Rare 1921 Hamilton American Legion Football necklace, belonging to former Ohio State halfback Paul Hurm.  Hamilton went 7-1 that season, losing to Lockland Athletic Club in their season finale.

Paul Hurm played with the great Chic Harley and was a halfback on the Ohio State football team in 1916.  Hurm scored on the first play of the game in the Buckeyes’ school record-setting 128-0 win over Oberlin. He joined the Army and played on a well-known military team that included several All-Americans. Hurm later played for a Pennsylvania professional team called the Pitcairn Quakers.

This is a part of half back Paul Hurm's Personal Collection. Hurm was a part of the famed Ohio State backfield that also included Chic Harley and Pete Stinchcomb.
