Ruth and Gehrig Autograph

Hey guys just started here and figured I'd share this with you. My grandfather got this when he was a kid somewhere in the late 20s early 30s I believe. Ruth and Gehrig were barnstorming in West New York(the practice seems so outlandish now considering how pro athletes and teams are these days lol) and he got them to sign the same page right next to each other. A really cool little piece of history. Enjoy!

Ruth and Gehrig barnstormed together as early as the post-1927 Championship season. Based on the character of the two signatures, I'd center the date in the Fall of 1931.
