July Pickups

A 1941 Babe Ruth Sam Goldwyn Baseball Movie Photo. From the famous Culver Archives, Babe Ruth meets Sam Goldwyn (of movie fame) when Babe signed the contract to appear in the Lou Gehrig movie “The Pride of the Yankees.” Dated Dec 2, 1941 on the back.

What really makes this one special for me is that this photo is the companion piece! For me...it's almost always the other way around.

So here is the key piece. Babe's paycheck stub for appearing in the classic film recounting Lou Gehrig's life... "The Pride of the Yankees"

Jimmy & David,

Man, LOTS of great stuff this month!!

I picked this up a couple of days ago, a nice Type 1 of Joe McCarthy from sometime around 1939 . It's not an important shot or anything, but I think it's one of my favorite images of the great manager. And of course, it would make a nice painting.

I picked up a very cool catcher figural trophy from one of our board members, which I am having a master silversmith replate. I also picked up a D&M watch fob as a companion piece. Thanks again to the board member. I'll update the picture with the restored trophy at a later time.
