Guessing these are fantasy pieces due to the sheer volume of them hitting Ebay:

Notice how the faces are all the same. I've seen this with a lot of Babe Ruth watches on eBay. The clocks/watches may be old, but the faces aren't. Some sellers are open about it, some aren't.

They were doing cigarette cases a while back with phoney engravings from ballplayers. Kind of like some of the more recent fake fantasy Mantle items from the Holiday Inn..... PT Barnum would be proud of these guys!

They do have a nice look to them

But I agree if it is not authentic it is not for me.

You didn't know? Ty Cobb was the David Hasselhoff of his day. :D
