July Pickups
 

Got this in a lot of mainly cheap Yankee things. My guess is an art project? Really neat Mickey Mantle Gold Plaster mini plaque???? NFS/T

That's cool!

Looks better than a kid's art project to me. Never seen another, and love unique pieces like this. What are the measurements?

I love it too. Really pops. about 3x 3 1/2

very nice looking and very different

Does anyone else have any idea on where this came from? Or could provide someone who could? Thanks all!

Jos Hoover & Sons 1900 Print “A Game of Ball”
 

Recently picked up this large framed chromolithograph by well known printer Jos Hoover of Philadelphia. The print is dated 1900. It’s large, measuring 16”x 20” not counting the frame. What was especially interesting to me was the equipment used by the kids: Ring bat, padded catchers mitt and I believe a figure eight baseball. I believe the frame may be original, as Hoover originally opened his business as a frame shop. As far as I know, this is the only sports related he made. I also believe this one is fairly rare.

Thought I'd post here too...From Goldin...

Hammerin Hank adds 2 of his own in a 14-4 loss. The Giants hit a total of 8 homers off Braves pitching from the April 30, 1961 Braves/Giants game.
