My mother's side of the family has operated a Funeral Home since 1913 here in rural Middle Tennessee. My cousin, who is being groomed to continue the family business began collecting funeral ephemera a couple years back (I collect baseball cards, haven't got room to pick at him) and he found another funeral collector in Georgia who had a Baseball jersey of a team our family sponsored in the 30's which he found a swap meet in South Carolina. So yes, you never know where one might pop up.

The chairman of the Pittsburgh area chapter of SABR has offered to forward the story to their membership. We'll see.

John - That's cool. Best of Luck in your search. I imagine one of those jersey's has survived as well as a cap.

Just having the pic from the paper is pretty darn cool.

Season's Greetings & Bump...
I've checked with several libraries and museums, but nothing.
I'm hoping someone on the board can help.

Bump...I hope this is not too soon since the last bump.

Once every seven months seems a bit excessive . You got my hopes up that'd you'd found one. Might sound silly, but I'd add your name to the title to increase the chances of someone doing research on a jersey finding your post.

That's a great suggestion. Thanks.
DONE!
