Tennis Player Statue
 12" tall Picked up this c1930 statue of a tennis player yesterday...the plate on the front of base reads "Springfield Inter-Church Tennis League 1930 Won By Federated"....having the date engraved on a trophy is always a nice feature...That blueish green patina is classic 30's

c1885 Roller Skates Pamplet
c1880's - 11 1/2" wide x 9" tall unopened
Picked this up on eBay today....for a whopping $25.00....Was asking $34.99 BIN, made offer of $25.00...seller took it....It's a two page pamplet...best roller skate illustration I've ever seen...I'll photocopy the two inside pages and frame them flanked each side of the front excerpt from seller's discription 9" by 23" (when fully opened) advertising brochure for the MADISON SQUARE roller skate manufactured by Merwin, Hulbert & Co of NYC. Although there is not an exact date of the printing of this piece, I date it to 1886-87 based on the skate's patent date of 1883 and the testimonials from satisfied customers all dated 1885. Familiar to firearms collectors, Merwin Hulbert produced other items and saw an opportunity with the 1880's craze for roller skating.     Inside Page 1  Inside Page 2

bat pickups
Here's a couple of recent bat additions to the collection. First is a spline bat made of 4 separate strips. Its design leads me to believe that it is some type of display or presentation bat. It's 35 inches long and about 45 ounces. The other is a Fred Clarke model Wright-Ditson-Victor model from the teens.

Not so vintage, but pretty cool anyway...
I grew up a Don Mattingly fan and have always tried to pick up things related to his career as a player, and now, as a manager. I think I did pretty well grabbing this for $40 off the Bay...his signature is $80 or more at shows...this one is MLB authenticated, too.
