"Thanks, Chris! Spalding was the manufacturer.

That Bees hat is a stunner! It's in beautiful condition. I thought it was interesting that the leather band matches this example ..."

Chris, it was that McKechnie cap I used to verify the authenticity of mine. The one I have is missing the Horace Partridge patch, which was glued to the inside, and not stitched. When looking at mine under a bright light, you can see the outline of the patch and light glue residue from where it was attached.

Two of my favorite National pick ups. The framed team picture is believed to be the 1897 Temple Owls. I haven't been able to verify that yet. Image is 16" x 13". The second is a 1902 copyright football print by John Sheridan, Princeton football.

Fantastic Sheridan poster, Bill! Thank you for sharing!

Nice pickup Bob. I saw your trophy sitting in the showcase with a 'Sold' tag on it. I have a Spalding pitcher, but it's my only one, so I can't part with it.

While not a Spalding trophy, I picked this one up after a little negotiating with Keith Javic (sp?). Glad I brought it home. It's dated 1929 and is from a Buffalo, NY. American Legion league. It's about 14" tall and rather heavy.

Thanks Casey and your welcome.

This is a wire photo of Babe Ruth playing a benefit game with the St. Paul and Minneapolis police right after he retired in 1935. He played half the game with each team.

Newest pickup, 1977 Jersey City Indians program. I wish the autographs weren't on it.

I believe I have the program to this game. I always liked that photo. I have a scan of it somewhere.
