Default Early San Francisco hand painted baseball ribbon

Ex-Dick Dobbins collection, and appeared in his classic 1994 book on Bay Area baseball history, Nuggets on the Diamond. If you are interested in Bay Area baseball history and haven't read this book, it is highly recommend. Aside from the in depth history, there is lots of eye-candy from Dick's extraordinary collection. Color plates included.

Default Bottle...

Great Silk !! In keeping with the S.F. theme, I thought I'd post a scarce bottle from Newman's College. It wasn't actually a college but rather what has been referred to as the first "sports bar." It hosted Cal/Stanford fans before the Big Games. This bottle is from about 1913. The even scarcer bottle says Oakland and I think it was from about 1908 before they had opened their S.F. location. There are football laces on the other side.

Here is the Orioles pitching chart (vs. Cleveland) kept by next game's SP, Scott McGregor on 04/19/77 which happened to be the game where Brooks Robinson hit a walk off Home Run (and the last of his career):

Here's an interesting piece I picked up maybe 20 years ago and haven't seen again since:




it is a tale of the tape boxing promo for venues to hand to patrons to publicize a showing of the fight.

And as long as we are talking beer:



Mid 1950s promo card for Cuban beer, this one signed by Valdes.



Joe Louis shilling for Canadian Ace beer. The company was long a front for organized crime and was trying to go legit when this was issued in the 1950s.

Not sure if these are oddball enough for you, but these are my IHL Saginaw Gears Hockey Club puck bag and cup. I love all my Gears stuff and these two are sweet in my book.

Great Nellie Fox Bowl items, Jay. I especially like the ashtray.

Reminded me that I have this lighter from The Mick's bowling alley:

Default More Odds and Ends

Couple more odd items to add to the group, keep them coming. Item 1, HUGE Keds canvas sneaker 2 feet long and about a foot high. The 2`nd piece comes in handy to measure, a well used wooden ruler from none other than the St Mary`s Industrial School boys print shop. Maybe the great babe Ruth used it, it`s fun to imagine !

Ushers at Saints games would attempt to retrieve foul balls that were hit into the stands. This is a coupon a fan would receive in return for surrendering a ball.

Point of sale piece? American Pickers found something like that in tan canvas.

Who ya gonna call? Police? Fire? SF Giants (for the man)? I. Magnin (for the lady)? All the essential numbers you'd need in 1960's San Francisco.
