1953 Brown & Bigelow Babe Ruth Playing Cards
Kind of new here so hopefully this is the right place to post this. I'm looking for some information, and to show off an old deck of cards that my grandfather recently passed down to me.
I believe the cards are from 1953 and from the Brown and Bigelow company as a promotional item. My grandfather was a kid around then and grew up in Stratford CT his whole life. Somehow over the years he came into possession of this deck of cards. They are very well played with, though all 52 are there (no jokers) What I find most interesting is that unlike other decks that are from "Joe's Garage" (or insert any other company) These are from the stone working company that actually build the Babe Ruth Monument out at the yankees stadium (as it says on the box). This is the only one I've been able to find online from this company and thought it was a cool addition. I'm not sure if anyone collects these or is cataloguing the different varieties, but here is the one I have. NFS, just wanted to share and see if anyone had any other information on the cards they could provide. Here is where I got the information I provided. http://keymancollectibles.com/cards/...eballcards.htm http://www.galuardi.com/family-blog/...eruthsmonument Last edited by JKPolk; 08-07-2023 at 09:08 AM. |
