1894 volume of Spalding's Official Football Guide, having been owned and signed by Johnny Poe. Poe was one of six brothers who had played football for Princeton. It was quite common for the owners of these guides to sign their names to them so they didn't disappear. We bought this a good number of years back, before the collecting of Poe football memorabilia became as popular as it is now. Guide measures a rather compact 5" x 6 3/4". This is one of three Johnny Poe signed pieces we have, one other being on this blog (see related blog postings February 13, 2014, November 2, 2014).
