Gust-O Baseball Game
Gusto-O Baseball Game - E.W. Forney & Co., Joplin, MO
I haven't posted much of anything here but this one is unusual. I couldn't find the game in Mark Cooper's tome and did get some insight at the BB Game forum. But we're not sure when it was produced - perhaps the 30s? It's a simple game - where ya set the wheel to the far right until it hits the "stop" - snap your wrist counter-clockwise which shifts the 'counter-balanced' wheel in the same direction - then just look at the arrow for the "outcome."  Unfortunately the box was repaired in the worst way with adhesive tape - but at least it's present in some form - a major plus!  And just as important to a game collector - having the original instructions - and in this case it's also the "playing field" - tho nothing to artistically appreciate.  If anyone has seen this game before or has any information please let me know. It's the first one I've noticed - the gents in the 'front office' at the Game Forum saw one about a year ago sans the box and instructions - so - as I said - I feel privileged to have both. Thanx for viewing and thanx for all the posts - I saw some really incredible stuff - as usual.

Great pickup Mike, I lamented bidding on it since I had gone over my spending budget this month. Now I wish I had bought it, I searched High and Low on the internet for this and I believe you may have a very rare game. congratulations and by the way you can see most of my collection on the forum in the mancave room.

It's incredible! Board games are one of my newer areas of collecting and B,K,W are really good guys and what they've 'forgotten' - I have to learn. At this point in my 30 years of collecting - I would say board games rank #1 next to my search for all the variations to Take Me Out to the Ball Game. Cards a distant 2nd/3rd place. I like the way you've displayed your games - I'm planning to do something like that but don't have the dough right now. Will post pics when I get the job done tho. Thanx again.

I normally tend to limit my purchases of photos to those that depict members of the Hall of Fame. I came across this image and was intrigued as it seems difficult to find Type 1 photos of Negro League players. I researched this player (Henry Kimbro) and after reading the description of him at http://www.negroleaguebaseball.com which is pasted below I had to buy it.
He was a little unruly. He didn't always get along with umpires. Some would even have described him as Negro baseball's "bad boy". But, whatever else can be said about "Jumbo" Kimbro, he was one hell of a ballplayer! With a Kirby Puckett type build, the stocky, powerful Kimbro was a threat on the base path, a superlative fielder, and consistently among the leaders in most all hitting categories during the '40s. Beginning his career in 1937 with the Washington Elite Giants, Kimbro remained with Tom Wilson's aggregation for virtually of his career, compiling a lifetime .315 batting average and representing the Baltimore Elite Giants five times in the East-West All-Star Game. Teaming with Bill Wright and Roy Campanella, Kimbro rounded out one of the most potent offenses in Negro ball. Twice in his career Kimbro exceeded the .350 hitting mark (1946 and 1947), and in 1947 won the league batting title while turning in a .346 performance for the Havana club while competing against major league stars in the Cuban Winter League. Kimbro, described by Ted Radcliffe as "the wildest man I ever saw in baseball and, absolutely, the hardest to manage, himself managed the Baltimore Elite Giants briefly during the 1950s before retiring in his hometown of Nashville. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s Kimbro owned and operated a service station and taxicab service in West Nashville and made several appearances at Negro League reunions around the country.

This one arrived today. Although it certainly cannot compete with the beautiful Ruth or Speaker images posted above, I have always liked this picture. I am thrilled to finally own an original Type 1 vrsion of this of Cool Pappa Bell photo. The slug on the back relates to his Hall of Fame induction in 1974.

4.16.12 Game Used 2nd Base...
Yankee Stadium April 16, 2012 Game Used 2nd Base.
Game between the Yankees and the Twins. Derek Jeter career hits 3104 and 3105. Including 1st inning back to back home runs by Jeter and Granderson. Not vintage, but still pretty sweet....

I just picked-up this 1964 Red Beatles Cap, and a never before seen Beatles retail advertising display for the Beatles endorsed caps made by the Kangol Company (which is still in business today). The Caps are quite scarce, but the 30 x 20 poster and 14 x 9 easel backed counter sign are the first known to the hobby. The caps were made and sold only in the U.K. beatleshatgroup-4.jpgbeatleshatgroup-2.jpg beatleshatgroup-6.jpgbeatleshatgroup-7.jpg Last edited by thekingofclout; 05-12-2012 at 05:26 AM.

My Graig Kreindler Vandy finally arrived!!
I'm stoked!! My Graig Kreindler painting of Johnny Vander Meer in 1938 arrived yesterday. It looks awesome!! I felt like a kid at Christmas when I opened the crate.
Here is a look at it, for those that haven't seen it, along with the original photo that it was based on, that was taken by William C. Greene (NYC) in 1938. Enjoy! Last edited by Scott Garner; 05-12-2012 at 07:20 AM.
