Default 4th April pickup thread

Posted By: Bruce Babcock



This N566 Newsboy cabinet just arrived today, from a Net54 lurker, after a long search. The only other one I have ever seen belongs to Net54 member David Smith. I've got 10 ot the possible 14 subjects now. I'm still looking for Tiernan, Fuller & Meekin + Ward (arms folded).

The group of ten may be viewed here if you are interested:

Murphy was 5'3 and nicknamed after his college alma mater. He played mainly (and fittingly) shortstop during a career of 130 games for the New York (ironically) Giants 1894-97. He died in 1906 at age 36.
