Not baseball but basketball. A letter to John Cullen Murphy a very good friend of mine ( wrote the prince valliant comic strip did covers for sport, sports illustrated , colliers etc) a request for information from the Harlem Globe trotters on a story he was doing on Abe Saperstein. talking about what he looked like and what the uniforms were to look like in 1948. John had some great items when I sold off his stuff for him. John died in 2004. And by the way lived not far from Lou Gehrig back in the day!

Thanks, fellas. Rob I'm fairly certain the wallet was made for baseball cards. It has the position numbers printed at the bottom of each sleeve.

I have lots of odd stuff but will focus on the odd ball 1971 Pirates items in my collection. All of these items are fairly hard to find. Roberto and Stargell coin banks, Roberto Memorial pennant, 1971 NL Championship banner hung during the series, Bob Moose's team issued tie, blazer, watch and his Iron City Beer tie.

That's a lot of great stuff Mike -- I really like the two busts, but I vote for the Bob Moose jacket and the Iron City tie as the most oddball!

This is certinly odd ball. A tag designed to attach with a string to a buttonhole on your shirt or jacket.
This was to welcome back Mass. Native Chick Davies who had made good and been signed by Connie Mack. And in 9/3/1914 returned with the Athletics to play the Redsox at Fenway park.

...and I'll bet it's some of your favorite stuff, huh?

You got all artistic with your photo of the coin banks!

Cool stuff, everyone. Especially like the megaphones. Any Giants ones out there (ooribay)?

Stay tuned....

I love the Orioles compact!

Here's an unusual piece I picked up a year or two ago...This riding school was right across from Fenway Park...and was used by the Harvard baseball team to change in for the first game played at Fenway...

Does this Ted Williams fishing line count?

I have a bunch of those plastic "Rah Fones," but this is my favorite. It's made out of fairly thin paper and survived. Interesting to note, it was made by Sealright Sanitary Service, a maker of the paper caps that used to go on glass milk bottles. I put an example in the "mouthpiece."

[bocca001]

Nice, Rob.

This is too good of a thread to go away so soon. Here are some of my oddball Koufax items - maybe not an xray, but I don't recall seeing another key ring from Sandy's Tropicana Motel. The watch as replica autos of Mantle, Maris and Mays as well as Sandy's.

[ooo-ribay]

Great stuff, Mike! I haven’t seen that type of “chain” on a key ring in years!
