Hi-
Thanks guys! I love the lamp as well although I have no idea if it was homemade (I think so) or when it was made. The Merit Badge pamphlet is from 1973, and it does not mention who the player is. Below are two more oddball items to keep this thread alive a little longer. The first is a Red Sox doll (circa 1960s?) and the second is a spring training hat of similar vintage. Please post more if you have it. The items posted thus far are incredible! Yours in collecting, Alan Elefson aelefson@hotmail.com

red sox lamp
Hello Alan, Nice lamp. I believe (I could be wrong) that it is a circa 1950s Stanford Pottery lamp. If you search baseball lamp, some others have been shown on the memoribilia board.

George "Rube" Foster scored no-hitter program and ticket- the 1st at Fenway Park!
I thought that all of you Red Sox fans may enjoy this post. Here are photos of a (partially) scored program and ticket from the very first no-hitter ever thrown at the original historic Fenway Park. On June 21, 1916 the Red Sox' own George "Rube" Foster no-hit their arch-rival the NY Yankees 2-0 in front of crowd of 4,528 faithful fans. The ticket and scored program resided in a fan's scrapbook for over 80 years before in was liberated and made it into my waiting hands last year. Just for grins, I'm also including a picture postcard of Foster to show you what he looked like in his heyday. Enjoy!

Keith is correct. Stanford Pottery did these lamps for at least 6-7 teams, that I have seen. Athletics, Pirates, Phillies, Reds, Indians and Braves are among those that I've seen.
Nice Piece... are you going to seek out a vintage shade for it? You will find tons of options on Ebay. If so, please post... would love to see the end result. Last edited by perezfan; 03-06-2010 at 06:43 PM.

Thanks Mark and Keith! I had no idea it was a Stanford Pottery lamp! I paid less than 5.00 for it at an antique shop in New Bedford MA a few months ago. I figured it was homemade. I am not sure what I will do with it now. Are the shades for these lamps specific to the teams (do they even show baseball graphics at all?)?
Thanks again for the help, Alan

I've seen lots of different shades with these. A replacement shade is not a big deal (oe even a detractor). I would go with a plain beige or off-white shade, and let the base speak for itself.
I am not sure whether these lamps originally came with a team graphic or logo on the shade, but I doubt it. Perhaps someone else here might know?

My Boston Red Sox Addition
Hey Guys.
I am proud to add my just authenticated 1975 Carlton Fisk home white post season game used jersey to the mix. It appears that this is quite possibly the same jersey that Carlton Fisk was wearing when he hit the famous homerun in game #6 of the 1975 World Series. You can read all about it at the following link: http://www.mearsonline.com/news/newsDetail.asp?id=733 Last edited by LOUCARDFAN; 03-23-2010 at 08:32 AM.
