August pick ups

[Lordstan]

Wow. 16d into the month for someone to start a pickup thread. That has to be a record.

My 3 new pick ups.
1)1952 album of Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Knute Rockne. Autographed by Christy Walsh
2) Snapshot of Lou Gehrig signing autograph in Spring Training.
3) 1920s record of Babe Ruth's Home Run Story. I think it's a 78. It is available for sale or possbly trade.

Very cool stuff Mark. I picked up this circa 1938 Johnny Vander Meer pin with ribbon.

Just yesterday, I learned who the original Bumpus Jones was.

I love the pin!

Very nice pin. Was that released at the time of his no hitters?

Thanks, fellas. Yes, Mark I believe it was shortly after he pitched his no-hitters and perhaps carried over into the following season...

Great posts so far -- love those records and the Vandy pin!

I was channeling my inner Carlton when I picked up this piece at a flea market in Central NY this week. It's bronze, huge and very heavy.
Not baseball obviously, but I just love the look. I didn't buy it when I first saw it, but when I went back, it was still there, so it came home with me.

Here it is and a brief description from the web on it

very interesting, vintage, figural cigar / cigarette lighter of Baseball Player in Batter's Stance. This Art Metal Works / Ronson (of Newark, NJ) lighter is sometimes referred to as the Babe Ruth (or Honus Wagner) lighter or "liter." Its base is marked with embossed lettering: "COPYRIGHT 1913 BY LOUIS.V. ARONSON."

That’s ver cool. What is the purpose of the “pokey” thing?

That is the striker. That would be "light" and you would take out of the top of the head and use it to light your cigar or whatever you are smoking

That is a great peice.

I posted this on the card side because of the Polar Bear reference but figured I'd throw it up here as well.

Thanks.
Its big, I'd guess about 5ft tall but haven't measured it.

That's a great baseball lighter Jeff!

Those two signs are both off the charts -- where do you hang a twelve foot sign Ron???

That's an incredible sign. Any idea of how old it is.

Sincere Congrats! You've made me jealous. I bought a Casey at the Bat figurine 5+ years ago, but it arrived broke at the heel. That was my last attempt at Disney art.
