Typed Note Signed by Harmon Tom, Signed (1 results)

"Old 98," a two-time All-America halfback and Heisman Trophy winner at University of Michigan (1938-40); with the Los Angeles Rams, 1946-47; elected to the College Football Hall of Fame; father of actor Mark Harmon. TNS ("Tom"), 1p, 7¼" X 10½", Los Angeles, CA, 1962 March 16. Addressed to "Don" (Woolf, of California Artists). Near fine. On letterhead of CBS affiliate KNX. "Elyse asked that I send you a couple of signatures," Harmon writes. "I hope that the enclosed will be o.k." Bold signature (first name only) in dark red. Harmon's wife, the actress Elyse Knox (1917-2012), was providing original artwork for this greeting card company that published a line of Christmas cards featuring art by Hollywood stars. The "couple of signatures" mentioned is present in the form of an 8½" X 3" slip from which a portion has been neatly snipped off at upper left (the Knox signature actually used on the greeting card), leaving her large blue ballpoint signature beneath. Accompanied by a fine 5" X 7" glossy black and white photograph, an informal 3/4th pose of a smiling Harmon in suit and tie and smiling Knox in dress and pearls holding hands. A delightful, unusual trio.
