Sweet bike, Steve! Congrats on your retirement!

Please enjoy the next phase of your life. :D

Won the Ruth Underwear Box from the latest Hakes auctions. This is my first real piece of memorabilia (besides photos), so not exactly sure how much I'll be collecting here since these can take a lot of space, and I'm not much of a display person. Still, I've always liked this box and have wanted to pick one up.

BTW, I assume that this should be a genuine box and not a fake per this thread: Link

More Birmfiled Pickups

Here are some additional acquisitions from Brimfield last week. The tintype is my first of this style (it was originally purchased from an estate in Fulton NY) and I love the team photo (really cool early bird cage mask and the kids look like they might be drunk). I could not pass up the pennants at 10.00 each. Any idea on when the Mets pennant is from?

Steve, incredible retirement gift! I hope you enjoy it for years to come.

Alan

You STOLE the pennants. The Mets is mid 60s IMO.

Thanks Mike! I could not believe the prices myself. The dealer had these and other circus/state pennants from the 50s and 60s. They were hung up around the booth, and thus were in plain sight. It definitely pays to be an early bird (I got these at about 5:45am)!

"Great stuff everyone. Ryan that Waner Conlon is sweet!!!! It was also used for his rookie card:"

Thanks and Thanks for posting that I didn't realize it was also used for that card.

My latest package of original photos has arrived.
Lou Boudreau before he was a baseball star, Johnny Mize reaching first with Rochester (before he hit the majors). Bing Miller, Jimmy Foxx, Al Simmons and Mickey Cochrane with the 1929 Athletics. Then my Dizzy Dean collection. 1 of him with the Cubs, 1 with his brother and then 2 that were used for baseball cards. 1 was used for both 1933 and '34 Goudey's and then 1 was used for the 1936 Goudey.

1955 World Series Programs...

Thanks to cjedmonton, I was able to pick up 2 great looking 1955 World Series programs. One from Game 5 and one from Game 6 (both stadiums) to add to my 1955 World Series collection.

Ryan. That Foxx, Cochrane, Simmons, and Miller photo is a monster! :eek: I ain't kidding. Wish I had it in my collection. Well done Ryan!

1913 Cravats pennant of Red Dooin...and a big thanks to Dan (dstudeba) for contacting me. Any others out there? :D

Chris

Just added a new Gehrig Pic to the fold.

BTW: Ryan. Those are some awesome pickups. The Deans that were used for cards are great.

Thanks King and Mark. Those are certainly some of the best I now have in my collection. I actually have some more photos I just picked up, just haven't had the time to scan them yet.

Aways fun to get a card that matches a card

I picked up the two items above at a bottle show this weekend. I don't recall the Dodgers vs Yankees banner before. It's an eye catcher at 25 1/2" tall by 17" wide. The seller tapped it to the backing and shrunk wrapped it....and I'm reluctant to take it out to examine it displays so nice. There seems to be a looped edge at the top which would have likely been for a pole to slide thru I suppose.

It's very interesting it's was made after the Dodgers won their league championship but obviously before they went on to sweep the series...so it's a very ephemeral piece that would have been used a very short while before the Series began...I'm out of my element with it since it's so later than I collect. I can see fold lines like it was folded up about 8" x 6"..that's probably why it's in such good shape. It doesn't feel like a commercial piece...that is like something that hung in a magazine stand...more like a souvenir sold at the park..

Actually it wasn't just any bottle show...it was the National Convention of the FOHBC...Federation Of Historical Bottle Collectors....held in Reno NV...I made the 3 hour drive and stayed two days Friday and Saturday..you can see 200 photos I took in the link above (100 up now of Friday, 100 to come of Saturday). I posted photos of the bottle on Antique-Bottles.net which I belong to and it's getting the deserved scrutiny...that community is the
net54BaseBall.com of the bottle world...link below to the thread

Very nice pickups everyone. Here are mine for the month.

1) 1885 22" x 16" NY Daily Graphic depicting NY Baseball Team
2) 1889 14" x 11" Michigan Agricultural College (now MSU) Baseball Team Photo (no professional players but was able to identify all the players and their coach with the help of the MSU Archives!)
3) 1902 woodcut (yes still a woodcut) with Chadwick

awesome yankee/dodger piece...i love it!

American League Baseball 1911-1923

I assume you said yes?
Love the Gehrig bat.

:cool:Nice Jim. Never seen a 36".

great but sad story on this bat. Yes it was a TA 116 Hanna Batrite 36". A father purchased the bat for his oldest son who used it well and then past it down to his brother who was not as big of a boy as his brother. The father fixed that by removing the knob and cutting off 2 inches from the bat and then screwing the knob back on the bat. Both sons went off to WWII and were killed in France.

Great stuff, George!
