Great pick up Jimmy. I've always loved that pin. What a statement that pin must have made during 1947 and the era of Jim Crow. I am in pursuit of the "I'm Rooting for Larry Doby" pennant and think my chances of ever acquiring it are slim to none, but one can dream.

Great pickup SI Collector. I am in Michigan and would have loved to have attended that auction. Was there alot of sports memorabilia? I hope it wasn't the auction house in Waterford (see previous thread).

Default Gehrig

No there was not a lot of sports memorabilia...just a few things. I feel very fortunate to have come away with this one signed Gehrig item. I always wanted to add something to my collection but with all of the fakes and secretarial signed pieces out there...was never ready to take the leap and also have the dollars in place. This will get matted with an 8X10 photo of the 1937 Yanks and will look great on the wall. Thanks for your kind words!

Andrew:

The Wagner photo, based on the uniform, would be 1913 or possibly 1914.

Thanks Phil. That is what I had narrowed it down to also. I had info based on a description of the uniform but no team photos that I could match it to.

Default 1916 Boxing Plaque et al

1916 Boxing Plaque 20 ½” x 15”
Couple weeks ago I drove down to L.A. to pick up the 1916 NYC amateur boxing plaque below. The plaque was made by the renown Dieges and Clust company….Instead of risking damage in shipment I figured I’d pick up in person and hit the Rose Bowl flea same day….got to RB right at 6:00AM but never could get traction…pretty much the weakest Rose Bowl I’d ever been to….The winning club of the plaque “Union Settlement” was founded in 1895

Union Settlement was founded in 1895 by members of the Union Theological Seminary Alumni Club. After visiting Toynbee Hall in London, and inspired by the example of Hull House in Chicago, the alumni decided to create a settlement house in the area of Manhattan enclosed on the north and south by East 96th and 110th Streets and on the east and west by the East River and Central Park.

Photobucket

Last Saturday I drove into San Francisco and picked up the c1920 7” tall motorcycle statue I posted a couple weeks ago…I’m very pleased…looks better in person than photographs…below installed on my coffee table…managed to squeeze it in.

Hey Carlton. Where do you put your coffee? Congrats on yet another stellar pick-up. I've lived just a few minutes from the Rose Bowl for over five years now and still haven't been able to make it to the flea market. Guess that has something to do with my going to sleep when the market opens up.

That coffee-table pic is classic!

I had a glass-topped coffee table that I build a wooden ledge for that fit underneath. Crammed all of my 'shorter' pieces of memorabilia into it. Then the dog managed to get a minor league baseball out of it and chewed the cover half-off. Yes, I admit to owning game-used memorabilia, but I made my Mother sign an LOA swearing that her father really did give her the baseball.

Seeing all that stuff on the table makes me wonder - don't you ever spill a beer or coffee? What a clean-up nightmare.

I had to own this. Do you think they posed this way on purpose? (it's actually 'Cassville')

Kind of interesting that the team seems to be integrated during this era (the teens).

I think it's older than the teens - probably 1905-1910 - but it could be early 1910's. It's an albumen on a cheap mount, but the border on an albumen is slightly unusual. Yeah, by the teens you wouldn't see black players in the pics too often.

Several ML teams wanted to integrate (John McGraw in particular) simply to be a better team, but they couldn't. Not so below the ML level. This particular team only has eight players in the pic, even with the black player, so maybe if they had a slightly larger male population in their town, he wouldn't have been as welcome. Also, he is noticeably almost out of the picture and doesn't seem too excited.

Default More Press Photos

I'm especially happy with the Babe Didrikson. I used to own her pool cue and a bunch of other estate items, and I could not find a photo anywhere of her shooting pool. I've found a couple since, but I love this one.



Ruth and wife - 1939



Stengel - 1935



Dizzy Dean - 1937



Durocher, Dascoli and Goetz, Tookie Gilbert (player) - 1950



Grange - Oct 26, 1928 Caption: "Harold Grange, football star, given time to investigate girl's charge."



Tunney - dated 1926. I have a larger version of this one that is one print newer and CGC-slabbed (whatever that means )



Didrikson - 1947



Hoppe, Hoppe - 1909, 1929



Gordon Chung-Hoon - 1929

Scott, Man that's a lot of great photos...I just read up on Babe Didrikson...what an athlete...she sounds more profund than Jim Thorpe!...I've never seen that one of Red Grange...and the Tunney photo is classic. But some I don't recognize...how about putting the names under the photos? Especially the pool players...been getting interested in billiards/pool lately...re the coffee table...no worries on a spill...in word only....not a not a stitch of room to sit down a drink so don't have to worry about that ever happening LOL

Thanks - I have a bunch more, mostly too large to fit on the scanner. I have two more of Hoppe (I sort of collect them), and also a very interesting '20s shot of Japanese women playing pool. I'll probably add a photo page to my Billiards website, now that I have a larger grouping.

Didrikson was from my home town (Port Arthur, Texas), so everyone knew all about her. Basically, she was the female Jim Thorpe. There was a NY Times reporter who was, I believe, writing a book about her. He contacted me about various pieces, which I sold him, including her putter which I later found a picture of her using - boy, that would have jacked up the price!

Hey Dave, I didn't know you were on the forum!! As Dave noted, I was the other bidder on the Gehrig page and the one that picked up the Who's Who books with the autographs noted above plus Ki Ki Cuyler, Mule Haas, Floyd Young, Bill Brubaker, Gus Suhr, Tommy Padden, Johnny Dickshot, Goodwin Rosen, Van Mungo, T. Brack, and John Hudson.....plus a separate signed envelope by Casey Stengel in 1958. Not to be too critical of Dave's description, but I was also fortunate enough to pick up the Stengel signature in that auction sales total, as well . So, it was a bittersweet auction for me after the disappointment of coming in second on the Gehrig page as it was VERY poorly advertised in the auction listing and I was hoping (for all 5 days prior to the sale) that it could be bought for peanuts (next time you travel to Michigan, Dave, please call for permission first)......however, after meeting Dave after the sale, it didn't sting as bad after realizing he was a good guy and not a bit arrogant or cocky......and I was relieved nobody else bothered to flip through the Who's Who books!!

Thanks for the compliments fellas. I always wrestle with the cost of having items custom mounted and framed but am never dissatisfied with the end result.

Default 1950's Sport Magazine Posters?

Picked these up today. Each piece is hard backed with a photo and an embossed number and "As seen in Sport Magazine" label. Each piece measures 15" x 12" with the photo about 8" x 11". Blank backed. They are neat pieces that I have never seen before. Anyone have an idea where these originated or what they are?

Boy John. That's a great photo! Love that crest on his chest. Nice pick-up.

I would say the tintype is circa 1880. What size is it?

Circa 1880 seems about right. Notice he is wearing his position on the front of his cap: r.f. ( unless those are the team initials).

Come to think of it, they probably are the team initials, and it's just a coincidence.

John- that's a sixth-plate tintype.

Nice, John. I was the underbidder on that, but I still think you got a very good deal.

If you want some photos or scans to go with that Luggage Ticket, I bought Dick Hoblitzells photo album from that tour and there are some images of Max Carey in there. They started in the midwest, went through the Dakotas, Nebraska, Iowa, Utah, Idaho, Oregon, California, and ended up for a while in Hawaii. The tour also had Grover Alexander, and Ray Chapman among other famous players of the day.

That would be really nice Rhys. I did some research on the tour myself. If you want to send me some scans, I'd REALLY appreciate it.
