Default Gump



No apparent baseball fans in the family tree. But my grandmother did compile an album of trade and business cards of various types from around the bay area. Her dad was in the coal business and brought home a lot of cards from other businesses. Nothing remotely related to sports. The album itself is very cool. An accordion-style book about 2 inches thick.

Gumps, founded in 1861 by Solomon & Gustav Gump, is still alive and well in SF, although they moved from Market Street to Post at some point.
