1943 WW2 Tennis Association Match Autograph Signatures Group Lot Fort Knox ArmyIn very good condition. From a clean, non-smoking environment.
- Not many, if any of these out there. Great piece of tennis and military history -
Paper work is all original and in very good vintage shape. Bindings are all tight and not split.
Great autograph lot of tennis all stars from the 1930's and 1940's all on one military program. This was a match put on by the Lawn Tennis Association and the U.S. Army at Fort Knox in 1943. It was a match to allow the tennis stars of the day to support the war effort and encourage the troops. Lt. Col. Clyde Keltner is who this once belonged to. He gathered the signatures on the program and has his name at the top (see picture). This paper work and many other military documents were all together in one box as the estate was being cleared out.
