Phil, I actually got a really good deal from a dear friend. I am lucky to own such a piece. It is amazing how clear it is.. love the old steely tones of these early ones.

I didn't pickup up this piece this month, but just got around to photographing it. It is a 1960's Philadelphia Eagles "Sound of Brass" marching band uniform.

Here is an old original photo I have of the band performing at Franklin Field. This band was on the field playing Christmas tunes during the infamous 1968 halftime show that had Santa Claus pelted by snowballs.

Ben, that's such an amazing piece.

Is it in an oval-cut matt?

I am not exactly sure what this is, looks to be some promo for a saloon in Philadelphia, not sure if they gathered there to watch one of those mechanical baseball displays and get the Series "broadcast/wired" to them like was shown in Eight Men Out and seen in pictures people watching re-creations in the streets.


Any additional info would be much appreciated.

1. C. 1900 Schmelzers Sporting Goods football shoes with wooden cleats;. 2. 1907 Yale baseball program (one major leaguer represented);
3. Not baseball, but I know there are some Hartland collectors; 1940's Mastercrafters/Sessions clock with large Hartland Champ horse. Clock works. The nicest one I have seen.
