower price later.
The price is $150.

Drop $125

Bump.
