Here's a cool 26" plaster plaque of some sort, of a basketball player that I got today, but the arm and leg got broken in shipment....paid a whopping 99 cents, only bidder on eBay....I was going to send the guy some more money once I got it....but now that money will go toward restoration. I had a feeling it could get broke, plaster and odd shape. Has one bolt with nut on the back for fastening it to a backing/wall. Must have been some kind of advertising piece. What a shame it got damaged. I'd guesstimate it from the mid 1940's...no latter than the 40's, maybe late 30's, from the knee pad...at an advertising show I'd expect about a $250.00 price tag (in good shape). The seller made an effort to pack it well...but it takes more than an effort for a piece like this, it takes a strong commitment and keen packing skill.

Here are a few new additions:

First is an 1886 Princeton Basball team imperial cabinet photo. I id'd it to 1886 because the identical team image is included in the History of Athletics at Princton book.



Next, I picked up this Spalding trophy football.



And, lastly, I picked up this football cabinet photo. It is done by Gilbert and Bacon who I have other U of Penn football photos by, but this gentleman is wearing what appears to be a W on his chest. Research is ongoing to hopefully id this one.

Keith, Nice pickups...I don't know that much about photos, but I especially like imperials. It seems like that's the first imperial I've seen that wasn't mounted on a board, usually grey I guess. What are the dimensions? So do you have that book: History of Athletics at Princton? It's one I've been looking for, but it seems to always go for pretty good dough...I'm looking to steal one for $100 though.

Below is another outside the box pick up...a bronzed track shoe with a plaque that says "Shoe Worn By Carl McBain In Tying The American Record In 400 Meter Hurdles 51.6" In this wikipedia link it references a Bob Tisdall who had the world record of 51.7 seconds in 1932, which is a 10th of a second from a tye: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/400_metres_hurdles , Paid another whopping $9.99 on eBay....was the only bidder...I think McBain went to U.C.L.A.

Thanks Carlton. Well, I am not sure the actual definition of an imperial cabinet, so maybe I misused the term. The photo measures 14 by about 11 inches and it is mounted on a board of a ligher tan color.

I picked up the Princton book at Rennigers last year for about $60-80 (i forget exactly) but mine is in rough shape with a pretty weak binding and a loose cover. It meets my needs though as a information/research resource. It is a pretty neat book that has photos of every one of their 19th century sports teams.

Bobby Knoop's Gold Glove Award from 1966. A neat Mid-Century Modern Design, and IMO the best variation of the Rawlings Gold Glove Trophies...

I hope my buddy Mike doesn't see this, but I've always thought Bobby Knoop was almost as good as Mazeroski. He deserved that glove, to be sure. Nice.

Picked this up... I think its pretty cool. Would love any input on it, recorded sales, value, if anyone has seen it before etc. I do not have my camera with me and the sheet music is to large for the scanner... This is the best I could do for now. The copyright is "1885, National Music Company"
The sheet music consists of a total of two sheets, one of which I have not included a scan of.

Thanks in advance

This one slipped through the cracks a bit. Not super, but kinda cool.

Just got this bat today in the mail. A circa 1905 Nap LaJoie decal bat. This bat could have been used by lajoie because the handle is hand turned which was not common for store model bats. My other pick up is a 1860's bat that i bought from fellow forum member Mark.

To go along with Rob's pickup, here's one I just snagged. It's the only piece known to be signed by BOTH Chapman AND Mays! (Same sheet, signed on both sides.) Better yet, it dates to the 1920 season! There are only about 6-7 authentic Chapman signatures extant. (Sorry about the distortion in the one scan--the actual item is entirely free of blemishes).

Really nice bats Brock (its really weird writing that).
How long is the 1860's era bat? Looks quite long from the picture. Love the egg shaped knob as well. Mark really hooked you up with a nice one. Congrats

You are very welcome. It must have taken a big strong fella to swing that one! I only wish we were all at the National, admiring this stuff (instead of doing it on-line). Oh well... hopefully next year.

Brock- the LaJoie Bat looks quite nice. LaJoie remains one of my Decal Bat voids (and a very long-standing item on my want-list). Where did you find yours? Looks like one of the rarer decal variations, as well. Congrats, as it's a beauty!
