FWIW, it's the first one that I've seen, but I've only been watching eBay for old Goldsmith catalogs for a little over a year.

Sorry Lance!
I'm one and out on Goldsmith catalogues though...

Fair enough, and not a huge deal. I'm mostly after old catalogs for the info/pictures of the balls anyway, but thought that one was really interesting. Had I known you were bidding on it as well, I'm not sure if I would have backed off or run you up higher

This one came in today. I have been taking a break from news photos lately but had to have this one. I hadn’t ever seen this 1922 image of Babe Ruth and his daughter prior to picking this one up on eBay. I have three beautiful daughters of my own and perhaps that is what drew me to this picture. Nonetheless I thought it was a very pretty picture and the $40 BIN price tag made it irresistible for me.

I have a buddy who has this GREAT seat and wants to sell it, if he hasn't already. Needs a tiny bit of weld, but great seat, and look whose number is on it..

From the House that RUTH built

I actually picked this up a few months back but just received the "official" word today from Hunt Auctions. Hunt handles all appraisals for the Louisville Slugger Museum and I was referred to them by museum staff.

Period stamping gave me a date range from 1897-1911 however, when comparing it to my 1911-16 model bat, I felt pretty confident that it was one of the first bats produced by Hillerich and was steering more towards 1897. After analyzing, they too agreed and further provided the Zebra Stripe info as I was not familiar with it myself.

Pretty cool piece of history

A beauty Jeff!
