I'm looking for Spalding NL boxes...Old ones!

[BrandonG]

Hey everyone, I've been having a lot difficulty finding some pre 1930 Spalding Official National League boxes, so I thought I'd just throw it out there that I am in the purchasing, trading mode! If you've got any NL boxes from the 1900-1920's in ANY CONDITION, I'd be very interested. Please PM me. Also, I always like to throw it out there that any generous contributions/discounts for me are greatly appreciated, and will earn you a credit in the book!

Nobody has any boxes? No wonder I'm having such a tough time finding them!

Obviously the ball didn't match the box, but is the box worth more than the ball.....it was up for auction, then someone (U?) talk them in to buying it now.

Really wierd, I just bought this box in Jamestown, Ca at about noon today. I have no idea of the era or value but thought I'd post it after seeing this post. Any info would be appreciated...

Paul, I did get that box & ball, and you're right, the box is worth more, the ball was just an extra piece. Were you bidding on it? There was only one bid, they emailed me and I offered them a BIN. (Sorry if you were the one bidder, they seemed disappointed in the bidding activity).

AndyPCL - That is a late Frick / early Giles National League dozen box. Used between 1949-1957.

No, it wasn't me, I was just watching it, just curious to see what it was going to go far.

So no worries here, glad you got it!
