That medal and especially that pin are amazing. The photos are not too shabby either.

Incredible items posted!
 

Maybe 5 yrs ago I picked up this seat - the person who refurbished a bunch of these seats provided pics of how they originally looked and the overall purchase of a ton of seats.

Crosley Field - I believe the Reds played there from the early 1900s to about 1970.

I also recollect that this is the location of the first ML BB night game under lights?

Crosley Field Seat
 

Mike,

Great seat! I know Dave Grob did an in-depth study at one time on Crosley seats. Maybe you could reach out to him on this one?

A few Reds items I have on display...

Thanx for the kind words and reference.

Also, this WS press pin is awesome.

I picked up this jewel that used to hang in Crosley recently and it dates to 1964-65. Waite Hoyt's swan song as an announcer for the Reds and Burger Beer on the radio...

Hey Mark, great stuff, thanks for sharing.

Redland Field Panorama
 

Great memorabilia! I've never seen that panorama before. Can I see the players at the bottom of the panorama?

Wcky
 

Hey Chris,

Great sign! Stupid question, when did CKY give up the Reds rights to the mother flame thrower WLW?

Lots of great stuff guys!
Mark I especially like the ticket sign and the Vander Meer pennant.
What I don't understand is how you are able to keep your balance in that sideways house.

Greg

Hi Mark,
Me too! ;):D

House on it's side
 

I think Mark has too many Spalding trophies and that's what caused his house to roll to one side. I'd like to have his problem! LOL! :)

Superb!

As a board game collector this one is tops Mark.

I rarely see this one - tho there is one for sale on eBay if anyone wants to drop a grand.

Very nice buddy.

That Crosley field ticket sign is freaking awesome!


I wake up looking forward to this thread - love our circle of collecters here!

January 1940 Reds fan newsletter
 

Reds fan newsletter from January 1940. And what looks like a sports record book but is really a Wendell Wilkie presidential ad.

I had no intention of buying anything for the next few months (or even year). I've got a few health bills rolling in. My wife told me she'd kill me if I bought anything. But this came up.

I saw it 4 or 5 years ago for the first time - a little cheaper than the BIN I just paid. I missed it then, though, and I said if I ever see it again I won't be the loser again.

It'll be one of the top items for my 1939 and 1940 Reds collection. Super excited that it looks so presentable. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7885bda78a.jpg

Great item Tim and a perfectly placed signature!

It is well placed! Next to my world series program, wheaties back, and Louisville slugger ad it should make quite a presentation. I could even put in the Ernie Lombardi bobblehead. Or I could find the Lombardi bronze statue that was a give away at the stadium a few years ago.

A Pete Donahue pocket watch is for sale on ebay for $6,000. I'm thinking that's a little steep of a price. What are others thoughts?

If it kept good time, then maybe.

Description says watch is broke, needs repairs (actually it says it needs a crystal.... same thing).

The ticket sign from Crosley Field is beyond awesome! What a killer piece.

I posted this in the 1939-40 Reds thread, but thought I'd post it here as well. If you haven't seen the Lonny Frey Antique Roadshow appraisal, it's pretty cool. Enjoy.

If you have items more specific to the Circa '39 - '40 Reds, go ahead and post them on the other thread. I've seen great items on this thread, so I know they exist.

when I was a teenager I often visited Mr. Lutz at his home on Banning Road in the Groesbeck area of Cincinnati. Very nice man. He spent the entire 1922 season with the Reds as their bullpen catcher.

Reds
 

Spectacular condition. Still in shrink wrap.

Taking offers ~ Many other baseball albums to offer if anyone is interested.

A couple score cards from the 1888 season. The notes on one talk about Bid McPhee trying to score in the 10th and getting thrown out. The game ended in a tie. Must have been fun to watch.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b523144af2.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d49a6c431d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f40db72248.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...90d8692684.jpg

Those are fantastic!!

The Great Eight (And Sparky)
 

As a kid growing up in the 70s near the Cincinnati area, this group really made me a baseball and Reds fan for life. I spent many nights after "bedtime" sneaking a small transistor radio under my pillow so I could listen to the Reds' radio broadcasts on 700WLW. With the passing of the first member of the GRT8 (Morgan), I appreciate having this complete signed 1976 Sporting News more than ever. Thanks for the memories!

