I like the “flea market” look!

If this isn't the greatest thread of all time it's up there.

That's just astounding. Do you know when the turnstile and ticket box were in use?

Mark the turnstile is definitely from 1909. I’m not sure if the ticket box, it could be 1909 or later.

Love the turnstile and the jerseys. Looks like a stadium museum display.

After selling our last house, then moving into an apartment a couple years ago for about 18 months while building our new house, we finally settled into the new place last year. My wife insisted that I have my own 'sports room' and I decided not to argue with her. I strived to keep it somewhat simple and I wanted some old front load display/china cabinets for the added antique feel when displaying my stuff. I still have a few empty spots on the walls, but it's pretty close to being finished......for now.

Always utterly shocked when I see hockey items on this forum, especially antique examples.
I'd love to know more about the mounted stick on the wall.... are there any maker's marks or stamps?

Nothing stamped on the bat. I found it out in Hershey at their Antique Automobile swap meet a few years ago. Might be some sort of old store display or folk art piece?

Yes, it's an early Spalding stick. Quite rare from my research. Also, I posted the old 1905 hockey team photo hanging on the wall below the stick. Love the socks!

Love the two AAGPBL Pennants! So rare, and the condition of both looks phenomenal. And those vintage wood display cabinets are killers. Such a classy and dignified look to those displays! If you could give us a closer look at what's inside, that would be phenomenal.

Great stuff!

Mark...........Here's a few more pics as you requested. Not everything is sports as there's a small and very rare porcelain 1912 Michigan motorcycle license plate and a Woodstock ticket flanking an OAL baseball in it's original box.

In another case are a few more full size Michigan porcelain plate sets. My Dad is into automotive advertising and brass cars, so I kind of reach into those genres sometimes, too.

Also, I've posted it before, but I love my Chicago Whales team photo with that field at the corner of Clark and Addison.

First class room, Matt! Congrats
I especially like the way you have chosen to display everything

[matty39]

Matt, that is a fantastic picture of the Chicago feds. What is the history of it and how long have you had it? It is a great piece. Congrats.

Fantastic room! After moving from Vegas to SLC in 2010. I spent about 8 hours a day, for a week, putting my new "room" together.

Matt, whose race suit is that?

The c.1970 white suit belonged to Gordon Johncock and I bought it at the late Scott Brayton's estate auction. The red suit is Michael Andretti's F1 suit from 1993. Thanks for asking!
