Some Antique/Paper Show pickups
Posted By: <b>Keith</b><p>Hey guys,<br />At a local paper show I picked up the following items, some of which I have some questions about. <br /><br />First, I picked up this 1911 basketball photo of a team called the Ramblers from Buffalo. 2 of the players have an old english style B on their chest, the rest have Ramblers stitched onto their jerseys. In front of them is a trophy basketball painted World Champions 1911. I know we had this discussion before about teams calling themselves worlds champions, and my guess these were just a local league Champion. With that said, their uniforms look well made, and this doesn't appear to be a rag tag team. A little google research shows a German Buffalo Ramblers beat an All-Syracuse team in 1911 to be World Champs, but I have not got further than that. I may contact a local Buffalo library or historical society to get further. <br /><br />The photo is pretty big, 14 x 11, and it was hard for me to get a good image of it. I actually saw this same photo at the same show 5 months ago, but last time the seller wouldn't come down on price, but he did this time, so I picked it up.<br /><br /><img src="http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n193/kjjavic/Ramblers3.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n193/kjjavic/Ramblers.jpg"><br /><br />Next I picked up a group of pins from 3 different sellers.<br />First, I picked up 2 Detroit Tigers pins, a Ted Williams pin, and a 1971 Eagles pin. Can anyone help me date the Tigers pins? The smaller 1 looks like it has some good age to it. Does the Muchinsky pinback book help with dating such pins? If it does, I'll think I'll try to pick it up.<br />Next I picked up a small Baltimor Colts metal booster pin, and lastly I picked up this small turn of the century Cloth covered Lehigh pin (a good pickup i thought for a buck).<br /><br /><img src="http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n193/kjjavic/pins-2.jpg"><br /><br />The last three things I picked up were an off condition LA Angels pennant, a 1967 Phila Eagles Christmas card with team photo, and an older football themed book for $1.<br /><br /><img src="http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n193/kjjavic/angels1.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n193/kjjavic/DSCF2605.jpg">
