March pick up thread

[Baseballcrazy62]

Saw this the other day and decided to pick it up.

Awesome pennant!

Not much from me since the month has just started --

The H&B advertising pens, 50s toy and 1905 hardbound Spalding guide all came from a flea market this weekend.
The Oriole tin is probably not related to the baseball team, but the graphics are great.

[Shoeless Moe]

Say Hey,

I hope for your sake that is empty:

Mike, very nice piece. I like the display.

Paul — luckily the tin is bone dry!

Very cool! Someone here should know something about it.

I know this represents a team I despise. Other than that, I can’t help. 😜

[bobfreedman]

Not sure if the box is legit but thought it was cool, i will eventually purchase some T206’s and lay them inside for a nice display.

[GaryPassamonte]

Finally got this woodcut. I don't know what took so long.

[bgar3]

Great pickup Gary. That is the nicest hand painted one of them, or any woodcut I have ever seen. Was that Cronin’s? I wish I had room for one.

That is a nice one, congrats.

Hey Mike...
Maybe you'll like this one better. (see pic below). This the Cubs version (far right). As far as I know, the Cubs and Cardinals were the only two teams that ever did these.

Bignoff...
That's a nice figural piece (and pretty rare). I believe it was made in the 1920s or so, and served as either a Paperweight or perhaps just a souvenir Statue. I have seen the Cubs version made as an ashtray as well.

Hope this helps,
Mark

[1880nonsports]

It's a legit box and featuring R. J. Reynolds picture on the bottom...

That’s much better Mark. I could live with that one!

[Bignoff]

Thanks Mark! I was told in St. Louis that it was a reward for newsstands or paper boys for sales. I was guessing it was from the late 30's or early 40's Very cool if it's older.

Mark -
I enjoy seeing the photos when you post items in your collection.
Always great stuff - outstanding condition (right up my alley) and excellently displayed.

Thanks Jerry! Right back atcha…

I've always appreciated your impeccable taste and great eye for quality. If you're ever up in the Pacific NW (post Coronavirus of course) let me know... would love to grab a drink and give you a tour in-person!

A scarce Thompson photo of obscure Yankee Guy Zinn

[murphusa]

sometimes even the simple stuff is really cool

[sicollector1954]

A couple of gamers...65-69 Manny Mota and a 50/51 signed Tommy Holmes....both lifetime 300 plus hitters..

[sayhey24]

Great small stuff Jim.

Also love the Mota and Holmes bats — never would have guessed they were both lifetime .300 hitters!

Excellent bats! I have fond memories of Manny Mota--his bats from his Pirates days don't surface very often.

[sicollector1954]

Thanks....wish there was a number on either end but if there was...long gone....however, after seeing a number of his 1970 bats....this one checks out with the exact same length and weight which what he ordered later on in his career.

I picked this up off eBay Wednesday afternoon, and amazingly, it arrived in my post office box the following morning.

That’s gorgeous! NSGW? Native Sons of the Golden West? Little League?

Yes, it's the Native Sons of the Golden West.

[perezfan]

Thanks for the better close-ups Brock! Those are just gorgeous... I especially love the early logos of the Tigers, Pirates and Cubs (all of which I'd never seen before).

Ironically, the two you're still seeking were included in the Mastro Auction of many years back. The 3 that they offered at the time were Red Sox, Giants, and Athletics (which you already have).

Also... beautiful Uniform Chris! So rare to find that color and style in vintage Unis. And that Bear Patch is "off the charts" cool.

[CooperstownExpert]

I've always been drawn to the MLB lifetime passes. Just picked up these two issued to Al Simmons.

The paper passes didn't survive in as many numbers as the metal passes. The gold pass for Simmons is actually made of 10 karat gold.

If you like these kind of passes, there are many more on the CooperstownExpert.com site on this page.

Players' passes there include Simmons, Sliding Billy Hamilton, Bobby Wallace, Stan Coveleski, Joe Sewell, Ned Garver,Harvey Haddix, Dick Williams, Dave Parker, Minnie Minoso, Joe Cronin, and George Boomer Scott.

Also there are letters from Honus Wagner, Walter Johnson, and Fred Clarke thanking Ford Frick for their passes.

Lifetime passes to the Hall of Fame issued to Early Wynn and Joe McCarthy are also on the page.

If you go to the site, search for your favorite player and check it out. Thanks for looking.

Picked up this 1910-15 JF Hillerich & Son bat. Looks like there's part of the decal still on the barrel. Nice burnt finish with tape on the handle.

[packs]

Picked up this cool LA train ticket with an advertisement for the PCL's Opening Day in 1940; Chuck Eisenmann pitching. I've seen a few of these before and have been on the lookout for a while:

[ooo-ribay]

^^^ That is cool!

[Fredskinz]

Picked up these beauties at a local store. Been wanting these for a long time.

I'm happy to have just added this Rex Barney 1948 signed no-hitter ticket stub to my collection.
I now have tickets to 222 different no-hitter games dating back to 1901.
Of the 222 different no-hitter game tickets, 163 are signed by 169 different no-hit pitchers.

Although I already had a couple of tickets to Barney's no-hitter, I never have seen owned one that was signed, much less owned one.
To be honest, I never thought that I would ever find one. I wouldn't be surprised if this is a 1/1, but you never know...

This ticket is the 4th oldest signed no-hitter ticket that I have in my collection. Bob Feller's Opening Day no-hitter in 1940 is my oldest
26 of these no-hit pitchers are now sadly deceased.

I'm always looking to add earlier vintage no-hitter tickets to my collection. Please reach out to me if you think you can help.
Stay safe out there, everyone!

[doug.goodman]

Scott - your collection is amazing

[Scott Garner]

Thanks Doug! As you know, it's a labor of love.

[Tay1038]

Scott - amazing collection! Congrats on your recent Barney pick up.
