Some of these items I got in the last few weeks, but haven't had time to do anything with them yet. Second from left on this postcard is Grover Cleveland Alexander..probably somewhere in France.

Here are a couple of great photos that I just picked up from net54's Lance Fittro:

1) HOF Satchel Paige pitching in relief of HOF Bob Feller 1948.
Sweet image of Satch!

2) Type II photo of Johnny Vander Meer and Babe Ruth on the bench prior to Vandy's 2nd consecutive no-hitter on 6/15/38.

BTW, in addition to being a cool image, this photo provided a photo match to the dugout featured in the William C. Greene Type I photo that net54's Graig Kreindler painted for me in 2012. The splintered board pictured just to the right of Vandy's head in the Vandy/ Babe photo is an exact photo match to the board to the left of Vandy in the William C. Green photo. Mystery solved, my painting is of Vandy in the Ebbets Field visitor dugout.

I'm pretty certain now that this photo was taken on 6/17/38, two days after the second no-hitter. I believe that Greene actually shot the photo of Vandy w/ Babe as well.

Well I'm going through New Hampshire visiting son at college and go antiquing with wife. Come across a Tober baseball, green and red stitched and the dealer had write up of Red Rolfe on panel and his stats because it was clearer for him to read. There are other sigs. And i look through the glass and say to my wife.Thats GEHRIG on the sweet spot. Love when dealers don't check the ball closely, or don't know baseball. payed 130.00 dollars. Was thrilled to death.My wife enhanced on photo shop. The bottom 3 photos are the real pics of the ball.Also nice basketball uniform i think from the twenties from James w. Brine. great cond. came out of trunk in New Hampshire. Also unused D&M scorecard. Very successful day i'd say...

Dang it, if I had known that photo closed the loop on your Kreindler painting locale mystery, I could have squeezed you for a few more bucks!

Just kidding! Glad to have found an appreciative new home for those guys, and especially now knowing you're feeling the gratification of a solved mystery. I know you'll take good care of them

A couple of new photos:

Bob Feller with his father as an 18yr old in training camp 1937

bobfeller1937002.jpg

Ban Johnson - 1923. I'm showing the back not just because I like the saying written on the back, but it also looks like the photographer signed it. Does anyone recognize who the photographer might be?

I would love to have a hi-res scan of the Feller pic. I own the catcher's mitt that Feller's Dad used when Bob Feller was 13-16 (according to Bob Feller), so while this probably isn't a pic of my glove, it would still be cool to have a good copy for the display.

Just arrived today - the 1889 Chicago banquet program in honor of Al Spalding and the baseball team that just returned from their world tour!

There is a silk overlay on the cover with the ship design, and then a cool map underneath the silk, detailing all the stops on the trip. I especially like the baseball field at the foot of the sphinx, as it really happened! The inside of the program features speeches and toasts planned (Al Spalding, John Montgomery Ward among others!), and a heck of a big food spread.

Anyone else planning on pointing their time machine back to April 19, 1889 in Chicago??

I don't usually pick up too many things on the collectibles side...But jumped at a few AL/NL Service Bureau photos...

I don't know much about them, the only dating window I can really piece together is based on the bureau manager's tenures.. The Harridge pre-dates anything I previously had on him anyways. So I'm definitely happy with that. The Waner just caught my interest, because it's the same photo used on the c1930 Philadelphia Badge pin.. I'd love to get more accurate dates on these though..

please ignore the seller's watermark...

The NL Service Bureau photos often look like they were cut out of something larger and seldom have 4 borders all around them. They are older than the AL counterparts however and range from the mid-1920's (as early as 1924 if I remember correctly from the dates I have seen) up to the early 1930's. In general these are not super collectable because people always think they are trimmed off a larger composite or something and dismiss them when this is simply how they were issued. There is often a stamp on the back (This is from memory so dont kill me if I am wrong "Cullen Cain" or something like that). They dont have a uniform size and sometimes are short and fat and other times large and skinny. NL Service Bureau photos are "technically" type 3 if you want to get picky, which is why I have problems with the "Type1-4 system". They are photos of photos often times with cropping and enhancements but done by the photographers at the time, so who cares right? PSA does.

The American League Service Bureau photos are 7X5 inches, and can range in date from 1928 through the 1930's. They are beautiful and REALLY cool shots and as far as I am concerned, they are undervalued by collectors, probably because of their size. I have always thought these could easily be part of a Baseball Card "Set" as they are photos (for sure) but were also part of a larger group issued by company (The American League) for promotional purposes, the same as Baseball Cards. PLUS their size lends to Card Collecting crossovers as well. I LOVE EM!

