Picked up the 2nd largest piece of my collection, Cleveland Municipal Stadium ticket window. Approx 9 ft. Tall and quite heavy.

Has a counter on both sides of the window, one for the fan and one for the employee.

Pretty cool.

Where and how do you plan on displaying that?

Believe it or not, my wife likes antiques so the plan is to display it on our great room corner if it fits properly.

Wow I hope it fits.

Pretty cool that your wife is into sports antiques.

MY wife supports my Card addiction because she does not have to see it.

The few things I have non cards are not displayed in any primary area.

I love that kind of stuff! I really, really want a Candlestick turnstile.

Great piece. I'm trying to get my wife to let me put my Sweet Caporal sign in the living room lol.

An antiques dealer friend told me about this photograph last month, but I didn't get to buy it from him until yesterday. I goes along perfectly with my pennant from the inaguration game in 1926. It's 28" wide with a very clear image.

Nice photograph. Amazing angle, detail, and clarity

[daves_resale_shop]

Super excited to have picked this one up.

Yaz 1978 game used jersey. She shows some use, a little fading, but overall a fantastic example from my birth year...who knows? It may have been the jersey that Carl was wearing when Bucky deposited that shot in the green monster netting!

Finally got the LS Bat Bank I bought a couple weeks ago. I didn't realize the large size of them. Wasn't sure where to display it at first but decided I liked this. Now I need to get one of the older ones with With Aaron, Mantle and the other big names from that era to put it between the NY and TB caps.

THanks all for Sharing

Just picked up my second Couroc tray. The ball is redder and the price was right (on etsy). These were made in 1958. The sticker on my first tray reads "Unique Couroc Products are cherished gifts because of their great variety and beauty in design. Hand inlaid by master craftsmen, shells, coins, woods and metals are fused into Couroc's famous satin black material which is impervious to alcohol, boiling water, and cigarette burns." Couroc made a zillion designs - mostly birds, flowers, etc.

Congratulations. It's outstanding!

Very cool Rob. First time I've seen any other team represented with the courac trays. Here's my Reds cheese tray.

And yours is the first I've seen OTHER than the Giants. Couroc was was Monterey/SF.

P.S. How often do you see the Reds version? The Giants is rare; the Reds has to be rarer.

[Bumpus Jones]

Not very often. Here's a few more versions that I believe may be related. Sorry for the low pic quality...

[perezfan]

Those are beautifully crafted trays. Never seen one prior to this!
