A larger than pocket size in which the signatures have been collected by Alan Cramer of Johannesburg. Alan is the son of Abe Cramer who was a Transvaal Rugby Union committeeman, Springbok Selector and the Liaison Officer for touring teams in the Transvaal area. As such Alan came into regular contact with Springbok & overseas rugby internationals. We purchased Alan's collection on block, a fine collection of Springbok memorabilia which included many signed items, balls, programmes and two autograph books, all autographed items within the collection are consistent with other similar autographs from this era we have seen including official autograph sheets issued by the South African RFU, New Zealand R.U., British Lions and Australian Rugby Unions.  This is the most recent of the two autograph books in the collection and dates from 1953, the first team page being signed by the 1953 Wallabies. There are several other team groups in the book including the 1955 Lions, 1956 Springboks, 1960 All Blacks, Scotland 1960, Ireland 1961 & British Lions 1962 Pages are sized 20cm x 13cm (8" x 5.5"). The images above and below are all from this book.
