Here is a pair of c. 1930 Babe Ruth All-American Underwear related items. First off is a vintage original photo of the Bambino (looking quite fit), that originates from the Christy Walsh Family Archives. This famous image of Ruth was said to be his favorite and also graced the cover of his popular underwear box. Note: Babe liked this photo so much that he commissioned a large painting of it that proudly hung in his apartment. It can be seen in an image in the Barry Halper Catalogs.
Purchased as a companion piece for the original photo is this seldom seen 4x5 Babe Ruth Underwear glass advertising slide that was used in movie theaters to advertise the sponsor's goods. A fragile piece that remains in top-notch condition. Attachment 50238Attachment 50239 |

There is actually a special section in the BST for your ad, I noticed that you did not make mention of your item in that section. Doug |

Nice photo! BTW, the guy on the left, holding the bat straight up, is Yankee outfielder--and Derek Jeter look-alike--W. F. "Birdie" Cree, who had been sent down to Baltimore in 1914. Here's the contract he signed later that year when he returned to the Yankees.

Birdie Cree?? Holy god, David - that's a friggin' AWESOME piece. Now, if you have one of Russ Ford's contracts, my brain might explode...

Please let me know if you ever come across a Jimmy/Ruth auto. :) |
I've got one, Jimmy. But you'll have to change your last name to "Flynn."

Wish you still had it too, I would be trying to buy it from you (but probably could not afford it). Here is the earliest known professional baseball team photo of the Bambino, Opening Day, 1914 Baltimore American News (Babe is in the front row, center).......... |

This original George Burke 1935 portrait of the Babe in his last hurrah, is certainly one of his final posed images as a Ballplayer, as this photo was taken by Burke in Chicago between May 9th and May 21st. Of course the Bambino's last game was played at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh on May 25th, 1935.

Is this a George Burke Stand-up?
1 Attachment(s)
More information about George Burke Stand-ups can be found at this link:
http://net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=113202 This was picked up yesterday, has some of the same characteristics of a Burke Stand-up (right size, beveled wood, same thickness and style. It is approx. 7" tall and obviously pasted against a (newer) board instead of in a stand. Perhaps you have seen this picture before? If so is it a known Burke photo. |

Recent pickup---not a remarkable Ruth item except via condition. Probably the nicest store model bat I've seen and I would be surprised if it's ever been used.

Nice painting! Unfortunately, though, the Babe is coming out of the wrong dugout.
|
Good catch on the dugout David -- do you (or does anyone) know when the Yankees switched over to the first base side?
Ray that is one gorgeous bat, and with store bats condition is everything. Greg http://www.baseballbasement.com |

This is a good thread to bring back, Mark. As the Spring Auction Season ends, I would think that there are plenty of new Ruth pick-ups from the last three months.
