Sorry this has taken so long, not all photos were accounted for, so before I put this information out there for all, I wanted to make sure those photos were in place.
The lots I will be talking about will be 286 thru 318, and 1156 and 1158.
There are some lots with many photos in each and here are some of the interesting ones not listed by Goldin. In the funeral photos should be two photos, identical, of 2 youths with baseball equipment stopped at the casket, and I think it says, game cancelled. One photo with both Mrs. Ruth and Mrs Gehrig together at casket. A view inside on St. Patrick Cathedral.
In one of the lots is wedding photo of Ruth's second marriage. Babe's 40th birthday cake, also two 1947 photos showing Ruth's grip.
There is one photo of Frankie Haggerty, who stood in for Ruth at Brother Gilbert's funeral. And a close up photo of Frankie Haggerty, very small photo.
There are three photo of Ruth in hospital after being struck by batted ball hit by Gehrig.
There is one photo of Ruth, Ott, Hubbell and Farley (Politician), at Radio City Music Hall, to give speech regarding death of Gehrig.
Two photos of Ruth giving blood to daughter Julie.
At lot 1158, is Yankee Dugout an moment of silence for Ruth. Why that photo so far away, I don't know.
All or most of these photos are hiding among the piles. At lot 1156 in Paul Waner, selecting a bat for hit number.
I can give you the stamp on the back and year, if available, and an approximate condition Just have to ask.
The golf photos have many HOFers. Speaker, Dean, Byrd, Foxx, Cobb,
Paul Waner.
Even one photo of Babe's grave marker, one year later, small marker taken before memorial was put in place.
Can't forget Ruth walking outside of Yankee stadium on his last day as a Yankee.
Just ask if you have any questions.
