Babe Zaharias Signed 1948 Oversize Wilson Golf Ball Advertisement
Here is a Babe Zaharias signed first, middle initial and last name original 1948 Wilson golf ball advertisement with black pen below her picture. The signature remains dark and legible. It was common for Zaharias to sign items as simply "Babe," giving this piece added intrigue. Babe Zaharias was an Olympic athlete and incredible female golfer, winning 10 LPGA Majors during her career. The piece is oversize, at 14" by 10," and features fellow Wilson golf endorsers Gene Sarazen, Sam Snead and Patty Berg to name a few. The graphics are consistent with those from mid-century advertising campaigns and use the color orange to make the black and white head-shots of the athletes stick out. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed the signature and their auction letter of authenticity will come with this lot.
