Up until tonight, my best Ebay find was a Paul Thompson photo of Connie Mack & Ira Thomas, which is autographed by Ira Thomas. A similar photo was taken by Charles Conlon for the 1911 World Series, so I assume this was also taken at the same World Series game. As I mentioned this had been my "greatest" find until this evening.

Earlier tonight, however, I won a Spaulding Baseball Charm/Medallion for under $35.00, which I had originally seen in the October 6th issue of SCD back in 1995. When I called to purchase this item back in 1995, the gentleman in Minnesota told me that he had already sold the item, which had been priced at $95.00.

I was very dissapointed since the charm was inscribed ........."MT CHAMPIONS 1916 ST. PAUL CITY R. MCMENEMY." Growing up my dad had mentioned that a branch of the family had moved to the Midwest, and the other branch had stayed in Massachusetts! P. McMenemy
