Welcome to Net 54.
Vintage Football is my favorite category and you have an outstanding room! Can't imagine anything topping having a glass of scotch and watching monday night football in that room. Great site!

Absolutely stunning room!! I enjoyed the "Holy Grail" article and always enjoy learning about the provenance of memorabilia. Really great you have this story!

Nice to see another football collector here.

If you spot any Chicago Bears game used, keep me in mind.

Great articles as well. Thanks for sharing.

University of Chicago football pennant circa 1910-20's. Anything with the football player is a nice collectible. Hope this helps. Jason

Thanks Carlton!

I actually sold the Schmelzer last year to afford the completion of the room. It was a hard choice, but what good is a collection if you can display it? It found a very good home with an advanced collector.

I'm sending you an email in a few minutes.

Chris. The black and gold uniform you have. Is that attributed to any specific team or player? I will be very envious if its an old Hawkeye player.

Herky - It's actually a dark navy 1924 University of Toledo friction jersey. No specific player. I bought it from a collector who had purchased it from a Legendary auction.

Very cool. Most guys on here are baseball guys so its cool to see a guy specializing in football. I got a loving cup I'm interested in your thoughts. See pics on the trophy. Guy sundt was an all big ten fullback in 1921. I believe it may be a team MVP but I have no idea where to start for research on such an item. Have never seen a comparable

Herky,

Awesome piece! From what I can find, Sundt was honorable mention All American in 1921 and was named the team MVP. I believe you have the trophy he was presented with by the team. There's a chance this may be an award he was given in addition to the MVP, but I can't find any evidence that another one was given. Sundt later became athletic director at UW. He died in 1955 and his obituary is available from the New York Times for $3.95. It may mention the award. Would be cool to have a print out of it anyway for future provenance.
