January 2022 Pickups

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.

Great Sunday Magazine! I’m always on the lookout for football covers, and they don’t come along very often.

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.

Just picked up a banner that most likely hung outside the stadium for the 1960 World Series. Similar ones lined the inside of the stadium but they didn't have the black backing on them.
