November pick-ups
I started November with a bang and got three things off eBay yesterday see below.
First mention, I got this die cut 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" "trade card scrap" of a pudgy baseball catcher. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWNX:IT He's wearing a catchers mask so we know it's from after catchers masks caught on, after 1877. His belt has the words "Gargling Oil Liniment' on it and the discription says there's something info on the back about "Wanzer".....I hardly know anythig about cards and trade cards but am I rich now? I'd consider trading it for a late model Porsche or Ferrari Next I got a cool Rose Bowl lugage label which I've never seen before. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWNX:IT Then I got this wire photo of Ronald Reagan posing for a football statue...I had to get it because of the sports sculpture tie in. FOr those of you too young to remeber Reagan was our 40th president http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Great pick-ups Carlton...
The Rose Bowl tag is sweet as I live like a mile away from there.
I started off the month in good fashion as well... Vintage original 1951 players patch that only the American League players wore due to the AL's Golden Anniversary (first one that I have come across). 1951ALpatch.jpg circa 1960's original vintage TYPE I photograph of Sandy Koufax taken by the legendary lensman Don Wingfield. koufaxwingfield.jpgkoufaxwingfieldstamp.jpg And a neat little item, a custom shot glass from Casey Stengel's estate. caseyshotglass.jpgcaseyshotglassLOA.jpg Last edited by thekingofclout; 11-03-2009 at 07:30 AM. |

A pair of Game Used Umpire Hats c. 1970's

catchers mitt
i have to agree with the glove forum that the reach catchers glove is a kids model.

I don't know myself. Emails and posts from experienced collectors are running about 50/50 - adult versus youth. Nice 100 year old item regardless.

My feeling is that the mitt is somewhere in between. It's too big for a true kid's size and smaller than the large adult size. Junior or amateur size would probably be the most appropriate designation, something most likely for use by high school players. It's an interesting mix of features versus cost saving construction. Great looking mitt.

Carlton,
Your trade card is hand-cut from the H804-7 set. Here are pics of some of these cards, including yours: http://imageevent.com/ernestreyes/19...=0&w=4&s=0&z=2 |

I just picked up this awesome signed ball for a very good price here. My friend and I figure its at a dinner/banquet or something in early 60s, as two of the names on here had passed by 65, and a couple guys went into HOF in 1962. Any ideas on that theory appreciated.
Nice mix of HOF'ers, future HOFers and regular guys, w some tougher sigs. Pics are a bit blurred, but here ya go. Most signatures VERY strong. |

Weekend Haul
I don't chime in very often but I keep up with the forum regularly. I wanted to share the haul I brought in this past weekend. A good friend of mine passed away a few weeks ago and his wife asked me to take his collection. Although there weren't many eccentric and rare items, I'll probably never have a better day from a collecting standpoint than I did on Saturday. Most things are pre 1930 with 15 ca 1910 catchers masks, many gloves including a nice Reach Duck Web, uniforms, many, many team photos, rain cap helmet, much golf and tennis along with the baseball, basketball, and football items I'll show you here. Dan, note the framed Nebraska Indians basketball broadside! Enjoy the pics.

More pics from Haul
I know this is a baseball thread but I thought you might enjoy the scope of the whole thing. A question, the uniform with the blue A on the breast is a Spalding and has professional looking sewn names in pants and collar. Any idea what team may be? I assume it's minor league 1930s-40s.

Bert, nice haul, but your post makes me a bit sad because I think I knew your friend. A lot of that stuff I recognize from the antique malls on I-80 in Ashland and Omaha. I can't remember the fellows name, but I bought stuff from him and talked to him on the phone a few times and also chatted with him when he used to set up at the Lincoln antique shows. I hadn't been to the Ashland mall in a few months and when I went in there a few weeks ago I noticed all of his stuff was gone. I had my eye on the Nebraska Indians broadside, but he always wanted too much for it....That Duckweb glove he had something like $2,000 on it...not sure what it's actually worth, but it must be pretty rare. The last item I bought from him was a nifty O'Neill, NE cabinet photo.

Don Girard was his name...a very good guy and he was set up at those places. Lived in North Platte for years but health forced him to Omaha. His wife really wanted the stuff out of the house and essentially didn't want anything for it. All of the stuff had price tags on it with much of it priced high. I'm thankful to have it all and will disperse of much of it when I get time. Dan, feel free to email an offer on the NI broadside. I'm going to take it out of the frame and take a closer look at it.

Just got this game in the other day. Its the first I've ever seen of it. Its called "Ideal Baseball Game" and was made by Carrom-Archarena. The seller said it dated to 1910 but I'm not sure how they came to that conclusion. Anyone have information about it?

From mark Cooper's book...
Dr. Cooper lists an 'Ideal Baseball Game, 1903, Fiber board, wood, and net pockets. Karrom-Archarena, Ludington, Michagan, 29" x 29" " on page 124 of his book. The games are different....perhaps yours is from a later year?

I knew I had seen this game before. There is one acually hanging in the Cracker Barrell Resturant down the road from me. I was looking at it the other day and kept saying to myself how familiar it was. I thought maybe a 30'-40's table top game or something. If its worth anything let me know because I will buy the one on the wall if its priced right. PG 3 #26post

November Pickups
Went to a local antique show and an antique mall today and came away with some interesting items. The first is the back of a salesman's sample page with pictures of Jim Thorp, Ty Cobb, Hal Chase, Joe Wood, John McGraw, Tris Speaker and Herzog. I have included a shot of the sample page in which someone had glued some pictures of womens fashion of the day. The piece measures about 16x20 and is on heavy stock. I also have another one of these which pictures generic golfers.
The next item is a Goldsmith baseball catalog for spring and summer, 1911. It contains images of Wagner, Mathewson, Chase, Lajoie and others. The catalog contains mostly baseball supplies and equipment, but some football, track, and college pennants. The third item is a pair of vintage football hip pads. I do not know the years these were used, but they appear to be old. The manufacturer's label is gone, but they appear high quality. The last item is a 1951 Chicago Cubs Anniversary pennant. It is not in great shape, but it is the first one of these I've seen. |

Gargling Oil Linament
Carlton,
What you have is a cut out from one the 5 Merchant's Gargling Oil Liniment cards from 1888. These are postcard sized cards on paper stock. John Harrell |
