There is this famous (at least around here) photograph taken in 1959 and featured in Life Magazine in Oct.

One other Holy Grail of mine is one of these Chinese Bandit masks worn for the photo. I have heard Billy Cannon has two in his collection, even though he was not a Chinese Bandit.

I do have a copy of the magazine

Congrats on a great acquisition! Same Tiger Mascot image as seen on many of the 1940s/50s Detroit Tiger Pennants. Of course, none of those have a little Chinese Bandit.

Awesome pennant and great story... thanks for sharing.

THEANTIQUETIGER,

Just curious, do you have the Hartland LSU Tiger Football figure from 1958-59?

Joe

The LSU Hartland was made in 62 and was in honor of Billy Cannon winning the Heisman in 59.

I do not have one, and funny you should ask, I had never seen one until someone just joined my forum and has two of the running backs (they also made a linebacker).

I started a thread in B/S/T here yesterday, asking if anyone has on for sale.

Nice to see they were equal opportunity racists in Baton Rouge in the 1950s.

Chinese is not a race, Malcolm X!!!

It is a nationality!!!!

Plus, you are posting on a site that celebrates baseball when there was racial boundaries only 12 years before this picture was taken.
