June Pickup Thread

slidekellyslide · #1 05-31-2009, 12:39 PM

Just got this nifty pinback off of ebay. The "Murphy Did It" team of Omaha, NE...the picture is out of a book on Omaha baseball...I once bid on the postcard but got outsniped for it...have never seen another since.

ksfarmboy · #2 05-31-2009, 02:28 PM

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".

andypcl · #3 05-31-2009, 02:42 PM

Nice one Dan! I'm not sure why a town of maybe just a few hundred would have a baseball association but they are very near a few towns that did have minor league clubs.

slidekellyslide · #4 05-31-2009, 02:48 PM

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

ksfarmboy · #5 05-31-2009, 02:51 PM

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.

Got this magazine at an auction. Has great articals on Satchel Paige,George Halas, Casey Stengel, Johnny Lujack and others with great pictures. D.

GrayGhost · #10 06-02-2009, 10:06 AM

Hi everyone. Im new to the forum, and this stuff is awesome. I am a semi collector, but due to finances, of not a lot, but LOVE the old memorabilia and stuff. Some really cool finds in this thread, esp the Negro league Postcard.

MGHPro · #11 06-03-2009, 03:19 PM

I'm sure many of you saw this on ebay, but I'm happy to add this one to the collection.
Matt

ksfarmboy · #12 06-03-2009, 03:53 PM

Wow Matt, that bat looks even better with your pictures. Awesome pickup and I'm glad you got it.

slidekellyslide · #13 06-03-2009, 04:12 PM

I just got this from the UPS man here at work a little bit ago...it doesn't fit on my scanner (which is why it's blurry) so that's the best I can do without a camera...the photo is actually a cabinet photo. This also came with a scrapbook of the team from a young gal that followed them from the first day of the season to the last and cut out every single article from the newspaper.

I can't wait to get home because my wife called and said a package has arrived. I'll take photos and show that item tonight.

ksfarmboy · #14 06-03-2009, 04:20 PM

Dan, very cool WL item. Show us the book when you get a chance too.

mjkm90 · #15 06-03-2009, 05:04 PM

Congrats Matt! I thought D. B. won that one!?!?!

slidekellyslide · #16 06-03-2009, 05:49 PM

These were waiting for me when I got home....they were sold in a lot, but I really only wanted the Nebraska State League sealed baseball. The rest are up for trade if someone has any Nebraska related memorabilia or cards.

the rest are
Florida State League (Sealed), Eastern League (Sealed), Northwest League, Northern League, and Sophomore League.

slidekellyslide · #17 06-03-2009, 05:51 PM

Clint, here's a shot of the 1940 Norfolk scrapbook and photo.

Jim VB · #18 06-03-2009, 07:35 PM

Dan,

Send them in to Coach's Corner. I'm pretty sure they have some "big" signings scheduled.

ksfarmboy · #19 06-03-2009, 08:33 PM

Dan, very cool I love those old scrapbooks.

timzcardz · #20 06-04-2009, 06:49 AM

I'm anxiously awating the arrival of this from Huggins and Scott . . .

ksfarmboy · #21 06-04-2009, 05:41 PM

Just got this in the mail. Not vintage but another O's favorite.

slidekellyslide · #22 06-04-2009, 06:07 PM

Nice Clint....how many O's jerseys do you have now?

ksfarmboy · #23 06-04-2009, 06:59 PM

Thanks Dan. This is my 9th knit and I have one flannel too. I bought this about 2 months ago and it took shipping it twice through the post office and once through UPS to get it. It was worth the wait though.

yanks12025 · #24 06-05-2009, 03:05 PM

I know this is really far from baseball but it's my only june pickup so far, it's still vintage though. It's a 1943 Smith-Corona 03-A3, 30-06, most likey used in WW2.

slidekellyslide · #25 06-05-2009, 03:12 PM

Smith-Corona made rifles? Was this during the war years only?

yanks12025 · #26 06-05-2009, 03:22 PM

Dan,
When the war came around the government had them start making rifles. They went from typewriters to military rifles then switched back after the war.

The pen may be mightier than the sword, but I suppose that the rifle IS mightier than the type writer

mushroomnob · #28 06-05-2009, 05:11 PM

two new items:

Johnny Mize louisville slugger cardboard store display not in mint condition.

Panoramic photo of Ternstedt baseball league 1930

CarltonHendricks · #29 06-06-2009, 03:57 PM

Picked this up over Memorial Weekend 32 3/8" x 25 1/2". Artist Frederic Stanley (1892-1967) did Coca Cola illustrations too.

thekingofclout · #30 06-06-2009, 04:07 PM

Hello everyone. I'm brand new to the board but not the hobby. Am basically a news service photo collector but dabble in memorabilia, autographs, and ticket stubs. Here are a few items I just picked up...

