February Pickups

[71buc]

[QUOTE=pariah1107;1378643]The Northwest African American Museum recently sent me this 3 feet X 5 feet blow-up of a ca. 1909 Roslyn, Washington PC. This was at the NAAM's "Pitch Black : A History of Black Baseball in Washington", it was near the Amateur Roslyn miners items. NAAM curator Chieko Phillips sent it as a thank you for research contributed to the exhibit. She's the greatest!!!

This image is from the collection of another member, and the copy I recently picked up is dwarfed in the upper right hand corner. It's ridiculously large, any ideas on how to display this item? Heavy bond paper.

Ty that's a very nice photo Roslyn looks the same today

Very true! I wish the old grandstand (built in 1923) was still there, but it was salvaged for building material in the 1950's. Here's an image ca. 1925 of what was described as "the best ballpark between Seattle and Spokane". Roslyn was baseball crazy in the 1920's-30's. The grandstand held close to 3,000 in a town of less than 2,000 people.
