19c Baseball Postal Covers

[Michael Peich]

All--

I am doing research on 19c baseball themed postal covers, and have included scans of three of mine. Each one is unique in its own way, but I particularly like Goldsmith's caveat that their ball is "guaranteed for one full game of 9 innings." It was the Dead-ball era!

Does anyone have covers they would share by sending scans, or would consider selling? My goal is to create a printed piece that showcases images of the originals.

Please send me an email at my home address: mpeich12@gmail.com.

Thanks for looking, and enjoy!

Cheers, Mike

Hey Mike
I don't know what I have with actual baseball stuff on them but I probably have a few with relationships to cards...

Thanks, Leon. I am looking for covers that show equipment, players, fields of play, etc. The Hess is interesting, but not what I seek. Wish I had it, though!

Cheers, Mike

I don't have any, but I really like them. One has a motif similar to this ribbon.

Gary--That's a beauty from the mighty Unions BBC. Wish it were represented on a cover! Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Mike

Mike - I don't have any baseball themed (I have a few general Spalding sporting goods), but those are very cool. I especially like the Goldsmith envelope. I look for these early advertising envelopes at Paper Shows, but haven't come across any baseball themed that were reasonably priced.
