That's great! Not mundane at all.

I picked up a 1914-15 lantern slide depicting Carroll "Boardwalk" Brown in NYAL uni. There are a couple 1915 team photos of Brown extant but this is only image I have seen so far of Brown individually.

Excited to get this Jimmy O'Connell Spalding Autograph model bat. I collect O'Connell items (best known for the 1924 O'Connell-Dolan scandal) due to his connection with Santa Clara University. I never knew that this bat existed until it showed up on ebay last month. Bushing's Spalding bat guide lists an Autograph model bat for "John O'Connell" being sold in 1924 (only one year), but, given the year it is clear that the bat sold by Spalding was for Jim, not John.

What a cool, cool bat. I love old Giants bats, and this is a great find for you.

Been a while since I've posted a pick up. Got this at the local antique show a week or so back. circa 1925 I believe. Nothing on the internets at all about this promotion and Poll Parrott was a huge shoe brand back in those days.
