Listing Details

This rare photo was inserted into a small number of the square, single-pair ?Buddie? underwear boxes as a ?Super Premium? for dealers. There are two horizontal creases as it was folded to fit in the box. This photo was the same one that was cropped and used by the McLoughlin, Mfg. Co. on their various Babe Ruth underwear boxes. These are extremely rare according to research by our consignor, this is the first one that we have seen or handled. This is a fine vintage piece that nicely combines rarity and eye appeal. 1920s Babe Ruth items have been on fire in recent years, this is a neat item to add to any such collection. Handsomely matted and framed, total size 12.5 x 15.
