Lot 1349: Nellie Fox Favorite Chewing Tobacco Counter Display
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
With his cheek bulging like a chipmunk's on a chewing tobacco display, Nellie Fox is a throwback to when ballplayers actually endorsed the stuff. The foot-tall display stand (EX) reads "Nellie Fox says FAVORITE is the CHEWING TOBACCO I use and recommend to you." Also includes unopened pack of Favorite tobacco and a Favorite notebook. Fox and other big-leaguers went to bat for tobacco before the surgeon general made his pitch.
