1939 Cooperstown Centennial Souvenir Cap

[sayhey24]

Those mini souvenir bats were made by Spalding for the 1939 Centennial celebration in Cooperstown.
Here's an original letter from Spalding to the HOF, included with it was the original drawing of the logo submitted for the Hall's approval (note the logo mistakenly says 1639-1939, instead of 1839-1939).

this post made my day my grandparents collected stamps and in 1970? bought there first and only home in salem NH . with there stamp collection. I would get a old/new stamp from a plate block and filled my scott stamp catalog . I remember asking my grand farther were should I put the stamps that had righting on them. they were the stamps from this game and probably got me started collecting mini bats when I found a bat that matched the stamps I had.
the second photo in the first post is only the second bat that I have seen from this game. I no the players signed plate blocks of the stamps and explains why they can be found.
but were are the bats ?.
