Mark,
That fan is superb. Is that the one Carlton has pictures of you haggling for at the National?
Mark V...
It's actually a different Fan. The one from the National was sepia-toned and had many players of the day lining the perimeter. This colored one is perhaps even earlier, and depicts a generic baseball game in progress. I loved the artwork and muted colors (and was under-bidder in the Mastro Auction last year). When it recently re-surfaced on ebay, I snagged it.
These Fans are tough, because they are usually found beaten to hell (if found at all). Just another cool and obscure niche of this wonderful hobby!
Thanks, Mark

Thank you! I'm a little kid in a candy store right now
The original owner even wrote up a two-page letter about his experience meeting the Babe that he included with my purchase.
