Vandy presentational piece
I don't own a Vandy watch, although he was given one by his hometown of Midland Park, NJ following his 1st of 2 consecutive no-hitters in 1938.
I do ironically have a photo of him receiving the watch on the field prior to the game played on June 15, 1938 at Ebbets Field. Oh yeah, that was also the 1st Night Game ever played at Ebbets and he pitched his 2nd no-hitter that day...
Here is a bejeweled tie clasp/pin that he received after winning the 1940 NL Championship. Unfortunately I don't own this piece, but I have seen it in a private collection.
Vandy was the winning pitcher and drove in two runs with a double in the NL clincher.
