Item Details
Description
J. & E. Stevens Cromwell, Connecticut - 1905 The "Calamity Bank" portrays collegiate football as it was played at the beginning of the 20th Century. Wearing only nominal protective gear, many players sustained serious injuries. President Teddy Roosevelt viewed this situation as very dangerous. He planned to incorporate the abolition of collegiate football as part of his platform re-election campaign in 1904. It's a good thing that his political advisors talked him out of it. This is without question one of the finest pedestal bases in existence. Provenance: Donal P. Markey Collection. Pristine Overall Condition (Figures Excellent, Box Darkened)