My best regards, Jimmy

Great stuff.... love those Willie Mays Sunglasses. Did those come from Inside the Park Collectibles? I know they recently had a pair. Very cool!

Carlton, do you have any information on Frederic Stanley??? It didn't even dawn on me about other works that he had done (including Coca Cola). My dad and I own this ORIGINAL painting by Mr. Stanley (assuming he's the same Frederic with a "c") that was done in 1913 for the James Hanley Brewing Company. Back in the thirties, the painting was actually insured by LLoyds of London by the brewery.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Edited to ad that I wonder if this is the same artist. Born in 1892 would have made him 21 when he did the painting. Not impossible, but...

HiNeighbor · #33 06-07-2009, 05:23 AM

FINALLY got something new worthwhile posting. Picked this up at the Shriner's Show in Wilmington yesterday from Phil Castinetti at SportsWorld.

1904 Regular Season Scorecard proudly stating "World's Champions" from the 1st WS victory over Pittsburgh the previous year.

Yes the Mays sunglasses are from Inside The Park's recent auction as well as the Braves Tom-Tom drum.

A few recent Burke photos I picked up...

Nice pickup there Greg!

and love that Rochester minor league stuff.

Looks like June has been good to everyone.

mjkm90 · #38 06-07-2009, 06:38 PM

Outstanding additions Greg. It's nice to see you back in action. I know you are torn between the brew and baseball collection, but keep fair balance will ya?...ha ha.

HiNeighbor · #39 06-08-2009, 11:07 AM

Hey Guys,

Glad to have finally posted something. It's been tough, Mike, real tough finding sports over the beer.

Anything I've seen lately for the Sox has been either not to my liking, or way too expensive. It was nice to pick up the '04 scorecard.

Carlton,

Any chance of posting a close-up of the artist's signature on that piece?
I would love to compare it. From what I can see on your scan, it looks pretty darn close to that on my dog (also known as "The Watchdog of Quality").

Thanks again,
Greg

BrockJacob · #40 06-08-2009, 11:12 AM

Happy to check this off the wantlist

CarltonHendricks · #41 06-08-2009, 06:05 PM

Greg, That's a great painting, probably one of the best bull dog paintings extant. Reminds me of a bull dog poster I have that may be my favorite non-sport poster ever though it's a bit beat up, see below. Don't know a whole lot about Frederic Stanely off hand. Below a shot of the signature on the poster, plus another non sport poster I have that he did.

HiNeighbor · #42 06-09-2009, 09:40 AM

Thanks for posting those pics Carlton. Love your dog as well. I'll have to check the signature when I get home. Seems a little different, but it could be a timeline thing.

The Hanley Brewery used this Bulldog on much of it's advertising in the thirties and forties. I have a ton of stuff showing the bulldog, which in one way is sort of bad because I kind of get tired of seeing so much of it all over my room

You can see him and all his puppies at our website

www.rhodeislandbreweryhistory.com

just go to the Hanley section

All the best,
Greg

CarltonHendricks · #43 06-09-2009, 11:22 AM

Greg, You're welcome...just from eyeballing it, I'd be surprised if it's not the same artist...Is that painting the center piece of your Hanley collection? That illustration at the bottom the Hanley page of the puppy in front of the painting saying "That's my pop" is quite something...that would be your painting I assume....great website you have... I like the music intro...if it the same artist, please post a photo of the signature.

HiNeighbor · #44 06-10-2009, 06:23 AM

Carlton,

Will get a photo of the signature, hopefully tonight. I've been swamped with meetings this week at night and have only been home to sleep.

Yes, that painting in the puppy print is our painting. Although the painting is pretty cool, it's not really the center of our Hanley pieces. The best Hanley piece in our collection is the round reversed glass sign with the silver lettering and original frame c. 1900. That is hand painted and just a killer piece of advertising in it's own right. Then again, picking and choosing what piece is your best piece is kind of like saying you have one favorite child out of many.

All the best,
Greg

bobbvc · #45 06-11-2009, 03:50 PM

Nice Wagner fishing photo with names written in Wagner's hand on back-
L/R- Abbaticchio, Miller, Wagner, Clarke, (last one unreadable)

canjond · #46 06-11-2009, 03:54 PM

That's a great photo!

bmarlowe1 · #47 06-11-2009, 04:07 PM

Can you post a scan on what was written for the guy far right?

bobbvc · #48 06-11-2009, 04:27 PM

bmarlowe1 · #49 06-11-2009, 07:20 PM

Well - I also can't match the last one to a name or nick-name, nor can I match the face. It almost looks like "Reserve".

bat_master · #50 06-11-2009, 07:37 PM

Isn't the last one "Revere"?
