Framed Signed Photo of Harold "Dutch" Smith

SOLD

It is a man or a plane?  The perfect high dive form that won Harold "Dutch" Smith is gold & silver medals at the Olympics in Los Angeles, 1932.  Dutch was a handsome man and one of the first celebrity athlete endorsemen; quoted in a 1937 LIFE magazine ad for Camel cigarettes:  "I long ago discovered that a Camel restores my energy after a strenuous meet."  (No surprise to us now that he died prematurely at 49 of cancer)   Original photo, signed on reverse by Dutch.  Excellent condition & newly framed with museum matting.
