November pickups

Andrew:

The Wagner photo, based on the uniform, would be 1913 or possibly 1914.

Thanks Phil. That is what I had narrowed it down to also. I had info based on a description of the uniform but no team photos that I could match it to.

1916 Boxing Plaque 20 ½” x 15”
Couple weeks ago I drove down to L.A. to pick up the 1916 NYC amateur boxing plaque below. The plaque was made by the renown Dieges and Clust company….Instead of risking damage in shipment I figured I’d pick up in person and hit the Rose Bowl flea same day….got to RB right at 6:00AM but never could get traction…pretty much the weakest Rose Bowl I’d ever been to….The winning club of the plaque “Union Settlement” was founded in 1895











Union Settlement was founded in 1895 by members of the Union Theological Seminary Alumni Club. After visiting Toynbee Hall in London, and inspired by the example of Hull House in Chicago, the alumni decided to create a settlement house in the area of Manhattan enclosed on the north and south by East 96th and 110th Streets and on the east and west by the East River and Central Park.



Last Saturday I drove into San Francisco and picked up the c1920 7” tall motorcycle statue I posted a couple weeks ago…I’m very pleased…looks better in person than photographs…below installed on my coffee table…managed to squeeze it in.

Hey Carlton. Where do you put your coffee? Congrats on yet another stellar pick-up. I've lived just a few minutes from the Rose Bowl for over five years now and still haven't been able to make it to the flea market. Guess that has something to do with my going to sleep when the market opens up.

That coffee-table pic is classic!

I had a glass-topped coffee table that I build a wooden ledge for that fit underneath. Crammed all of my 'shorter' pieces of memorabilia into it. Then the dog managed to get a minor league baseball out of it and chewed the cover half-off. Yes, I admit to owning game-used memorabilia, but I made my Mother sign an LOA swearing that her father really did give her the baseball.

Seeing all that stuff on the table makes me wonder - don't you ever spill a beer or coffee? What a clean-up nightmare.

I had to own this. Do you think they posed this way on purpose? (it's actually 'Cassville')

Kind of interesting that the team seems to be integrated during this era (the teens).

I'm especially happy with the Babe Didrikson. I used to own her pool cue and a bunch of other estate items, and I could not find a photo anywhere of her shooting pool. I've found a couple since, but I love this one.



Ruth and wife - 1939



Stengel - 1935



Dizzy Dean - 1937



Durocher, Dascoli and Goetz, Tookie Gilbert (player) - 1950



Grange - Oct 26, 1928 Caption: "Harold Grange, football star, given time to investigate girl's charge."



Tunney - dated 1926. I have a larger version of this one that is one print newer and CGC-slabbed (whatever that means )



Didrikson - 1947



Hoppe, Hoppe - 1909, 1929



Gordon Chung-Hoon - 1929

Scott, Man that's a lot of great photos...I just read up on Babe Didrikson...what an athlete...she sounds more profund than Jim Thorpe!...I've never seen that one of Red Grange...and the Tunney photo is classic. But some I don't recognize...how about putting the names under the photos? Especially the pool players...been getting interested in billiards/pool lately...re the coffee table...no worries on a spill...in word only....not a not a stitch of room to sit down a drink so don't have to worry about that ever happening LOL
