Mystery 1922 Chicago vs. New York Flask
 

I have had this piece on consignment for some time, but can find absolutely no information on it. It must have been a somewhat important game. Here is what I do know.

1922 Chicago vs. New York Baseball Commemorative Sterling Silverplated Flask. Presented by B.M. C of C. which is probably a chamber of commerce in the New York area where one would presume the game was played. Measures 3 3/8" wide by 4 1/2" tall and 5/8" thick. An interesting piece of baseball memorabilia from what must have been an important game, honored by this flask amid the early days of prohibition.

So....I finally figured why not ask the collective members here, who will probably ID it within 24 hours.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Here is my stab at trying to help you to identify this piece...

In 1922, the New York Giants held their Spring Training in San Antonio, TX. Coincidentally, the Chicago White Sox trained in Seguin (just outside of San Antonio) that year.

They could have possibly taken the same train on the way back up north and stopped in Blue Mound, TX (just north of Fort Worth) to play an exhibition game. Perhaps the flask could be a commemorative of that game? (Blue Mound Chamber of Commerce)

Can you make out what the hallmark says that is stamped on the back side of the flask? It might help to pin down where it's from.

Hope this helps!

Chicago Firemen played a 3 game series vs. the NY Firemen in 1922

Not sure if this flask has anything to do with it, the last game was played at Ebbets Field. BMC of C throws it off, but maybe something like Brooklyn Manahatten Chamber of Commerce? Couldn't find info on the first 2 games, only the last one in the link provided.

After taking a look at the hallmark, it is EAM with Sterling below it. EAM was a very prominent maker of upper end flasks in the 1920's,

or maybe Borough of Manhattan Chamber of Commerce?
