7/15/1967: Bob Gibson's right leg is broken by a line drive off the bat of Roberto Clemente. Gibson would miss almost 6 weeks but the Cards didn't miss a beat winning the WS in seven games over The Impossible Dream Red Sox team.

Scary photo. Yikes!

Nice haul Dan!

Great photo Jeff! My dad was at that game and has told me about that play several times. He said he never had heard a sound like that before...

I believe that this is being delivered to me today, by way of Huggins and Scott.

TYPE 1 UNDERWOOD AND UNDERWOOD 1915 PHOTO

Ben:

That's got to be a mighty pricey addition to the collection..............

Phil, I actually got a really good deal from a dear friend. I am lucky to own such a piece. It is amazing how clear it is.. love the old steely tones of these early ones.

Eagles pickup
 

I didn't pickup up this piece this month, but just got around to photographing it. It is a 1960's Philadelphia Eagles "Sound of Brass" marching band uniform.

Eagles band
 

Here is an old original photo I have of the band performing at Franklin Field. This band was on the field playing Christmas tunes during the infamous 1968 halftime show that had Santa Claus pelted by snowballs.

OUTSTANDING photo Ben! Congrats

1912 Boston New York World Series Promo Ticket
 

I am not exactly sure what this is, looks to be some promo for a saloon in Philadelphia, not sure if they gathered there to watch one of those mechanical baseball displays and get the Series "broadcast/wired" to them like was shown in Eight Men Out and seen in pictures people watching re-creations in the streets.


Any additional info would be much appreciated.

Hey, its cheapie Type III< but I kinda like it.

Pick-Ups This Week
 

1. C. 1900 Schmelzers Sporting Goods football shoes with wooden cleats;. 2. 1907 Yale baseball program (one major leaguer represented);
3. Not baseball, but I know there are some Hartland collectors; 1940's Mastercrafters/Sessions clock with large Hartland Champ horse. Clock works. The nicest one I have seen.

Wow, a real resemblance to Robin Williams in that photo.

Nice haul congrats....see 4th to last paragraph in link above for a brief bio of the Schmelzer sporting goods concern...plus photos of a Schmelzer helmet I picked up a few years ago...

Lots of pillbox hats.

Several cabinet photos arriving this week, including this one. The photo that I bought this from is horrible, so I've cropped out part of it. Looking forward to making a good scan.

Ben, that's such an amazing piece.

Is it in an oval-cut matt?

Ben,
That is a Beautiful edition to a photo collection that already belongs in a museum.

The one you posted I sweet too! Thanks Scott. No... Not in and oval... Why? Did you own one before? This is a underwood and underwood photo raw in a photo archival book/page in my safety deposited box until I figure out framing some things:)

Thanks michael... I am really happy with it. It is so clear.... It makes me think of dead poets Society scene when I see it... Trying to listen really close/hard for whispers:)

I thought I saw curved edges at the top and bottom right, as if there was an oval matt over the piece. Must have been wrong.

No, definitely never have seen that image before - it's a great one.

Ahhh... gotcha.. no just normal wear:) Thanks Scott

Steiner Eli Manning seat. Steiner #1 of 10.

2001 Yankee American League Championship Ring.

Raiders superbowl XVIII Player's Ring

Just won this Saturday night. It's 11x17 and comes from Wagner's family. The item I regret selling more than any other was a 1909 supplement of the Pirates that hung in Wagner's Forbes Field office. This is close enough.

DUDE!!!! WOW.. that is awesome!

Wow:eek::eek::eek:

Scott, that is simply magnificent! Congratulations.

Thanks guys - I was very happy to get it. I hope I'm smart enough to just hang it on my wall and let it hang there until I'm dead.

Beautiful Scott. Congrats! :eek:

Awesome piece Scott

Whoa! Very nice Scott...the pickup of the month award goes to you! :)

REALLLLLYYYYYYY JEALOUS...What a wonderful piece. Congrats indeed sir.

Scott,

You've outdone yourself with this one. Very nice piece. :)

Congrats.

Killer Piece - congratulations!

Thanks guys. It's going to look good on the wall near the 1906 Pirates team cabinet.

I agree nice photo Scott!

Thanks Clint. I was just looking at another scan of the photo, and I'm amazed at the clarity - here's some detail:

Scott,
Mr. Wagner is magnificent. Eyes so sad, or perhaps just at peace. It's a fantastic image and I truly hope he stays on your wall forever.

Michael,
I have no appreciation for sports jewelry, but your enthusiasm and focus is awesome to see. Thanks for posting your finds.

The diversity of things people collect is a real inspiration.

+1:)

Wow! Great item Scott!!

Scott,

Great pickup! Seems like you have been on a terrific roll lately!
