19th Century Baseball Memorabilia
Since my collecting interest is in 19th century baseball and memorabilia is becoming a greater interest for me, I thought it would be nice to see some. Please post your 19th century memorabilia and ephemera and the earlier the better. I have posted an item I just acquired and showed on the July pick up thread to get the ball rolling. It is a ticket to the " Fourth Annual Hop" of the Newark Base Ball Club and is dated 2/15/1860.

Here is my 1889 Trophyball and 1850's-60's Railroad Bat. Looking forward to this thread.

Great stuff!
Perez Fan ( Mark? )- Is that silver cup from Rochester NY? I live very close and am curious about the cup's history. Thanks. |

Below is the link to the write-up from Hunt's. It does not specify Rochester, New York, but I would guess that it is indeed from that Rochester. The engraved initials above read "N Y S J A A" and I would assume the "NY" portion makes reference to New York. I would also guess that the "AA" portion stands for Athletic Association. Not sure about the "SJ" in the middle. I really don't know any history beyond what Hunt's put in their description... http://www.huntauctions.com/LIVE/ima...=877&lot_qual= Despite the lack of information, I was attracted to the piece for its detailed and ornate artistry, aesthetic beauty, and the fact that it somehow remains Near Mint after 116 years! Sorry I cannot be of any help on the event that it commemorates Now throwing out a guess on the engraved initials... New York State Junior Athletic Assn. (NYSJAA).
