That is really cool Bob. Any idea of the year it was made or if there was a particular reason it was made?

Connie Mack just loved the elephant logo of his Philadelphia Athletics, as can be seen by this cast iron white elephant made to commemorate the 1911 World Series win by the A's and given away to guests at a celebratory dinner held later that year. The elephant is approximately 3" tall and is standing on a black cast iron base that measures approximately 1" tall and depicts a small baseball diamond on the top. There is engraved writing on all four sides of the base. The front reads, "Athletics, Champions of the World 1911" while the back says, "Dinner, Hotel Astor, New York, December 12, 1911". One side of the base says, "American Base Ball Club of Philadelphia" while the other says, "Baseball Writers Association of America". The trunk and the tusks are very prone to breaking as well as the white paint chipping Thank you all! Last edited by bobfreedman; 03-22-2018 at 02:40 PM. |

Not sure why uploading the scans isn't working, but I won the "October 1945 Kansas City Royals vs. Kent Parker's All-Stars Official Program w/Jackie Robinson & Satchel Paige" from the Love of the Game Auction.
Items from Jackie's time in the Negro Leagues are few and far in between. It's not clear whether he played in this game (his name is crossed out and the listing makes the assumption that he didn't, though they couldn't find a box score) but still having his name printed on a program from when he was in the Negro Leagues, along with Satchell Paige pitching for his team and Bob Feller on the other side, makes it an interesting piece in my book. http://loveofthegameauctions.com/Oct...-LOT15443.aspx |

March Pick-Ups
Picked up these 3 display pieces recently: Kansas State Mascot Bank, Chicago Blackhawks Gold Base Nodder, and green 1880's Majolica Pitcher with baseball scene. I was able to get the Majolica pitcher for a song because of the chip on the rim. As I understand it, this Majolica series was the first example of a baseball scene on a piece of pottery. I know the green is fairly common, but still nice to find at a bargain.

First ever snapshot pickup for me. Foreground rookie Snider and Hermanski in 1947. Background Jackie Robinson, though it oddly looks like he's fielding warm-ups at second base, a position he didn't play in 1947, if memory serves. Crappy clarity on my scan.
A cool, little snapshot from a lifelong Cubs fan (judging by some quick internet research).
