It is always enjoyable for two sporting greats to come together and discuss their experiences, and a meeting between Elston Howard and Jim Brown gave special meaning to the football offered here. This Wilson official NFL football (Commissioner Pete Rozelle) was presented to Elston Howard by legendary running back Jim Brown. Printed on one side of the ball is "Made by Wilson /Thorp Sporting Goods Inc. New York / Official National Football League Eastern Conference Western Conference / Pete Rozelle Commissioner" and on the other side is "The Duke." The ball shows some wear and is in excellent to near mint condition. It comes with a letter of authenticity from Howard's wife Arlene.
