January Pickups
I've been pretty quiet the last few months... Got somewhat bored with the hobby, and decided to take a little time off to figure out which direction I am headed in for 2015...
I'm still not certain! but I came this bat, it immediately brought me back to my childhood and I had to have it! I grew up in the Massachusetts suburbs and got into the game in the mid 80's.... The Gator was one of my favorites... Played his entire MLB career in Boston, and managed to bat .303 for his career the bat has some pretty heavy pine tar, and ever so slight crack that you have to look for to see, and the Gators #39 on the knob |

Wasn't Guidry known as that also? Finally, wasn't Greenwell runner up MVP one year to Canseco and there was the talk (like with Braun) of giving him the award? I know my syntax is garbled....it's early!

I'm glad you like it George
These are believed to date from the 1930s. They were made in Italy and this example was sold via Comoy's of London who were well known pipe makers and tobacco distributors (their label is on the bottom) dating back to the 1880s. It's metal with porcelain lining and stands 8" tall. The baseball scene is well executed and only appears on one side. The figural baseball on the lid is a wonderful design feature that is sometimes missing.
