November pickups

Circa 1880 seems about right. Notice he is wearing his position on the front of his cap: r.f. ( unless those are the team initials).

Come to think of it, they probably are the team initials, and it's just a coincidence.

Picked this up yesterday...From Springfield MA. Has advertising for Mass Mutual Insurance below ball carrier getting tackled....





In the late 19th- early 20th century it was a regular practice for calendars to have a football scene for November...and sometimes October


Read about this calendar here

Same for advertising posters for magazines such as Scribners, Outing, Lippencots, Century, Harpers, etc.

Good eye Barry. Those same initials are also on the crest, but hard to see, so it must be the team initials.

I was kicking myself for not bidding higher on this one, but glad to see a happy board member got it.
