Anyone ever seen a wallet like this?

Hi All:

As a kid in the late 50's early 60's I had a wallet that looks a lot like the one below only it had Lew Burdette on the front. I also recall seeing one of Ted Williams.

Everything looks the same, the color of the plastic, the blue trim etc. I have looked for years and never saw another until this recently popped up on ebay and somehow I saw it.

I asked the seller if he had seen any baseball and he replied no. I emailed the winner but have yet to hear back. I expect no luck there either as he is a western collector looking at his won auctions.

So, how about it? Anyone here have or ever seen a baseball wallet like this??

Larry:

Any photos of the ones you note above?

Is the Williams like the one below? If so that is not what I am talking about.

The Burdette was light brown plastic like the Paladin shown with the smooth edge. Had a snap change pocket inside as I recall.

I've never seen a baseball wallet in similar style, although, believe it or not, this jogs my memory -- my first was a Roy Rogers.

So Larry, since you can't post photos, do the Bit O Honey wallets look like the Paladin or the Williams above, or different than both?

Hi All:

I started this thread about a year and a half ago. I noted I was looking for something I had back in the late 50's a Lou Burdette wallet.

I mentioned I recalled a Ted Williams wallet that was issued like the Burdette. I guess I bought the Burdette because I liked the NL best being a Phillies fan. In all my years of collecting I had not seen another and was starting to think I dreamed the whole thing!

That was before this years National when I spotted the Ted Williams wallet. See photo below.

I hope it does not take me another 50+ years to find the Burdette! Now that you have all seen the picture of what I am talking about, anyone out there have the Burdette?
