Description

The dominant Owens and eight track and field teammates

Vintage fountain pen signatures of Jesse Owens and fellow members of America’s track and field team Jack Torrance, John Woodruff, Glenn Morris, Forrest ‘Spec’ Towns, Don Lash, Harold Cagle, Sam Francis, and Earle Meadows on the reverse of a 5.25 x 3.5 postcard depicting London’s Hotel Victoria. In very good to fine condition, with a trimmed right edge and a few spots of staining. Accompanied by an original ticket stub for admission to the events of August 3, which included Owens’s victory in the 100-meter sprint. In addition to Owens’s four gold medals, Towns, Johnson, Morris, Meadows, and Woodruff all won golds, and Cagle won a silver medal. All together, these signatures represent one-third of all gold medals the United States won in Berlin. An incredible compilation of signatures from this legendary track and field team. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
