This piece was featured in another thread titles 1906 mirror. It never met reserve on ebay, so the owner an I agreed on a price. It belonged to his great Aunt in Chicago. I love it

Always loved that piece Mike...nice pickup. Congrats on your B Robby jersey Clint!

I picked this stuff up today in a lot from a local dealer...it's all related to the Lincoln Cleaning and Dye team that won the National Semi Pro championships in 1916.

Where did the Jackson bat sell?

Wow Dan, that was a sweet haul of pictures! Mike, I agree with Dan as I too have always liked those mirrors. I believe they are way under appreciated for the era they were made. Matt sweet Jackson bat. Congrats guys.

Atta boy Mike! Just great to see that you went on the offense for this terrific piece, instead of just waiting around to see if it got relisted. You get my vote for "Player of the Week"!

And Dan, what a fantastic follow up to your epic find of just a couple weeks ago! Those are some great images there. You've had quite a year and it ain't even half over yet!

Here are a couple of my most recent pick-ups. The First Sports Agent (and Babe was his first client!) Christy Walsh's brief professional autobiography entitled "Adios to Ghost" (regarding all the newspapermen he hired to ghostwrite stories for Ruth and many of the top players from that era) These were self published and consequently, are quite scarce. The few that I've seen have all been gifted and inscribed by Walsh. However, this example has a bonus... Walsh (whom was also a cartoonist) penned a terrific scene centered around the larger than life Bambino...

And I was very surprised when I came across this extremely rare 1968 Beatles/Yellow Submarine Candy Cigarettes empty box. Yellow Submarine Novelties made in England pale in comparison to their American counterparts, so finding this little gem was a huge find... for me anyway.

Thank You, Dan for the 1925 World Series photos, a picture of Glenn Wright from Historic Images and an antique shop pickup:
