Posted By: <b>Mike H</b><p>Good point Clint. I actually moved things around my office today and am going to build a nice oak case in a corner. I'm working on design elements now.

Posted By: <b>Matt</b><p>Clint, <br />The double knob is a great bat. I wish I won it, but besides the Halper example, it the first one that I know of that sold for over 3,000 publicly. It proves that the early bats are still going strong which is good to see.<br />Matt

Posted By: <b>Clint</b><p>Matt, I agree completely. I just watched two Spalding bats go higher than I've ever seen. A Keeler Gold Medal sold over $1100 and a Evers Gold Medal went for over $600. I've noticed that quality early bats are getting fewer and far between. <br /><br />Clint

Posted By: <b>CarltonHendricks</b><p>Nice shoot'n on the ring bat Brock...36" is a good size. Any maker? how about a close up of the ring and barrel end?

Posted By: <b>Greg Theberge</b><p>Hey, I finally added something baseball in the last year! Don't get too excited now...but it's the first thing I've seen that wasn't priced at a gazillion dollars. Will still look good next to the other pins I guess.<br /><br /><img src="http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z192/HiNeighbor_2007/kargerpin.jpg"><br /><br />back to the game...

Posted By: <b>Brock G.</b><p>No maker on the ring bat Carlton. I'll post some more pics shortly. Camera battery is currently dead. But the bat does have the squared off, flat top like you mentioned. Bat has several nice 19th century characteristics; long and heavy, center rings, flat top, and a miniscule little knob.

Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>Sweet ring bat Brock!<br /><br />Here are a couple of my recent pickups.<br />First is a 1895 McLoughlin Bros The Yale and Princeton FootBall Board Game. I lost out in one of these in an estate auction a few years ago, and was very happy to pickup this one up. <br /><br /><img src="http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n193/kjjavic/Mcloughlin1.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n193/kjjavic/mcloughlin2.jpg"><br /><br />Next I picked up another pennant quilt and this time I decided to start taking this one apart. The quilt has some nice circa 1910 college pennatns in it, but the quilt itself was pretty unappealling with pennants jutting out here and there, so I didn't feel bad taking it apart.<br />I have taken off 5 or 6 pennants so far and they are coming off very well.<br /><br /><img src="http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n193/kjjavic/Quilt.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n193/kjjavic/Quiltafterremoval.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Keith, great pickups there...the Peru pennant is most likely Nebraska State Normal School...now know as Peru State College.

Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>Thanks Dan, I think you're right on the Peru pennant.<br /><br />Great pickup on your photo too. That is a fantastic price for an identified 19th century cabinet photo, nice find.

Posted By: <b>Jodi Birkholm</b><p>Greg T,<br /><br />I certainly wouldn't mind adding an example of Mr. Karger's autograph to my collection. I really would have figured to see one turn up over all this time, but I've had no luck. Same goes for his teammate Irv Higgenbotham.

Posted By: <b>CarltonHendricks</b><p>Anonymous Keith,<br />Wow, great game....I think it may even be an early version of that particular game. I'll have to wait till I get home to study mine...The Yale Princeton is the best/most deluxe version of the Mcloughlin football games...coincidently, because of a particular Mcloughlin football game at the National, I elaborated on them in my story...Since you picked this up you may be interested in the examination...which you'll be able to read soon. Hey nice pennants too, nice going!<br />Carlton

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Keith, I just now noticed the Cotner pennant. It is from a defunct college in Lincoln, NE. Cotner College.<br /><br />Where did this pennant quilt originate from?<br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cotner_College" target="_new">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cotner_College</a>

Posted By: <b>Keith</b><p>Ooops Carlton, I logged in but I guess I forgot to fill in the name slot. Thanks for the info, I can't wait to read the writeup. That is great that it may be an early version. I know Hunts had one 2 years ago that had the same graphics, however in a slightly different orientation, with the little boy in the right corner, and the pennants in the upper left and right corner.<br /><br />Dan, I hadn't had a chance to research Cotner yet, so thanks alot for the help. I picked up the quilt on ebay, as to where it originated from prior to that, I'm not sure<br /><br />thanks again

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Keith the NWU Pennant is Nebraska Wesleyan...which is also located in Lincoln..and I'm guessing by this point the Red swatch with the N on it is from the U of Nebraska. Heck the only Lincoln school your missing there is Union College. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>Brock G.</b><p>I think this pennant was listed the day after the first one ended. Seems like the seller probably saw the price the first one sold for and realized what a gem they had. Congrats Jim.

Posted By: <b>Mike H</b><p>Thanks guys. Nobody knows for sure how many styles and variations exist, but the Tigers seem to have been toward the top of the list when you consider design, quality, and variety. I love the fact that they dated so many pennants and incorporated unique design features to many. I only have 13 Tigers pennants, but I only collect thier pre 1950 pieces.

Posted By: <b>Clint</b><p>Dan, yeah it's first generation although the back is stamped 1920. I'm sure the picture was taken a few years earlier though. David if I'm wrong correct me here.
