Dan was Murphy's some type of automaker/dealership or was it just the name of the team? Neat little pickup.
I got this 1919 panorama of the Ft. Leavenworth 49th infantry teams. Pretty long panorama at 42".

Clint, Murphy's started out making wagons and then moved to automobiles in the early 1900s. Sweet yardlong there btw. and nice pin Andy.

Thanks Dan. That was a complete guess on the automobile part. It just looked like some similiar automotive pins I've seen in the past.

Hi-
I acquired the two pieces scanned below last month, but I did not scan them until recently, so I am counting these as June pickups. Thanks to BigFish (Toby) for the cabinet card! The picture of the Wesley team (most likely from Wesley Maine) was an antique show find. I love the puffy pants in the cabinet photo as well as the possible identification on the back (Churchill, not a known ballplayer, but I still like having a name to go with a photo). With the Wesley team photo, I was drawn to the knob on one of the bats as well as the catcher's mask on the ground.

I don't post much over on this side, but I'm quite happy with some old Life magazines that I purchased at a yard sale the other day. The time honored gentleman had 3 stacks of Life magazines dating from 1957 to 1967. I took my time and searched each magazine looking for sports articles. I ended up buying close to a dozen. The nice man drove a hard bargain, asking me for a dollar for each magazine and three dollars for the one issue with Marilyn Monroe on the cover. Thought that I might share this story. I will post half of a scan since the magazines were so large in those days that they won't all fit on my scanner.
