February 2020 Pick ups

[JLange]

Picked up a neat counter display for group outings at Cleveland's old Municipal Stadium. The display measures approximately 13" x 21.5" and dates to approximately 1975-76. Next step: figure out how best to frame or store it!

Think it would look awesome framed. Such a cool looking piece.

Picked this piece up from a fellow board member couple months back. Nice newspaper from 1905 depicting an 18 year old Ty Cobb. Top photo, bottom row 2`nd from left shows Cobb fresh off the first 41 games of a 24 year career. Bonus shot, same photo top row left, rookie year Eddie Cicotte later of the infamous 1919 Black Sox. Keep the items coming guys always enjoy seeing them.

I had the Coffematic on the left. Presented to Ira Blue, a counter culture radio DJ, when the Giants arrived in SF in 1958. I just picked up another, presented in 1954 to Hugh Bradley, a sportswriter for the NY Times.

Rob,

Love stuff like this. Both are super cool and I like that the tops are a tad different. Makes for a great display piece in my view.

How do you find this stuff? I would have never even thought to look for something like that.
Very cool though.

The handles are different, too. The older one is noticeably heavier.

Even a blind squirrel sometimes finds a nut!

Both came off ebay. My buddy also has the 1958; his given to another local quasi-celebrity. I saw the 1954 with 7 hours to go. The seller had listed it under pennants and flags , where I was searching new york giants, minus NFL, football, etc.
