Attractive but collector grade Quaker Oats premium of Babe Ruth depicting a famous photo of Ruth driving a ball to right Louisville Slugger in hand. The facsimile signature is inscribed "To my Pal." Clean image with evenly-rounded corners as well as edge wear some uneven toning on the reverse that is more prevalent along the edges. Also included is the original mailing envelope as well as the index card-sized note from Donald Douglas the VP of Advertising at Quaker. It seems the photos were redemptions for submitting a limerick the winners receiving a fielder's glove or baseball. A fascinating collection of items related to the Quaker Oats/Babe Ruth promotion of 1934.
