If you can get the seller to understand and accept an offer...grab it. U of C athletic history is under appreciated in my personal opinion. Can you say Big Ten Conference....Jay Berwanger. Great history associated with that school and a very nice campus !!!!!!

+1. If you can get it for $50 that's a steal IMO. Chicago has a rich football history from that period. It's a rare item, but only the U of C collector would really appreciate its value. I can see a U of C collector paying a few hundred dollars.

History of the wishbone "C" logo, including its apparent debut at the U of Chicago in 1898 can be found here:

Yes, very inexpensive piece of memorabilia. Even the full-size giant football sideline blankets (which this is not, but the seller seems to be advertising it as a cousin) are going cheap these days. I bought my girlfriend a beautiful Stanford one, .ca 1915 for only $100 or so. I believe a 1940's Green Bay Packers one sold recently for peanuts as well. On the other hand, as you say, if you can find a graduate from 'U of C', the price goes up. I sold one of these to an alumni of another college, for a very nice sum (fair, of course

)
