High Grade 1946 Green Bay Packers Team-Signed Football Including Lambeau, Kiesling, Bruce Smith & Many More

A Rare Treasure: The 1946 Green Bay Packers Autographed Football

An Iconic Piece of Football History

In the annals of football lore, few teams are as storied as the Green Bay Packers, and few figures as legendary as Curly Lambeau. The 1946 Green Bay Packers, though unable to recapture their championship glory from two seasons prior, remain etched in history with a roster that was largely unchanged. Presented here is a rare and beautifully preserved football signed by the 1946 Green Bay Packers. This remarkable artifact is a testament to the enduring legacy of one of the NFL’s most revered teams.

Signatures of Legends

This football is adorned with 38 black fountain pen autographs on an Official NFL Bell football, featuring some of the scarcest and most coveted autographs in football history. Among the most notable is the signature of superstar running back Bruce Smith, a name rarely seen on NFL footballs. Smith, who won the 1941 Heisman Trophy just two days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, joined the military and returned to football in 1945. An equally scarce autograph from Curly Lambeau, universally considered the most significant figure in Green Bay Packers history, is also present in spectacular form.

• Bruce Smith: 1941 Heisman Trophy winner and military veteran.
• Curly Lambeau: The most significant figure in Packers history.
• Walt Kiesling: A rare autograph, joining Lambeau in the Hall of Fame in 1966.
• Other notable signatures include Don Hutson and Tony Canadeo.
