And now back to our regularly scheduled programming ....

Dutch Hendrian was an early NFL player and also appeared in 158 movies as an actor. He played for the Akron Pros, Canton Bulldogs, Green Bay Packers, New York Giants, and Rock Island Independents.

I have a clipping that uses that photo, Jeff - from 1933

Great clipping Mike - Thorpe on the Giants - wow. I'm guessing because the sports writers were used to baseball, the short NFL careers seemed odd to them. Thorpe doesn't really make that point though - he actually played forever

Picked up my second Shotwell wrapper a few weeks ago. There are at least four known variations of this wrapper and they are all tough to find.

Nice Jeff - do you have a box as well? I seem to remember that being posted someplace.

I was just looking through this thread and realized I had something that fit the theme. This card is from a 1929 Churchman British cigarette card set. I always wondered if it was from a college game or pro.

Great newspaper clipping pull, Mike! The Hendrian I have was clearly cut from a larger photo. Can you tell whether the newspaper clipping is a composite or a complete photo? Just wondering.

I do have a Shotwell box, John, and I think it was displayed earlier in this thread.

That's a great question, David, I wonder if anyone has been able to match the image on that Churchman with a photo or at least the teams.
