One more pickup (inspired by Jimmy, as it's a nifty companion piece...)
First image is my Type 1 Photo of Walter Johnson. Note the Cleveland Cap, as Johnson was the Indians' Manager when this was shot was taken by legendary lensman Louis Van Oeyen. Second image is the 1947 Baseball Register, with a cover drawing of this photo. Note the Cap, however, with a "W" superimposed. I guess they thought the image would be better with Johnson depicted as a Senator. I probably overpaid for the 1947 Register, but found it to be an irresistable companion piece (as I had never seen this photo portrayed elsewhere).
