First I cringed when I read thread yesterday and saw auction was still ongoing.
Second as a proud NJ native I am always happy to see images of the Paterson Silk weavers nickname Silk Sox. I have seen 3 team images of the team. And a good friend of mine has the copy that hung in Ed Barrow's Yankees office for many years. And there is a version from 1897 that has Wagner Barrow and Ed Delahanty. They are all wonderful images. I am including one of the alternate images The team with the Soby cup. This is similar to the image that hung in Barrows office. And the beer bottle from Patterson congratulating The 1897 team as reigning champs. This brewery grew into Ballentine brewing which was beer of NY Yankees for many years.
