May Pickup Thread

[Woundedduck]

My latest and greatest pick up of my new vintage collection:

[AndyG09]

1943 M.P & CO. (R302-1)

One of the few baseball card sets issued during world war II, the set is unnumbered, and the cards measured approximately 2-5/8" X 2-1/4" and were produced in two major types and at least five subtypes.
They were originally produced in strips and sold inexpensively in candy stores.
M.P & Co. stands for Michael Pressner and Co., a new york city novelty and carnival supply firm.

Best,

Andy

Thanks guys, night number one is in the books! I think this will be my last "pickup" in this department. I'll be too old to go through this again! I appreciate all the well wishers.

From the b/s/t. To my kids, "a pix of an old dead guy". Knowing the CdV and auto came from his personal collection excites my inner nerd. The man that touched these played in the "first" base ball game, my link to the past.
