Let's see your October pick-ups...

I saw the Baltimore Cabinet on the Phila, PA Auction website. What did it end up going for? I was thinking of attending the auction in person but the Baltimore Cabinet was the only item of real interest to me and I didn't really need it for my collection.

I just sent you an email regarding the Baltimore Cabinet. I go to that auction house alot, and usually when they have sports stuff, it is mostly modern junk, but they had some decent stuff this time. The only thing I had major interest in was the Baltimore photo, but did pickup a group of BF3 pennants, and another older baseball photo that I think is a seminary team.

Wonder what these coaches would think of todays sports?

It's getting tough to find vintage Reds Pennants I don't already have, so I was thrilled to come upon this one last week.

Never seen another in 20 years of collecting these... and a World Chamnpion Season for the Reds, no less!

Also picked up this LaJoie Scorer from Mears... nice condition for this little toughie. Having the original leather band in tact was another plus. I've been an under-bidder about half a dozen times until now...

My dad had a nice little find of early VMI sports items at an estate sale this past weekend. The group included 2 football sweaters, 1 with Thirty Seven embroidered into it, a trophy ball from a 1937 football game between VMI and South Carolina, 2 early Goldsmith soccer balls (1 looks nearly unused), an early Reach Glove, 3 early field hockey sticks, an early hockey stick, and the last item we are not really sure what it is, it is about a 6 foot long staff with arrow shaped top that has a pennant with felt lettering reading PILOT on it. Since VMI is a military school, my dad's guess was that this was used as a parade flag?
Anyone have any ideas about the age of the Reach glove? Also what would you call this type of glove?

thanks
Keith

Keith, you and your dad sure have a knack for finding great stuff.

That Reach mitt looks like a childs basemitt. I'm not positive, but the soccer balls actually look like they might be volleyballs. Someone with a Goldsmith sporting goods catalog might be able to pinpoint it. My guess is that the 4V model number refers to volleyball.
