Picked up this Walter Johnson game top and tokens at a local auction today. Nobody bid against me so I'm fairly certain I'm the only one there that knew what it was and that there were tokens inside the top.

Default Another holy grail item off the list!

Ever since I first saw one of these circa 1939 Johnny Vander Meer Goldsmith glove boxes in Carlton's epic pictorial of The National a few years ago, I've wanted one for my personal collection. The graphics and color really pop...

I finally pulled the trigger in today's Hunt Louisville Slugger Auction.
The box also comes with a very nice AG65 Vander Meer endorsed glove (correct right handed mitt for a lefty hurler) and custom acrylic case for display.

This will look great with my Vander Meer endorsed balls and 1939 Goldsmith catalogue featuring Vandy.
I'm a happy camper today. Another neat item off my holy grail list!

Congrats Scott!! That box was destined for your collection. Can't imagine a better place for it to end up.

Scott, fantastic pick up, congrats!

I picked up two small things and missed out on the Pittsburgh Pirates bat fan.

Thanks Mike, Joe & Bob!

Bob. I saw the 5th night game light bulb ticket in the auction. I'm glad you won it!
I really love the look of these die cut tickets from this era.
Here's my ticket from night game #1; Vandy's famous 2nd consecutive no-hitter.

Great pin, Mike!

Ken - I had completely forgotten that Miggy played for, and won a WS with, the Marlins. Does anyone know why "Wilson" is on a SAM Bat?

Dan - love the game. How is it played?

and Scott - yet another great pickup for the #1 Vander Meer collector.

Dan,
Love the WaJo top game & tokens. Not having a second bidder is extra cool!
Congrats. When was this game produced? Just curious...

1930. RMY had a neat photo of Walter showing his new game off.
