Here are a couple worthy of showing...
A mint condition, never-used Lucky Strike straight razor, and a Baseball Anonymous Tie Bar. I got the Baseball Anonymous piece because it looked really nifty and depicts two rather secretive hands shaking. Almost like a tribute to those of us who admit to being addicted collectors... sort of like gamblers anonymous or alcoholics anonymous. Does anyone know what "Baseball Anonymous" might really pertain to? The reverse is inscribed to Jersey Schalk (a nickname or possible relative of Ray Schalk?) Please provide any insight you may have, and thanks! |
Great items Mark. I really love all the oddball stuff the board has posted...

From the DiMaggio estate comes a nifty piece of Yankees luggage that was a gift to Joe DiMaggio from the team for the 1977 Old Timers Game. I don't have a scan of the inside but the lining is pinstriped. It looks really cool. Also comes with the original shipping box with the Clipper's San Francisco address and the Yankee logo on the label.

Baseball Anonymous ???
Hey Perezfan,
I found this online biography pertaining to Red Faber with the following quote. Perhaps your Tie Bar is related?? "In retirement, Faber was among the founders of Baseball Anonymous, an organization created to help former ballplayers (and athletes from other sports) who were down on their luck. Growing to nearly 700 members (at $2 per year) in its first year, Baseball Anonymous performed many good deeds; most were handled quietly, but in 1958, when Faber was the group's general chairman, Baseball Anonymous arranged a Comiskey Park ceremony to honor former White Sox pitching great Ed Walsh, who was 77 years old and struggling physically and financially. The group also staged benefits for other former players who had fallen upon hard times. Faber was a regular at Hot Stove League banquets and old-timers games in Chicago and Milwaukee." |
Perez,
This may help as well... "It was in these later years that Schalk operated a popular bowling and pool hall establishment in Evergreen Park, Illinois. Ray was also one of the founders of Baseball Anonymous, an organization whose charge was to assist indigent ballplayers. In 1965, after assistant coaching at Purdue University for 18 years, Ray Schalk finally retired from baseball at the age of 72. Interestingly, throughout all his years following the game of baseball, Schalk would never fail to call and congratulate the catcher of a no-hitter. Schalk always remained popular with Chicagoans, and was invited to catch the first ball of the 1959 World Series, thrown out by Red Faber." |
Shawn...
Thanks so much for researching that! That's terrific information and seems to leave little doubt as to what the tie bar represents. The Schalk tie in confirms it... I really appreciate the info, as now this piece has true meaning (other than just looking really cool). Thanks again for providing a perfect example of what makes this forum so great! |

Just a few odds and ends I have around the house
These are 5 full sheets of Cubs stationary. They all have interesting notations on them regarding traveling expenses from the Cubs traveling secretary, Bob Lewis. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...erhead2001.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...erhead1001.jpg This is a 8 X 10 original photo of Wrigley Field circa 1930's (before the bleachers were built. Note the pitcher and batter on top of the scoreboard. The scan would not allow me to get the whole photo but its easy to imagine the filled stands with kids in the trees watching the Babe raise his fingers in the 1932 world series. By the way...he didnt call his shot...I talked to a number of old timers that were there and they all say the same thing!! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...wrigley001.jpg |

Here are some items from Bill "Moose" Skowron's days playing ball in Austin, Minnesota for the Austin Packers of the Southern Minny League. The first item is a sketch book put out by the team for the 1950 season with photos of each player on the team. The next item is a scorecard from the 1st game that Moose ever played in the Southern Minny League. The last is a set of photos put out by the team and each one has been signed by the player including Moose.

The Moose is Loose
Usually I don't suffer from envy when someone posts a great card or memorabilia item, but that Bill Skowron sketch makes me crazy jealous. Moose was my baseball hero back in those wonderful boyhood days in the ancient fifties. I picked up this motheaten cap from one of the auctions a few years ago, ostensibly game worn in 1957 by him, possibly seen upon his head by Mini-Me as he manned first base. Who knows? This photograph of Moose as a Purdue fullback and stamped Nov 3, 1949 was acquired from the latest Henry Yee eBay sale and was delivered about 10 minutes ago.

Hi David, I am glad you like the Moose Skowron sketch. I am from Austin so I have always been interested in memorabilia from the 1950 Austin Packers team with Moose on it. Unfortunately, there isn't a lot of stuff around from this team. I do have almost all of the scorecards from the 1950 season. Take care. Dan |
