May pickups

Hope there's not a rule about who gets to start these threads, but I just had to share.

I acquired a stack of memorabilia belonging to a coach local to my hometown, Fresno, CA.

He was a little league coach to Tom Seaver and Jim Maloney. Here's a look at one of his notebooks/scrapbooks...fascinating stuff.

John,
Very cool pickup! I really love to look at old scrapbooks. :cool::)

Jim Maloney and Tom Seaver were certainly two of the greatest hurlers (or players) to ever hail from Fresno. I think that Jim Maloney still lives there if I'm not mistaken.

BTW, I met Mr. Maloney about 3 years ago at Reds fest and had a chance to speak to him about his two no-hitters (and his third unofficial no-hitter). Great guy!

Very cool Joe. I never would have made the trophy connection but it's obvious now that you pointed it out:)

1865 Harwood & Sons Baseball Letter

Fantastic 1865 Harwood and Sons Baseball Letter.
Thank you fellow member Paul for the piece and a deciphering job that was much better than my own. :D

Goes something like this...

Messrs. Gilbert & Wells,

We send you today for RR to ? 14 larger sacks which we suppose will hold balance of your stock of scraps.

If we were to pack them we should string up the sack at the 4 corners by cords to the joists on ceiling overhead just allowing the bottom of the sack to touch the floor--then put a man inside the sack to tend them and get in twice as many.

Yours respectfully,
H Harwood & Sons

Very cool Mike. Harwood was the first mfg of baseballs, I believe, and this letterhead is only a few years after they began operations.

Thanks Joe....and you are correct. Harwood was founded in 1858 and the first baseball factory in the world. Interesting that the original building was closed in 1998 and has now been converted into condominiums.

The word in front of "RR" is probably via. 'We send to you today via RR (railroad) to ...' The word after to looks like Fonda.

Was able to pick up a few new lineup cards. These were found in an old barn in Virginia. It looks like a kid tried writing the names of the players on some of these. Somehow he confused "Williams, LF" for the Red Sox. At 38 years old Williams batted .388 and finished 2nd in the MVP race to some guy named Mantle.

Really excited to find 2 new HOF managers in Lopez and Boudreau (brings my total up to 15 different HOF'ers), along with the cool Red Sox card and a nice Orioles line-up card.

I don't collect pins or pennants but the pieces shared here are awesome. What year on the Buster Brown pin? At first glance, I saw the Morton's and thought salt. Neat stuff.

Al,

Thanks for the information. Where the pins distributed with each purchase of shoes or an in-store freebie? I did a search on Buster Brown pins and baseball and the results returned a ton of Buster Brown pins, which was neat, since I was unaware that such an item existed, but I did not see any pins with baseball players depicted.

Is there a definitive guide for collecting pins and pennants? I really don't want to start collecting either collectible but the items shown on the board are inspiring!

Hey Dean -

For pennants: https://www.amazon.com/Vintage-Penna.../dp/0557080053

The author is a Net54 member (lefty147, I believe) and there is a second edition as well. I hate to speak for Mike but he might still be selling the guides for about half of that amazon price.

For pins: Baseball Pinback Buttons by Paul Muchinsky. A beautiful, full color, 600 page hardback. It's out of print and I think nearly impossible to find.

Hey Tom,
Great pick ups!
The French magazine is killer! Is it dated? What are the dimensions?

Brent

btcarfagno 05-14-2017 04:36 PM

Thanks. I likely paid too much for it but also do not know if I would ever see another one.

It is very large. About 10x14 inches.

I've been looking for that pinback book for a bit now and have not been able to find a copy. Good luck finding one.

My first add to my 1970s/80s Yankees collection. Picked up a 1978 Burger King Yankees poster off eBay for less than 5 bucks shipped. Just need to frame it when I can. Had this poster as a kid and have been wanting to pick it up again for a while and Im glad I was able to.

Trunk Drunk
 
Thanks. One of things I am fascinated with is how long these trunks were used/remained in the team’s inventory. I have one Yankees trunk that I know was used from the early 1930s well into the 1960s (evidenced by shipping label information). Others are a bit more interesting because they are personal team trunks and have a real connection to time and place. Of these I have three:

1937-1938 Brooklyn Dodgers Team Trainer Trunk. (Edward Froelich) One of the first “team trainers” to actually have studied the field of sports medicine if you will.

1934-1937 New York Yankees Team Physician Trunk for Medical Supplies & Equipment. (Dr. E.A. Spies) I can’t help but wonder if Dr. Spies gave Ruth his last Yankee’s physical, given DiMaggio his first Yankee’s physical, and also treated Gehrig in some manner at the close of his career.

Late 1940s/Early 1950s Cleveland Indians Traveling Secretary Trunk. (Spud Goldstein) This one is interesting as there is some anecdotal evidence to suggest that Goldstein may have initially transported Larry Doby’s uniforms to prevent them from being vandalized.

All of them harken back to a time of train travel and Pullman cars.
