Very neat Jimmy...

I have the Reds' version. My Dad bought this as a souvinir for my sister in 1967, at Crosley Field. So it's a special piece in my collection, not having been acquired later in life. She forgot she had it, found it 40 years later, and gave it to me for Christmas last year. I guess she wasn't planning on wearing it again

Also wanted to post a few other odds and ends (since practically my whole collection is made up of them!) Baseball has had a lot of cool smoking related items through the years. Here are 3 figural pieces related to smoking...

* Early 1900s Bulldog Batter (his cap flips open, to reveal a lighter)
* Early 1900s Catcher Ashtray (check out the spiderman mask and reeded shinguards)
* 1930s Batter Pipestand (sold to me as a Babe Ruth piece, but that's ebay for you - still pretty neat!)
