Mickey Mantle Advertisement for Timex Watches
Description
A slide of a black-and-white full-page advertisement with Mickey Mantle endorsing Timex watches. The text at the top reads, "Amazing Test by Mickey Mantle Proves Timex Watches Are Really Rugged . . . " Two pictures below the headline - both showing Mantle in a New York Yankees home uniform - show the "amazing test." One photo shows him completing a right-handed swing with a Timex watch on the barrel of the baseball bat. The other photograph shows Mantle examining the watch on the bat after he swung.
