August and Recent Pickups
As I am often late to post some of the newer acquisitions we've added to the collection, I hope you won't mind an August'ish pickups post...its been a long summer!
Several items of particular interest and enjoyment are what I'll be posting on: 1. A really nice 1910'ish AG Spalding model bat; Uncracked and NrMt in terms of condition, I just love these bats (a 33" club) as they, for all intents and purposes, are the only "signature endorsed" Spalding bats one can add to a collection. This is our 3rd such piece. 2. C. 1955 Mickey Mantle Rawlings Model MM fielders glove...pics speak for themselves...I love this glove! 3. By way of a good friend and fellow board member, I was very happy to add a circa 1860s CDV of two ball players taken at a NJ photography studio. I think there is a remnant of a tax stamp on it...at least the outline and placement would suggest that. If so, its circa 1864-1866. 4. Found in Morrisonville, NY...a town founded in 1810 and on the border with VT...is a tremendous example of a Snyder Style Wound Handle Bat with French polish finish. I've very much enjoyed seeing everyone else's wonderful additions and hope they keep on coming for the next week or so! Best, Jonathan www.dugouttreasures.com AND THE PICS... |

C. 1907-1912, AG Spalding endorsed bat...33", uncracked, and cool as its the only style of AG Spalding "signature" endorsed bat made by that company.

Circa 1955, Mickey Mantle Rawlings Model MM fielders glove...It remains soft, supple, and sturdy, with a pristine mfg. patch, a flawless interior, and quite a bit of silver stamping remaining. Just a great glove and one that I have been hunting for quite some time.

Circa 1860s CDV of 2 ball players taken at a studio in New Jersey. The possible remnant/outline of a tax stamp on the reverse of the image suggests it may be from the period between August of 1864 and August of 1866.

Circa 1870s Ward B. Snyder wound handle model bat with French polish finish. This is a fine example of this style of bat that, by way of extensive study and examination of catalogs and images, does date back into the 1860s.

...and very nice bat pickups, Ron...the maple bat is fantastic and a style that I'd like to try and re-add to my collection. The lone one I ever had slipped thru my hands, but did so in a very good trade. I also like the one with the incised grip...would be interested to see the whole of it if you can fit it in a single pic.

jpop43, the photographer of your CDV of two ball players is by Richard Rush Priest. His history is listed here:https://www.flickr.com/photos/94058635@N04/16396086620/
