It's Football Season! Show your vintage football memorabilia

I rarely share my collection, but early football stuff is near and dear for me. He is a little early Minnesota pro football stuff.

And a little Gopher football love with our only Heisman Trophy winner. This is a 1941 team signed football with rare Heisman notation

Another tougher Minnesota item

Outstanding collection Jason!

I'm guessing you're not a big fan of Chris's 1896 football.

Yes, that football is off the charts. I wish I could afford it. I have seen it before and it makes me salivate. BTW, Chris' collection is absolutely incredible.

I do have a 1917 game ball versus Chicago that is signed by two time All American Bert Baston as well as a 1935-36 Ray Antil leather helmet signed by the 1935-36 team with Bud Wilkinson and other national champs from 34-36. I actually bought that from another board member (thanks Jeff P).

There are other things I would like, but my collection is vast and varied and my wallet is not thick enough to compete with some of the big boys for all the great stuff out there.

Great collection and so wonderfully displayed! That Gopher display cabinet is one of the nicest things I have seen. Thanks for sharing Jason.

This is a great thread!!

I posted this one a few months ago but will do it again just for the sake of this thread. I picked up a group of original photos of Kenny Washington who re-integrated the NFL in 1946. This is an autographed photo of him as he prepared for the 1940 College All-Star game against the NFL Champion Packer's team. At UCLA he played in the backfield with Jackie Robinson.

Hey Guys,

This is one of my favorite pieces. It is a framed collage of original cabinet photos of the Championship 1893 Princeton Football Team, along with two banquet menus. One of the menus was signed by the entire team on the reverse. This banquet at the Princeton Inn was held two weeks after their historic victory over Yale. There are nine individuals from the 1894 Mayo Cut Plug set included here.

I'll post something different than most...I don't do much with high school football but these pieces had me...This Lick High School vs Seattle High School broadside was interesting from the get go as it took place about seven months after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake...I got it from Keith Schneider of Gasoline Alley Antiques in Seattle about 25-30 years ago...Keith was kind of a mentor to me when I was just getting going in collecting...Below a shot of a younger and thinner me twenty years ago at his house in Seattle buying a bronze from him...

Below is another High School Championship football broadside...this one from Connecticut...I sort of had to get this one because I now have championship high school football posters from both coasts...I did a story on this, link above...in which I brought out a lot of the background of the teams....HOWEVER...the most incredible thing happened about 3/4 the way thru writing the story...The question kept circling....where would the Yale Cup trophy be today...was it trashed...was it discarded into a trash heap in the 1950's...was it in someone's attic...in a trunk in a basement...had it already hit the market and sold in Legendary...Heritage...bla bla yada yada...Well...I FOUND IT!!!!!!...and you can see it in the story and read about how I found it there....
