ITPC JUNE 2012 SPORTS MEMORABILIA AUCTION-200 LOTS
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/30/2012
Red Grange was one of the most popular athletes of the 20's and rivaled Babe Ruth & Jack Dempsey. This cardboard megaphone was a souvenir from his 1926 movie titled "One Minute to Play"*. It pictures Grange on one side. the megaphone is flattened, but easy can be rounded with pressure to the mouth hole. It is in near perfect condition and would look awesome framed.
*Synopsis of Movie- "Red" Wade, a star high-school football player, has intentions of going to Claxton College, which has a powerhouse football team, but changes his mind when he meets the sister of the pitiful Paramlee team and goes to college there, just as his father, an alum of the school, had wished. But his father has ordered him not to play football. "Dad" Wade, has offered a $100,000 endowment to his old school, not knowing his son has joined the football team, but is going to withdraw it if his son plays in the Big Game against Claxton. This puts "Red" between a rock and a hard place.
