This football is believed to have the signatures of more than two dozen members of the 1939 University of Iowa football team. The team, nicknamed the Ironmen, went 6-1-1 that year and featured Heisman Trophy winner Nile Kinnick as its star halfback. The football is now being kept in a lockbox at a West Des Moines bank.
