August pick ups

[Bumpus Jones]

Very cool stuff Mark. I picked up this circa 1938 Johnny Vander Meer pin with ribbon.

Just yesterday, I learned who the original Bumpus Jones was.

I love the pin!

Very nice pin. Was that released at the time of his no hitters?

Thanks, fellas. Yes, Mark I believe it was shortly after he pitched his no-hitters and perhaps carried over into the following season...

Great posts so far -- love those records and the Vandy pin!

I was channeling my inner Carlton when I picked up this piece at a flea market in Central NY this week. It's bronze, huge and very heavy.
Not baseball obviously, but I just love the look. I didn't buy it when I first saw it, but when I went back, it was still there, so it came home with me.

Very cool. My wife grew up in Boonton. Wonder if they still have that competition.

More great items as usual guys, cool Babe records and Vandy pin. Found this ball cruising through a Maine flee market last week. Noticed the red/black stitches and grabbed it for short money.

It’s got Carlton written all over it!

Thanks Rob -- I love Carlton's stuff!

Mark I think they retired the trophy after it was won by one school three times.
Clyde Potts by the way, was the longtime mayor of Morristown, NJ in the 20s and 30s -- there is apparently a lot of stuff in that area named for him.

Here are some more pickups from my two different flea markets this weekend.
Among the highlights -- a Ted's Root Beer crate, a 1939 Doubleday Field souvenir bat, huge photo of heavyweight champ Tommy Burns, some Bob Coyne artwork, a complete set of U.S Army cards and more --
