Happy to add my 5th Yankee stadium seat. Also picked up these vintage Spalding catchers shin guards.

Real excited to add the first pennant to my collection in quite a while. The game was played at Ford's Rotunda Field, locally in the Detroit area ,in front of about 6000 fans . The Mickey Cochrane led Great Lakes team fielded eight former major league ball players including Johnny Mize, ex-Tiger Barney McCoskey and Gene Woodling.

Congrats, Adam! I saw that pennant and had it on my watch list. Very cool!

Not crazy about the content but love the look and feel of it. The size is 28" x 20".

Picked up this Tankard with an engraved Baseball scene with batter, catcher, pitcher, shortstop & third basemen. I love the batter with the handle bar mustache! Stamped on the bottom Reed & Barton and has the name Thomas Mason Carpenter engraved on the side.

This thing is not the easiest to photograph & get everything in one pic. Is this something that should be shined up on left alone?

BTW, Adam and Mike,
I believe that there is also a Bob Feller version of this pennant. I have a letter from Bob Feller to Ford outlining the details of an exhibition game between his Great Lakes Naval squad and the Ford nine.

Have either of you ever seen such a pennant?

If you'd like, I can dig out the letter and post it.

Not really a new pickup but a discovery in my own items. Obtained a 1926 World Series program a few months back and didn't realize this was tucked inside until the other day. Rough shape due to folding but still neat due to age and it's the Cardinals first world series team.

[Tigerden]

Thanks Mike! Scott I wouldn't be surprised if there was a pennant made for a contest in 1944 when Feller was the managing the team. I would love to see anything you may have about the game. I believe Feller pitched a no hitter in a contest between the Ford League Stars. It would be natural to highlight the famous players participation in the exhibition in order to draw more fans. Cochrane of course being a Detroit legend at the time and Feller being the most famous pitcher in baseball at the time.

So I'm pretty sure I shared this last month (or earlier this month). My dad is a Marine, and I figured that it would be cool to have my framer but something nice together for him... I'm sure the jersey was widely used, but I found a photo of the 1943 marine corps air station (el toronado) team wearing identical jerseys...
I'm going to give it to him tomorrow, hope he likes it!
