A very similar, but not exact match to this photo is found in the 1925 yearbook, so I would think this 5x7 image dates to around 1924. Unsure if it's an original type 1, but the signature is vintage fountain pen
I saw that Grange, but I mainly collect only Minnesota related football. That is one incredible photo. Nice pick up
