Description: ORIGINAL LARGE 46"X33" OIL PAINTING CIRCA 1930'S,CANVAS,WITH VERY HEAVY STURDY WOOD BACK FRAMING. THIS GREAT PIECE SIGNED BY FROM WHAT I HAVE FOUND NOT VERY KNOWN PAINTER HENRI PAPASO,BUT THE QUALITY IS VERY STRONG. THE PLAYER I CAN NOT IDENTIFY FOR CERTAIN,SMALL PAPER BACK OF FRAME WAS FOLDED ON SIDE. STATING IN PENCIL JOHNNY BLOOD MCNALLY GREEN BAY PACKERS. AS A LONG TIME FOOTBALL AND BASEBALL FAN BACK TO 1880'S MYSELF,I KNEW OF JOHNNY BLOOD. HOF 1963. WON 4 CHAMPIONSHIPS FOR GREEN BAY 1929 1930 1931 AND 1936.HE MOSTLY WAS A HALFBACK,FULLBACK BUT DID SOME PASSING,KICKING IN HIS CAREER. I AM SURE RECORDS FROM THE 1920'S AND 30'S IN THE NFL WERE NOT PERFECT OR COMPLETE. I RESEARCHED A LITTLE MORE AND FOUND HE DID WEAR SEVERAL NUMBERS THROUGH OUT HIS CAREER. AND HE WORE #24 IN 1929 AND 1930 FOR THE PACKERS. I LOOKED AT SEVERAL OLD B/W IMAGES OF HIM AND THEY SEEM TO CAMPARE SIMILAR TO HIM ON THIS PAINTING. THE RECORDS AND BIO'S ALSO SHOW HE PLAYED COLLEGE FOR NOTRE DAME,BUT INFACT IF YOU READ ABOUT HIM,HE NEVER PLAYED A GAME WITH THE IRISH. HE APPARENTLY GOT BOOTED FOR TROUBLE BEFORE HIS FIRST GAME. AND READING MORE HIS NICKNAME WAS "THE VAGABOND HALFBACK" AND HAS MANY STORIES ABOUT CRAZY THINGS HE DID,AND DRUNKEN EXPLOITS,VERY ENTERTAINING READING IF YOU GET THE CHANCE. ONCE CURLY LAMBEAU PLAYER/COACH OFFERED JOHNNY BLOOD $110 PAY IF HE DIDN'T DRINK AFTER WEDNESDAY EACH WEEK,AND ONLY $100 IF HE DID. JOHNNY TOOK THE $100 OFFER. BUT IT WAS LATER SAID LAMBEAU LATER GAVE HIM THE $110 JUST FOR BEING HONEST. AND PROBABLY I GUESS FOR WINNING THE PACKERS 3 CHAMPIONSHIPS IN A ROW 1929-1931.BLOOD WAS ELECTED TO THE FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME 1963. SO WITH ALL SAID,THE PAINTING IN ORIGINAL OIL,LARGE AND BEAUTIFULL PIECE. THE ARTIST NOT VERY KNOWN AT ALL. AND THE PLAYER I AM NOT ABLE TO VERIFY 100 PERCENT, IF IT ACTUALLY WAS TO BE JOHNNY BLOOD MCNALLY THE HOF. SO I WILL OFFER AS AN ORIGINAL,VINTAGE,AND A GREAT QUALITY FOOTBALL PIECE THAT IT IS. ANY FAN SHOULD AND WOULD LOVE WHEN THEY SEE IN PERSON. THE LAST PHOTO SHOWS A FULL SIZE BASEBALL BAT NEXT TO PAINTING,SO YOU CAN SEE REALLY HOW LARGE THIS IS,EBAY GLOBAL FOR INTERNATIONAL
