My first arrival of 09. There is a Tiger head between the two players at the top. It measures 8 1/2 x 12. |

Mike...that really is a great plate...what's the whole scoop on it? when, where, how (much), etc...I like it because it's real...something that was made to be used, not just decorative....Glen Mechanick had a tooth pick holder, or maybe it was a creamer....at the 08' National, see below -Carlton |

Thanks Carlton. It was a Best offer request on ebay for $195 and the seller accepted my offer of $125. They arean't extremely scarce, but I love it. The players have laced jerseys and there is a Tigers head (no idea if it relates to Detroit). I'm also a sucker for anything with crossed bats. The plate is probably the most common piece from the set for obvious reasons. |

Mike, I don't know the origins, but that "S" should be a great help in trying to track it down. Great piece btw! |

I guess I should have looked sooner but I have a small dish from this set. The back maker didn't turn out real clear but it's from the Shenango Pottery Co. New Castle PA. It also has an impression of Shenango China New Castle Pa on the back. I guess the S may stand for Shenango. Here's a link to the company. |

Some recent arrivals: RedSox straight razor and box, Red Jacket tobacco ad sign, and two Phillies (1960 & 1961) schedule signs which I really like. |

Picked up three "keybook" photos of Ronald Reagan as Grover Alexander in The Winning Team (1952). I don't know what "Keybook" photos mean, but they are attached to a piece of paper that came from a notebook marked "Page 31" with some other stuff written that I have no idea what it means...anyway they were used on the movie set or something. |

I have a piece of two of the pottery. I was told it was for the Detroit tigers and the S represented the pottery company. Not sure if I can find the sales reference, but I'll take a look |

Hey Brock...looks incomplete to me. I've had a few and sold them for around $50-$75. Mine were more complete, but they did not have the photo that comes with the game..which you are also missing it looks like. |

Dan, those are some beautiful programs. I just love the creativity and artistry from the 1950s... such an imaginitive "golden" era for baseball memorabilia. |

Great stuff as usual guys. I couldn't believe it when I saw these in a scrapbook today. Lots of great history online about this game including a near brawl at it's conclusion. This was the last game played in S.F. on a neutral field. |

Andy, I couldn't tell you an exact figure or really even a ballpark figure, but I do know and have seen memorabilia (programs/tickets) from Cal/Stanford games in that era bring big bucks. I used to search out early Cornhusker items from that era and preWWI Nebraska stuff is really tough. |

Good looking program Frank...I bet that's a tough one. Now you need to find a 1921 New Orleans program with Dazzy Vance in it. |

Dan, yes it is a Toots Shor menu. This one is in pretty good shape too. Not only is the picture great, but the other neat thing is checking out the menu prices from 1952. This is one of my favorite pickups. |

Picked these 2 items up on Ebay recently. The pennant is huge! I'm still doing research on it's origins. |

Branham & Hughes was a military academy in Tennessee....The pennant looks to be circa 1910's. |
