Here are what my dad and I picked up in Brimfield. We were there Wednesday through Friday morning, and bought a lot, but we didn't find anything earth shattering. We also enjoyed meeting up with net54 member Alan, picking up some great items from him. The favorite item we picked up on the trip is a circa 1900 Yale baseball action panoramic. In the photo with the panoramic is an Adirondack Simmons style bat, an off condition Spalding Axletree ring bat, a large Ivy League track race finish photo, and a small circa 1910 hockey photo in rough condition. In the second photo, shown are a unmarked dog ear helmet, a childs turn of the century football, an Army sweater, a catchers mitt with Decker Patent, and 2 basketball team photos (1 Dickinson Law school team). The third photo shows the majority of our clothing purchases which included a 1930's football jersey, a 1950's football jersey, an heavy wool sweater with a H, a vintage Andover hockey sweater, a nice 3/4 length sleeve Baseball uniform, and a Naval Academy boxing robe. Also shown in this photo are a pair of Everlast boxing gloves, 3 early corkballs, and a very nice Spalding Pittsburgh pennant. In the last photo, we picked up several banners and pennants - most relating to St Pauls School. St Pauls has 3 school teams that competed with each other - Old Hundred, Isthmian, and Delphian. Hockey legend Hobey Baker played football and hockey at St Pauls for the Old Hundred team. Also in this photo are 2 Football mayos, a Carlisle Indians v. Syracuse ticket, a cool Dartmouth dorm room photo with a football broadside shown, a Phillips Andover football cabinet photo, a baseball team cabinet, and a 1917 St Paul's school hockey program. Overall it was a fun trip, and Brimfield really exemplifies the thrill of the hunt. If anyone sees anything they might like, most of these items will be listed for sale on
AntiqueSportsShop.com in the near future.
