August pickups

[JLange]

Happy to add this oddball Bob Feller / Bill Veeck / Cleveland Indians item to my collection. This is a 1947 Clark's Restaurant Luncheon Menu from one of their fine eaterys in the Cleveland or Akron areas.


Measures about 6-3/8" x 9-1/2" and is in overall FR-PR condition with three heavy creases and clear signs of having been once glued to a scrapbook, but its already a favorite pickup with me!

So cool! Love the menu & all the prices.
The color and Feller pics are great!

Great piece. I've always loved baseball-related restaurant and bar stuff, especially from those owned by ballplayers themselves.

Picked up my first ever deadball type 1 team photo of the 1914 Cardinals in San Antonio.

Love the background in that San Antonio photo Sean.
Here are a few of my pickups from this weekend --

[bobfreedman]

Price was too good to pass up on the photo and the Composite Display went well with my collection

[Joe Hunter]

Picked up 5 early 20th Century baseball bats earlier this month including 4 Spaldings and one Victor mushroom which is my favorite. Came from a long time Spalding memorabilia collector.

Great stuff everyone...

Bob, that A's Composite is killing me, it's so cool. Nice pickup!

The memorabilia in REA seemed to generate very solid prices, and was extremely competitive, IMO. Especially with regard to the vintage/antique Bats... Most of which went into the stratosphere. Glad I started collecting them when I did!

My lone REA win was the Villeroy & Boch Platter. Just curious.... Was I bidding against anyone here?

[Bugsy]

A St. Paul Saints American Association Champions ring that was presented to the team trainer.

On vacation in Ocean City, NJ and stopped in an antique store and picked up these Philly Phanatic figurines that were given out weekly at Acme Supermarkets in 1987

Thanks Mike!

[sicollector1954]

I agree that the REA bats prices were really strong....had particular interest in lot #122 which was the Hillerich and Son 1897-99 King of the Field bat....wow...over $3800.00 for the full size model....If anyone here won this bat and someday would like the salesman's sample (baby)--feel free to contact me. Thanks.

Two more St. Paul Saints rings. There isn't any engraving inside these, so unfortunately, it's impossible to tell who owned them.

I'm pretty excited to have just added this 8" x 10" original photo of Dr. John Lee Richmond who tossed baseball's 1st professional Perfect Game for the Worcester Worcesters in 1879. Richmond is seated at the bottom right corner of the photo. This photo was taken on June 14th, 1910 at the 30 year class reunion of the Brown University (Providence, RI) Class of 1880.

While attending Brown, Richmond was the school's Class President and played both baseball and football.

Richmond is also credited with possibly being the 1st professional left handed pitcher.
Lee Richmond was not big in stature (146 lbs.) and as a pitcher relied on deception as his weapon of choice, mastering a variety of different curve balls delivered from the left side.

After leaving Brown University, Lee Richmond became a physician for a few years before moving to Toledo, OH where he taught Greek, Advanced Mathematics, Physics & Chemistry at Scott High School.
Another interesting fact is that at one point, Dr Lee Richmond taught the son of HOF'er Addie Joss who also is credited with hurling the 4th Perfect Game in ML history.

Picked up this nice GE advertising poster which happens to be my birthday and a very nice umpires mask.

[sayhey24]

Love that poster Ron, especially the GE connection!

Picked up two baseballs at an estate sale -- one is a 1963 Red Sox autographed team ball with a couple of condition issues (ball cubes added later).

I had that GE poster on a huge 1936 GE company calendar, love the image and artwork. Anything on the back of this that would provide a clue as to its purpose or source?

Have been looking for a cool, vintage decal bat for a while - one that I could afford. This one has almost none of the original decal left on it unfortunately.

Would this be from the 1916-29 period? Thx!

[sicollector1954]

Bat was made after 1920 as it has "Made in USA" stamped on the center brand.
