Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

Day 50 – 20 February 2024
Today, I am sharing another plate from the Orioles. This one is from Camden Yards. This plate is 10 inches. On the reverse, it is marked with Duraline, Dudson, Super Vitrified, 4034, Made in England. I believe this plate was used at the Camden Club at OPACY. Surprisingly, these are not easily found but when they are, they are reasonably priced.

Day 51 – 21 February 2024
This plate commemorates the 1966 World Series. The plate measures 10 inches and had a gold ring around it. It shows the iconic game ending celebration when the Orioles won their first World Series. Brooks, Etch and McNally are featured. On the reverse side, the plate is marked with Conrad Chafters, Wheeling, W. Va. This plate makes an amazing display. I always wondered if there were other pieces and the details on how a person would get this plate.

Day 52 – 22 February 2024
I am not much on tobacco products or smoking but back in the day, the Orioles had a few “ash trays” out there for their fans. The top middle one I believe is from 1954 and comes in multiple colors. It measures 4 inches. This one is the green version. It is glass with a beanbag type bottom. The two on either side are glass and measure 3 inches. The one on the left I believe is from the 1970s and the one on the right I imagine is from the 1950s. Below them are metal ones measuring 5.5 inches. They both have Baltimore Orioles at the top / bottom and in the middle of the tray, the one on the left says “Stick with the Birds.” The one on the right says “Bird Boosters.” Again, I do not like cigarettes but these are pretty cool.

Day 53 – 23 February 2024
Today, I am showing you a few random items. They all appear to be similar in vintage. The mug says “Stick with The Birds” and is 5 inches tall. The plate beside it says the same thing and appears to be a candy dish measuring 5.5 inches by 6 inches. It appears to be glass. The napkin is similar but not sure what year or where you would find it. I really enjoy all three proudly displaying the Hartzell Bird.

I haven’t seen that napkin before; very cool. Looks like those items are in great shape.

Please keep me in mind if you see any more of Camden Yard plates. I’d like to pick one up.

Love the ‘66 WS leaping plate. I also wondered if there was anything else put out that was related to this piece.

Those last three items are pretty neat, haven’t seen any of them before.

Thanks, Mark and Clint. I love how they fit together. That Bird….

I will keep an eye out on the Camden Club Plate
