Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Winter 2020
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/26/2020
No stranger to having his likeness reproduced for advertising purposes, Joe DiMaggio hocked wares for a number of companies both during and after his playing days, with the legendary slugger serving as a spokesman for Mr Coffee for over two decades. Culled from a Life magazine in 1942, we have an advertisement for Camel Cigarettes, signed by the Yankee Clipper. At 9 ¼” x 12” and placed within a double matte to full dimensions of 16” x 20”, Joe D is pictured batting, with images showing stages of his follow-through, with a colour portrait along the base. DiMaggio has signed to the right of his image in blue sharpie, with the signature displaying nicely. The ad itself exhibits a bit of toning, with some wear to the matte. An LOA from JSA will accompany.
