Love the Victor sign. That blue is really pretty next to the equipment. Great pickup.

That looks great! Nice job polishing it. If your intent is to sell, you just made it a lot more marketable. Beautiful piece!
Regarding the Perez Bat... No discernable number on knob. There is a hint of old marker, but too faint to even claim its a "24". The bat does measure the correct 35.5" in length. This bat was not well cared for, and probably spent the majority of its life outside/unprotected. It was very dry and weathered when received. I decided to apply a coat of lemon oil to liven it up. From what I've read, this is an acceptable practice, and it really helped bring the wood back to life. Yes, the bat was worn. But I am nearly positive it's the hickory type. Perez placed an order for one batch of these Hickories in July of 1976. When you see it in person, it's easy to tell the difference between this wood and the far more typical ash model with flame burned finish. There are other nice indications of game use. Lots of grain swelling from repeated ball contact. It is on the down- side of the barrel, as is correct for Perez gamers. He batted with the H&B trademark pointing away. Some nice ball marks and rack streaks as well. Not sure how it would grade without a discernable number on knob... But for a couple hundred bucks, am quite happy with the purchase. A high grade bicentennial model would easily exceed 4 figures, so (given my current financial state) this was a perfect solution. Sorry to bore you all to death, but you inquired!

It's silver? I would think you should clean it up. I wouldn't normally say that but silver tarnish is generally considered ok to polish. Only polish by hand which increases the patina. Elbow grease.

Thanks for your responses.It's actually Silverplate and I think it'll clean up nicely.I'm kind of torn about cleaning,some people like the tarnish and patina as it is.
Also,would anyone know who had a Duke Snider day in 1965?I think it might be from the Spokane Indians when he was managing there.That's just a guess though.

Posting a few knick-knacks I've picked up recently...
1. Tony Perez Bicentennial G/U Bat, with a huge assist to Jeremy W of our Forum. Jeremy spotted what must have been the worst ebay listing of all-time (with no mention of Perez, the Cincinnati Reds, or anything else pertinent). Just a generic bat listing. It still garnered some decent bidding, but went for lots less than a proper listing would have commanded. Neat/rare Bat, as it is a dark Hickory Model (Perez ordered only one batch of these Hickory Bats from H&B - in July of '76) 2. Nifty Late 1950s Wilson Counter Display with Mint Go Go Sox Baseball 3. Assorted Early Baseball Jewelry. These Watch Fobs feature some amazing artwork and intricate detail.... and are sterling silver. They are one of the more under-rated (and thus under-priced) segments of the hobby, IMHO

I was the under bidder on the perez. It may been been poorly listed but I'm pretty sure all the big bat guys saw it on eBay. You sure it's hickory and not colored like that from water or fire? Because I'd think there wouldn't be light colored spots. Last edited by yanks12025; 02-06-2014 at 03:23 PM.