I forgot about these. Tucked away for a few decades now. Purchased the batting glove and tie from a guy called Whitey who had some attachment to Rose Bench and Carlton. My Dad loved the Tie so I gave it to him. He ended up buying several ties in various colors that he wore often. Whitey then sold my dad this as a Bench Gamer and my Dad then had Johnny sign this at a show and he gave it to me for Christmas. Found out about 20 years ago that is not a gamer but means even more to me than that Christmas years ago.

Cool postcard
 

Young Johnny has some swagger in his step.

Cincinnati reds check
 

Attachment 423731

Attachment 423732

Cincinnati Reds check written from Trustee Gary 'August' Hermann to Reds outfielder and National Baseball Hall of Famer Sam Crawford in 1902. This is check no. 2 from The Market National Bank account. Check No. 1 from this account is on display in the Reds Hall of Fame and Museum and was the check written to purchase the Reds in 1902. Sam Crawford has endorsed the check on the back. Rare autograph of Crawford during his playing days with the Reds before becoming a star with the Detroit Tigers.

Nice Auto...

Cincinnati reds cabinet card
 

Attachment 423736

Levi A. Gold Studio cabinet card of 1889 Cincinnati Reds with Bid McPhee.

Reds Lithograph by Bill Purdom. Signed by the starting nine. Until I saw Kreindler, I thought Purdom was the best baseball artist out there.

I might have made a deal with the devil to land the Reds Ticket Sign from Crosley Field. That sign is beyond cool!

Vande Meer Glove Box
 

I regretted not going after the one in Lelands as much as I should but another one popped up on eBay fortunately

Complete 1897 reds scorebook
 

Attachment 424003

Complete 1897 Reds Scorecard.

Congrats Bob! I like your purchase. :D
Not many of these bad boys floating around out there...

Vande Meer Glove Box
 

Scott, I knew you would :). Any idea where I can purchase a glove ? Thanks

I just sent you an e-mail! I've got you covered.

Great early vintage Reds scorebook!! :cool:

Purdom is pretty good.

I've been looking for a memorable Reds bat for some time, and I just picked up this signed 1958 beauty ...

Beauty Chris!

Pretty good player as well... nice gamer with great sigs! I love that era for Bats.

Fantastic items!

Circa late 1940's Ewell Blackwell personal model Goldsmith glove
 

I'm happy to have added this circa 1948 Ewell Blackwell Goldsmith glove.
This was Goldsmith's top of the line model during this era.

Blackwell aka "The Whip" came the closest to duplicating Johnny Vander Meer's "Vander Meeracle" of hurling two back to back no-hitters on June 22, 1947.
He lost his 2nd consecutive no-hitter with 1 out in the 9th inning while teammate Vandy watched from the top step of the Reds dugout.
Alas, it wasn't to be, but Blackwell had an amazing 1947 season, winning 16 consecutive games without a loss...

Sadly, Purdom died four years ago. His Willie Mays lithograph "The Catch" is just beautiful.

Great Blackwell items! Love the ticket and program. Here is my only Blackwell item. I enjoy Wheaties items, and this color full page ad is beautiful, IMO. I can't remember if I shared this on this thread before.
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ee68056b49.jpg

Great stuff guys! Let's keep the Blackie theme going with this circa 1950 pin.

Looks like Ewell Blackwell is having his moment in the sun today...;):D

Just added the tie to my crosley usher collection.

That is a fantastic piece! I don't recall seeing one of these before.

Way cool, Chris!

Fantastic Chris! Never seen one like it... great find!

Reds in the 1948 Bowman Set
 

Here are my signed 1948 Bowman Reds cards...the only Reds player included in the set that I'm missing is Herm Wehmeier. If anybody has one, or knows of any leads, I would greatly appreciate the help! (Wehmeier, Buddy Kerr and Dave Koslo are the only 3 cards I need to complete my signed 1948 Bowman set!)

Damn, that stuff is cool! Some heavy hitters among you Reds collectors. Glad I’m not competing! :p

I’m wondering, too. I love what you did, even if it’s just a computer creation.

Wonderful. Are these bats part of a larger Reds bats collection? If so, what years does it cover?