Thanks Rhys.

That's pretty much about the same as what I was able to find out. For a hair over $5 a piece, I'm pretty happy with 'em..

There were three issues on ebay with Johnson on the covers - I only got this one, but it's one of my favorite images of him:

I love oversized Pirate items like this. It measures 8 feet, 8 inches long from the middle to the end and it is 2 feet, 10 inches wide at the end. The union stamping, font, and graphics on the item are consistent with the stamping I saw on the 1970 NL East Pennant http://monthly.scpauctions.com/LotDe...px?lotid=15572 . Due to this I would think it came from the same year. The Sign and Pictorial No. Local 479 union has since changed their name. I have only seen their work on 1970 items related to Three Rivers Stadium. I am planning on contacting them next week to see if they can help me narrow down the date or event this pennant was created for. I am certain I am in the minority on such items but I love them nonetheless.

The other item is a 1960's era straw hat that I had not seen before.

I wanted a Yankee 1953 ring for a long time. Finally got one! The '53 ring was unlike any other Yankee Champions ring from the late 40's through the 60's. It had a "5" on top to celebrate their 5th consecutive World Series Championship.

This is a player's ring and out of respect for his family I can't reveal who the player was. He was not one of the names we often speak of, but still contributed to the success of the team.

Here's an 1800's cabinet photo picked up from Leon - I collect 1800's albumens, generally in action or with catcher's gear, so a huge thanks!

It has an old matt around it, so you can't see the edges:

Scott, Really nice looking photo...looks like a tricycle of sorts also in the shot. What are the dimesnions? Can you post a shot that includes the backing, that is the whole thing?

Dan- that is a great post card of Grover Alexander - considering the effect that the War had on his health. (shell shock, loss of hearing). Interesting to figure out how long he had served by the time the photo was taken.

Regardless, very cool item.

Thanks for the nice comments.

The player wore it for years after he retired. I came close to buying Joe Collins '53 ring directly from his son but at the last minute he got a better offer from Heritage Associates. The son told me he sold that ring to them and they put it in their auction. That ring was in great shape. I would have preferred the ring that I acquired had less wear because this lowers the value of the piece.

Carlton, the previous owner described it as a 'wheelchair'. The exposed part of the front is 5x7, the entire back is 6x8. I just removed the matt, which is probably early 1900's. The border of the original cabinet mount was trimmed away rather haphazardly, the matt improving its display.

Definitely not a wheelchair...it's chain driven and you can see the pedals. I've not seen anything like that...possibility that that three wheel bike is of more significance than the baseball theme. Great photo!

nice little 3x5 of Larry Doby. No idea of the date, (I'm led to believe late 40's, but I really don't know for sure) but I think it's a beautiful shot..

Dan,
I think it is a wheelchair, though I can't be positive. I sold one recently in my store. The front wheel was larger, but other than that looked the same. Chain driven and pedals. Had a great crinkled decal 'The Improved Care-Chair for the Infirm' from the Ohio Wheel Company. Didn't make sense to me how the infirm would have use for pedals, but there you go.
Do you think I bothered to take pictures? Of course not. Google provides no help.
Very cool photo.

I saw a push pedal one similar on American Restoration(Season4Ep.#11), they thought it was an Irish mail cart. It wasn't and turned out to be a wheel chair made for Polio victims.,

Thanks for the info....I'm still looking at that thing in wonderment. What is that chain connected to at the top...how does that thing work?

Ours was a lot less elaborate. No double-wall spoke wheels, just clunky steel rims. The outers were gone and it wasn't obvious if it was wooden or rubber wheels, though I suspect wood.
The chair mechanism was a wooden hand crank, though we never cranked ours due to rust. I didn't want the chain or gear to snap. Basically just a crank with a small gear that drives a larger gear.
It couldn't have been easy to crank and you certainly weren't going anywhere fast but as a wheelchair, back then, speed was probably not the goal. I'm sure downhill was a breeze

Thanks for the wheelchair/bicycle information. I don't get why it would have pedals if it's a wheelchair. If you google '1800s wheelchair', most of the images look like archaic versions of the modern wheelchair, with this exception, which does not have a chain or pedals:

I am fairly certain I saw an episode of American Restoration where they restored one of these (or similar) wheelchair/bicycles...

Hey all,

I picked up this guy last week, and I'm pretty thrilled:



The shot was taken on August 17, 1937 and depicts Gomez leaving the mound after shutting out the Senators, 9-0 in the first game of a doubleheader. The dejected look he had was due to the death of his mother, which he had learned about that same day.

Talk about composure.
