Depending on the amount of air time given the auction, there is the potential for the mainstream, i.e., those outside the hobby to be introduced to sports antiques.   Lot 55 "Goal from Field" Estimated Price $750.00-$1,000.00 44" wide by 14" tall print titled "Goal from Field", marked "Copyright 1910 by Close, Graham, and Scully, New York.". This could loosely be called a Yard Long style print, a genera of American  chromolithographic prints produced 1880-1910. Hunt's description doesn't indicate the artist, just the lithographic firm Close, Graham, and Scully. There were a number of generic baseball and football yard longs produced and they're all dynamite...a lot of bang for the buck. I have another football yard long titled "Touchdown?" by J.D. Whiting.  There are baseball, football, track, and I recently learned of a rowing one I'm on the search for by Hibbard V.B. Kline. The Hunt description indicates this example has the original frame which is a very important bonus...no mention of glass...which, having the all important original wavy glass would escalate it's status.  Lot 54 , Football folk art oil painting  Estimated Price $750.00-$1,000.00 24" tall by 12" wide, Likely the finest folk art football painting you'll ever see. I've never seen a better, has it all, size, quality execution, and a great football motif frame. Lot 49 - Game of Touchdown Estimated Price $400.00-$500.00 1897 "The Game of Touchdown" football card game. First example of this little game I've seen. Interesting collaboration of interests. The game was an advertising promotion for Thompson Brothers Clothiers, Bath ME, copyright 1897 J.F. Evans, made by J.W. Kelley, Portland, ME. Lot 56 - c.1890s. Morrill Football Nose Mask original box, and nose guard  Estimated Price $1,500.00-$2,500.00 Incredibly rare, I've never seen a nose guard box before. The wording of the Hunt description  "The box is accompanied by a matching Morrill nose guard...." sounds like the nose guard that  comes with it isn't the original, no big deal it's still an exceptional offering but it should  be clarified. Lot 71, "The American Idol" football statue Estimated Price $1,500.00-$2,000.00 "The American Idol", 12" tall plaster statue of a c1910 football player sitting on the bench. A very rare and well done example of football sculpture by an obscure sculptor named William C. Both from Chicago,  has original metal title plate Lot 68 Harvard Brand Corn Syrup tin w/ football  Estimated Price $750.00-$1,000.00 c1920s 5 1/2" tall Harvard Brand Corn Syrup tin. Tin is in exceptional condition. These are quite rare, only the 2nd example I've seen. The other is blue, and in my collection. Has paper label end of preview
