This item is from Phil Tuckett’s personal collection.  It took several decades within his career to amass these rare collectibles at events. The highlight is that it includes autographs of the most prominent entertainers, historical figures, and sports players Tuckett met along the way.

Presented from Tuckett is a vintage original Rugby ball handmade of brown leather with cord laces and dates from 1950’s. The wording/branding on the ball reads, “EXPERT – HANDSEWN THROUGHOUT” in black and it has model 5. There are six laces on the ball. It is well used vintage condition with scuffs, scrapes, scratches and marks. The ball does not hold air. For time period accuracy, it was most likely used as a prop or background item in one of Tuckett’s film projects.

Phil Tuckett suited up for a single game for the San Diego Chargers in 1968, and his time as a professional football player consisted of a year-and-a-half spent mostly on the Chargers practice squad. One might surmise that Tuckett’s contribution to professional football was minimal, and they would be correct, until taking into consideration that after retiring as a player Tuckett spent the next 38 years working for NFL films. Tuckett won 30 individual Emmy Awards in 30 years while with NFL films documenting the NFL. Of particular note, Tuckett worked directly with Ed Sabol, the man who started and was a huge part of  NFL Films.
