February 2024 pickups
 

I just obtained this 1929 Sacramento Senators (PCL) 14 x 14 broadside schedule, with the team pictured. Some of the more notable players are Dolph Camilli, Meryl Hoag, and minor league legend Tony Freitas. There are others who played a bit in MLB or had long PCL careers. There is also a Bucky Harris, but it is not that Bucky Harris. Many of the players will be familiar to Zeenut collectors.

I thought it was interesting that the team was playing home games in both Sacramento and Stockton (a historically significant California League town). Guess they were doing all they could in the middle of the Depression to earn $$.

Marc, I believe the Great Depression began at the end of the Summer of 1929.

1953 Kansas City Monarchs w/Ernie Banks
 

1953 Kansas City Monarchs photo with Ernie Banks. Originated from the scrapbook of Pancho Herrera.

So true. They were just getting ready.

I do love broadsides and have always had a hard time finding anything Giants. This one comes from a fellow collector who received it damaged, but had it repaired and matted (and wrapped in plastic at the moment). Given what it looks like damaged, I'm glad to have it in it's current condition. Still need to put a frame around it.

Beautiful

v cool

Two additional completed framed projects now up on the wall
 

After several years of collecting, I finally completed two additional framing projects that I have envisioned.

The 1st is the original 1999 Alvin, TX Nolan Ryan Day Proclamation that was posted at the event.
In 1999 Nolan Ryan, Alvin's favorite son, was inducted into the HOF in Cooperstown.

Troy Lewis, the acting Mayor of Alvin in 1999, gifted this Proclamation to a very close personal friend of mine, Ron Vender in Ontario, Canada.
At one time, Ron had one of the very best advanced Nolan Ryan collections in the hobby. I acquired it from Ron over 10 years ago when he changed his collecting focus to vintage hockey.
Go figure, he's in Canada! :D

The second project is focused on HOF Dizzy Dean and his brother Paul "Daffy" Dean that pitched a no-hitter in 1934.
The photo was purchased many years ago from net54 good guy Mike Knapp.
I loved the image from the first time I saw it and knew that eventually it would end up framed and on my wall.
The image was taken after Paul Dean's wedding in late 1934.

The final needed piece was a vintage fountain pen cut of the Dean brothers, which was recently offered on the BST by Moonlight Graham Joe.
Thanks Joe for allowing me to complete this project.
I hope you love it as much as I do. :)

Just picked up these 7 pins.

Incredible. Thanks for sharing, Scott!

Awesome Scott...

Beautiful framing/matting, and I've always loved that photo of the Dean Brothers with their spouses as well. Such a fun image, and so great that Mike made it available to you.

Tell us about the vintage glove that sits next to the Walter Johnson Southland Bronze. Would love to hear what it is, and any story behind it.

Great stuff!

New Lumber!
 

It's not often that I add to my personal collection but I was fortunate to add two to the wall so far this month.

Thanks Mark!
FYI, I have posted this glove before on net54.
It's a circa 1939 D & M Johnny Vander Meer endorsed glove.
I had A1 Glove Repair pump some life into it when I bought it.
It's was a toughee for me to find, FWIW

This month saw the acquisition of two vintage gloves that I have literally been pursing for decades. The first of which was this really high-end, c. 1953-1955, Spalding Model 1121 with Phil Rizzuto signature endorsement…

The second glove was this split fingered, Model JR46 made by Olympic Sporting Goods Co. of NYC…A Peerless Brand. It is a very rare, made in the USA, Jackie Robinson model glove.

Tim
those are beauties. How long is the Simmons bat? It looks like a nice one.

Today’s pinback button finds.

Love it

Great pick up Gary
