That is very cool.
How about Dimaggio for Gillette?

Well I was pleasantly surprised to find a celebrity endorsement page from non other than George Wright with a photo and facsimile signature. Being in the Boston area, he was a local celebrity around the 1890s.
Just wanted to share but also wondering if some collectors out there might have some pre-1900 baseball player endorsed products like this. Obviously there were tobacco products but wondering what other products might have some interesting endorsement.
