I've had this for about 30 years.

This is a very cool looking piece! On top of that you've got 3 of my guys in it: Joe Mary, Stan Hack & Pepper Martin (I'm the narrow focus Sacramento baseball guy!) What's the overall measurements and do you display it?

Bottle opener - Kansas City A's


"A Big Hit" hosiery



Ted Williams bottle


These little guys are carved out of wood ....I have no idea of time frame.


Dick Stuart's bracelet


Very large Piedmont advertising sign


Group of Lincoln Chiefs bat pencils


This item Dick Stuart made by cutting out the Lincoln Newspaper and pinning it to a Lincoln Hotel's stationary after he hit his 49th and 50th homers...he wrote "Fortune" on one ball and "Fame" on the other.

Thanks...it measures about 14" x 13". It's wandered around my collection room over the years, but spends most of the time pinned up as a backdrop for other sports memorabilia.

My odds and ends centers around the KC A's of the late 50's and early 60's.
These are in my possession only because I married a KC girl with 3 older Brothers and a Dad who were passionate for this team. I also have pencils, Programs etc. Some cool stuff including the article on the trades between the A's and the Yanks of the late 50's. The running joke was KC was a farm team for the Yankees in those days.

Bravo! One of the highlights of my life was seeing Mickey Mantle knock one over Charley Finley's 40-foot high chain llnk fence in right field onto Brooklyn Avenue. A mule in left field, sheep grazing on the hill in right, a secondhand scoreboard from Braves Field in Boston and a mechanical rabbit delivering new baseballs to the umpires...to a kid like me, it was Disneyland and I loved every minute of it.

Never seen that Butternut piece...some day we'll do a thread on the A's and it may only interest the two of us!

Below is an account book of A. F. Burtt, who worked for the Draper and Maynard Company in the 1890s. Burtt keeps track of the production of gloves, mitts, outseems, etc. including the cost and time starting with the year 1890. He also tracks his income from J. F. Draper. What is really cool about this is that A.F. Burtt invented a Catchers Mitt that was patented in 1895. Below, there is a photo of a page in the book that shows Burtt paying $20.00 for the patent on Nov. 9 1895! He also invented a Boxing Glove and Punching Bag... I am guessing there is about 100 pages where Burtt breaks down the individual operations and money for each step--cutting, stitching, welt, trimming, finishing, etc.
