On the reverse: "Presented to Reuben Marshal as a souvenir of friendship by his friend Edward H. Kruger. From John Ertzgaard: This one has a little story. I sent a copy to Frank Gifford (Kathy Lee's hubby) and said Kruger was a spittin' image of him. He actually wrote back and answered: "Yes, he does resemble me when I was much younger!"
