Step back into the rugged world of early American football with this original 1924 vintage football team photograph, mounted on its original board and surrounded by handwritten player autographs. This historic photo features a full roster of young athletes dressed in striped football jerseys, lace-up boots, and early gridiron gear, capturing the authentic look of the 1920s game.
The centerpiece football is marked "1924", firmly dating this piece to the golden era of early college and prep school athletics. Each player's name is handwritten in ink around the mount, making this not just a team portrait but a signed artifact of sporting history. Collectors of early football memorabilia, vintage sports photography, or Americana will appreciate the rarity and charm of this nearly 100-year-old team photo. It's a tangible connection to the era before modern helmets and professional leagues dominated the sport.
Photograph shows good contrast with expected light fading and age wear. Mount board has light edge wear and spotting on the reverse side (see photos). Autographs remain legible around the border, adding significant collector interest.
A unique piece for display, research, or preservation in any sports history collection.
