Bought this group only for the Easter and Simpson, so if you're interested in any of the others, drop me a line.

Have been trying to pick up this hand fan for a while...



Added another Helmar...

A few new pinbacks for the cause

Picked up a couple of nice early football helmets lately.
The first is a pretty rare Princeton style helmet that came from the estate of a USC player in the late teens. He wrote/painted the score of the 1918 USC Stanford game on the front, and also wrote scores of other USC vs Cal games and USC vs Stanford games on the helmet as well. It is crazy how little protection the helmet would have provided, as its not very thick leather.



The second helmet is a circa 1910 Draper and Maynard Flat top style leather helmet. I have wanted one of these flat tops for a while, and even though I have started to sell of some of my collection, I decided to go for it.

PM sent...

Also...
I LOVE that Hand Fan, DocPat...

Where did you find it? I search for these Fans all the time, and missed this one. Appears to be in amazingly good shape, too... that's a keeper!

Hi Mark,

I picked it up off e-bay. The seller's listing title was rather generic and didn't list any of the players. That probably helped me a little concerning the final price. It does have some condition issues, but nothing too major. I've seen a few in the past, but they had the sticks completely broken off and the sellers were still trying to get over $500 for them.

Just wish I had picked this one up instead (IMO, the best fan I have seen)...

Mike:

That fan is really cool, never seen that one before. Although the other one is not common by any means, I have seen several of them over the years.

WOW! Attaboy, Jimmy...I've seen banners from that series featuring radio stars like Burns and Allen, but a Huskies with Gehrig? Geez... Congrats!

That ball in the "box" is really awesome.

[mr2686]

Thought this would look great on my 1955 Dodger wall. 36 sigs including 7 from the 55 team.

Mike - gorgeous fan!!!!

Happy to pick up this 1936 autographed photo of the famous NBC sports announcer CLEM McCARTHY, who was best known for his radio broadcasts of boxing matches and horse races. McCarthy's account of the famous 1938 Louis-Schmeling fight and his call of Whirlaway winning the 1941 Kentucky Derby were among the memorable highlights on the old-time radio records issued in the 1960s.

Picked up this Gabby Hartnett signed ball. Auto is in very bad shape but you can still make out parts. At the end of the auto it has 20-25, but it sure looks like a 6 before the 20 so maybe the date 6-20-25, looked up the box score from that date and he had a home-run.
