A couple of new early Johnny Vander Meer pickups
I recently picked up two neat early Vandy items to add to my collection. Both items are from the 1937-1939 era.
1) Extremely rare Johnny Vander Meer and Frank McCormick Huskies Cereal promotional postcard. It looks to have possibly been a Cincinnati regional promotion based on the info on the back of the postcard. Circa 1937-1938
2) Great Draper and Maynard advertising piece re: a D & M Johnny Vander Meer endorsed baseball circa 1938-1939. This page was removed from a Stollberg Hardware (Toledo, OH) catalog produced in the period. A great look at many vintage baseballs sold back in the day. Check out the baseball prices ranging from 10 cents to about $1.75 cents each depending on your budget... Vandy's ball went for 60 cents a throw....
What a deal!
