Default What non paper items do you collect

Posted By: Julie

1955 Brooklyn Dodgers World Series Press Pin(A Dodger's cap on a white baseball)
1974 As World Series Pin( three leaf clover with wins in '72, '73 '74)
1989 As World Series Pin (elephant and stuff--not too original)
Pin put out when Henderson broke the stolen base record. (henderson holding base above head)
Lovely Dummy Hoy pin (from when he was inducted into the Ohio hall of fame? Very pretty.)


1 1955 Jackie Robinson Topps red metal pin.
1 Domino Disk Christy Mathewson--whoops--paper center.
1 P2 Jennings (large)
1 Diamond Gum Eddie Plank pin.
1) '30s Gehrig pin--"National Game"?
2 baseballs: 1 signed by Willy Mays and Juan Marachal--and then Al Lopez. Then someone told me it was no good anymore because the damned Yankee had been added. One of the '49 Yankees, fading rapidly. Joe D on thr sweet spot.

Lots of beautiful opals, ivory, tiny rubies and diamonds, some turquiose, garnets, amathysts, tourmaline, carnelian, and a small emerald, a tiny emerald and a citrine. Set in gold and silver.

A rock collection with crystal and amathyst geodes, garnet, an ivory carving, foolsgold, opal, agates, etc. And things I have forgotten the names of!

Paintings and drawings by my friends Ben Fisher (baseball and otherwise), Alex Peter, Carolyn McLauchlin, and somewhat more famous friends of my Mom's; my mother's great photos, especially of black people in Selma, Alabama in 1937 (but also of her kids--mostly naked!). Many baseball photos, including 10 or more original Conlons.
My mom was a geologist and a photographer, and also loved beautiful jewelry.
