Pete:

Wish you still had it too, I would be trying to buy it from you (but probably could not afford it).

Here is the earliest known professional baseball team photo of the Bambino, Opening Day, 1914 Baltimore American News (Babe is in the front row, center)..........

This original George Burke 1935 portrait of the Babe in his last hurrah, is certainly one of his final posed images as a Ballplayer, as this photo was taken by Burke in Chicago between May 9th and May 21st. Of course the Bambino's last game was played at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh on May 25th, 1935.

This was picked up yesterday, has some of the same characteristics of a Burke Stand-up (right size, beveled wood, same thickness and style. It is approx. 7" tall and obviously pasted against a (newer) board instead of in a stand. Perhaps you have seen this picture before? If so is it a known Burke photo.

Recent pickup---not a remarkable Ruth item except via condition. Probably the nicest store model bat I've seen and I would be surprised if it's ever been used.
