These all have been signed personally by him and have never been framed or displayed. Four of the 5 photo prints measure 10″ tall by 8″ in length and bear his signature. The last one measures 10″ tall by 8″ in length but is attached onto an envelope and the actual autograph is on this envelope. These photo prints would be excellent to get framed and displayed throughout the house to give it a retro twist. These are the last prints I have for sale. For authenticity purposes, I will message a photo of Steve’s name and previous address that was sent to my current address at the time for reference.
The boards measure 22 in length, are in well preserved condition (see description above), and are suitable for display in a permanent collection. Feel free to contact me with further questions. Nash III, founder of Nash Skateboards. Nash was the fourth generation of his family born in Fort Worth. He attended Charles E. Nash elementary school, named for his grandfather, and worked for the family business, Nash Hardware at a young age. One of the first skateboards by the brand is on display at the Smithsonian Institute. The’Goofy Foot Sidewalk Surfer’ from NASH, shown here, was one of the original, mass produced skateboards of the late 1960s. The plastic wheels and metal ball bearings made riding dangerous and only the skilled rider could perform tricks or rode downhill with any success. It wasn’t until 1970 with the introduction of the urethane wheel by Frank Nasworthy, that skateboarding became a legitimate competition sport. The urethane wheel provided a smooth ride and enabled skaters to go faster and maneuver the skateboard in ways they couldn’t with the cumbersome metal, clay or plastic wheel. Currently not on view.
