My newest Lou.
1938 portrait made for the film Rawhide. Came from the Christy Walsh estate with a letter.
The scan doesn't do it justice. The detail and clarity are spectacular.





I was using a link from a Net54 album, but I changed to my photobucket copy. Hope it shows now.

After watching it for a few days, and a little research, I decided to just jump on the low BIN.

The Sipsey Mine Team from the Birmingham Industrial Leagues in the 30's.. Front row, 2nd from the left, is apparently Huey Green, father of World Golf Hall of Famer, and 1985 PGA Championship winner Hubert Green..

Lucked into part of an article from 2004 about the Industrial Leagues, that just happened to use the photo..

Not sure if anyone else in the photo is notable though..

Very interesting investigative work...I'd be surprised if there's a group of collectors looking for fathers of HOF golfers on vintage baseball memorabilia. If such a group exists, you've probably hit the jackpot!!!

lol. It was only $11. Just a fun piece, maybe a bit of an impulse buy. And it appears to be an integrated team. Definitely no HOFers here, but I'm interested in trying to figure out who the 2 black guys are.. I guess there's 2 others that could be black as well, but it's hard to tell, because they did work in a coal mine. I'm leaning toward those 2 just being dirty white guys...

Also stumbled upon an article about a new Negro League Muesum that is being built in Birmingham. It will not only focus on the Negro Leagues themselves, but also the Industrial Leagues..

I acquired the book. While gently flipping through the pages, I ran across the ad in the back. Does anybody have the Anson pocket scoreboard ? I think it'd be a neat collectable.
