Amigos,Thanks for all your positive comments…Not to beat a dead horse but FYI I featured this statue as my latest Sports Antique of the Week on my site, link above…plus in the same story I posted 160 photos of what I saw at the April 14th Rose Bowl Flea market…The first page of the story is pretty much the same verbiage as this thread…the second page is fresh though…and discusses an interesting huge Harley Davidson sign plucked out of the Rose Bowl and shipped overseas…

Always great to see your travels Carlton. Some great things in the Flea photos.

What was the story on the 8 1 6 baseballs?

I'd love those stage lights.

Martin,
Oh yeah...those baseballs...I saw those right about the end and zeroed right in...Seller said he'd had them about 20 years...didn't know what they were for...said bought in...I think he said an estate sale in CT....or somewhere in New England....made out of galvanized sheet...looked maybe 30's...I think they were like $100.00 or $175.00 for all....they were cool but just couldn't get behind them...What was I gonna do...lay out $150.00 and store them like he had for 20 years...then bring them out to the Rose Bowl again LOL...I suppose there may have been other numbers originally...You can see the cloth and wire handles on the back of one....so they may have been used to display the score....maybe by some mascot babes or something...just don't know....very folk artish...I liked them but just couldn't ascertain the meaning behind them...

Yeah I see stage lights like those now and then at fleas in California...especially in So Cal..

Were those two bats anything good? The one looks like it has a thick handle on it.
