A few of my odds and ends:


mid 30's ball & strke counter,and a 1937 pirates visor.



late 1920's pack of Baby Ruth gum.



a green weenie from the late 60's that you waved at opponents of the Pirates so they would do poorly!And the bottom one is an original mold for making them.

Here are a couple worthy of showing...

A mint condition, never-used Lucky Strike straight razor, and a Baseball Anonymous Tie Bar.

I got the Baseball Anonymous piece because it looked really nifty and depicts two rather secretive hands shaking. Almost like a tribute to those of us who admit to being addicted collectors... sort of like gamblers anonymous or alcoholics anonymous.

Does anyone know what "Baseball Anonymous" might really pertain to? The reverse is inscribed to Jersey Schalk (a nickname or possible relative of Ray Schalk?) Please provide any insight you may have, and thanks!

From the DiMaggio estate comes a nifty piece of Yankees luggage that was a gift to Joe DiMaggio from the team for the 1977 Old Timers Game. I don't have a scan of the inside but the lining is pinstriped. It looks really cool. Also comes with the original shipping box with the Clipper's San Francisco address and the Yankee logo on the label.

Hey Perezfan,

I found this online biography pertaining to Red Faber with the following quote.
Perhaps your Tie Bar is related??


"In retirement, Faber was among the founders of Baseball Anonymous, an organization created to help former ballplayers (and athletes from other sports) who were down on their luck. Growing to nearly 700 members (at $2 per year) in its first year, Baseball Anonymous performed many good deeds; most were handled quietly, but in 1958, when Faber was the group's general chairman, Baseball Anonymous arranged a Comiskey Park ceremony to honor former White Sox pitching great Ed Walsh, who was 77 years old and struggling physically and financially. The group also staged benefits for other former players who had fallen upon hard times. Faber was a regular at Hot Stove League banquets and old-timers games in Chicago and Milwaukee."
