First thing I noticed too. And maybe 2 horses further out towards the left? 1 big and 1 small.

After seeing the pickups this month I’m almost embarrassed to post this. I picked this “16 Ruth Souvenir bat at a local antique store today. While conducting an on line search I came across a number of such 125 bats but could not find one with the 40 center brand. I’m fairly sure it is worth the $15.00 I paid for it but was hoping that someone could help me date it.

Interesting find, Mike - probably can't go wrong at $15.

Today was Christmas in September for me - the postman brought two 1905-15 gloves, one of which I have been working on all evening and will post pics in the morning - it turned out great . The UPS lady brought my Cano gamer and 1947 Sam Crawford handwritten letter. On the debit side, spent the afternoon working on my 1956 Yankees ball display, chopping up leather and pressing. So far....not so good Will post pics of disaster after I recover.

'Before' pics of gloves,etc., below. I'm really happy with the Cano gamer - I paid too much, but it was exactly what I was looking for: trademark taped handle, lots of pine-tar, no cracks, old-school wood look. I suspect it's actually a 2006 or 2007 bat that he took one or two hacks with in 2008 for Mr. Steiner, but that's cool with me. I have a Cano baseball he hit a double with, to display with it. I'm banking on him being the all-time doubles leader in ten years.

Thanks Mike. I had planned to remove the letter from its frame and re-frame with other Crawford items, but instead will just prop up in the man-cave.

The Cano bat is very dry and has wood separation on the barrel - seems kind of weird for a 6-year old bat, but maybe these days players are too lazy to properly bone their bats (not a euphemism). Makes me believe even more that this one is an older bat that was laying around doing nothing for a few years.

Default Los Angeles Angels PCL pennant

Picked up this LA Angels PCL pennant recently. Its the only one I've seen that has this particular LA logo. Most examples I've seen of this pennant have the interlocking LA logo (you know, the one the Dodgers "borrowed"). I'm guessing early to mid-1950s because of its similarity to the other pennants, but the logo does look similar to the 1942 Angels logo.

Great pickup on the Angels PCL Pennant!

I picked up 3 rare ones myself, all via ebay (which seems to have picked up lately). First time in an eternity that I've seen this Boston Bees Pennant...

Gary, Congrats...quite a ball....year appears to be 1865...almost looks like 1855...but the June eliminates that since the Union's started July 17th 1855...

How'd you land that?...can you give the who what where?...as balls like that don't grow on trees...looks like an auction piece...

So is it a candidate for restoration or is that out of the question?...Have you seen other Union of Morrisania trophy balls?...nice catch!

Picked up some fantastic baseballs at a garage sale yesterday. A Rawlings baseball in box with advertising for Endicott-Johnson Hi-Kick athletic shoes...also a Goldsmith Red/Blue stitched ball, and a canvas Spalding ball.

Thanks for the likes.
Carlton-I got the ball in the recent Legendary auction. The condition of the ball is what it is and will stay that way. Restoration would be a no-no for a trophy ball. There apparently was a small group of these Union of Morrisania balls found some years back. They remain quite rare, as are all trophy baseballs. I'm happy to have this one.

Beautiful ball, Bob. The 1927 Yankees are standing by with their green ink steel-point pens.

Great 1918 Sox team pic!!

Continuing the Red Sox theme, here's a program from the 1934 grand re-opening of the "new" Fenway Park, after a major construction overhaul thanks to a fire in the winter of '33-'34.

Haven't posted pickups in awhile -- here are a few from this month --

Items in the group photo that may be hard to see include a McCarthy/Lazzeri Type I photo, Jimmy Archer autograph, a Killebrew 500 HR mug and an early Mike Schmidt pencil.

Well, you have a point there. The Chickering coupon would probably be somewhat interesting to the card guys, as Chickering did a lot of late 1800's individual and team baseball cabinets. Thought this coupon might provide some insight into the costs of cabinet photos, but the guys over on this side are pretty much print collectors. In continuation of the theme of posting items that almost no one over here collects, I'll put up a couple of cabinets in a moment

Default 1950s Major League Scouts Business Cards

Here are some major league scout business cards picked up recently. After researching, I believe these originate mid to late 1950's. To me, the team logos are very appealing to the eye.

I did NOT win this 1922 Olympic soccer team sweater - it sold in today's RR auction for around $2,500. I dropped out at $1,600

So nice, though, that I had to post it.

I did win this 1960 Rome Olympics Athletes participant badge. Thought it looked cool and was undervalued.

Scott- I like that. It has the look of something much older than 1960. Very cool.

Thrilled to receive my very first Kreindler work today in the mail! It's a 5x7 study. I can't believe all the detail in the piece. Looks fantastic! I've been admiring his work for years on the board and am thrilled to have one of my own!

Thanks Jeremy. I have a 1910's BAA medal that is the same size and the same medal given to Boston Marathon finishers, so thought they might look good together. I guess I collect them now

I also picked up a Carl Lewis-signed 1996 USA Olympic team singlet. I spent almost every day at the track and field events that summer, so this was an overpriced 'must have'.

Also picked up a rag doll that belonged to FDR's family and 'lived' in the White House with them. Thought it would be an interesting Christmas gift someday for some as-yet-undetermined (or perhaps unborn) family member.

I picked both of these up yesterday. The first is my first type 1 photo. I emailed Ben to see if he knew much about the photo such as where it came from or who the other guy next to Ruth may be. He didn't know so if anyone out there has an idea it would appreciate it.



The second thing I ran across was an old wooden Worch cigar box. Don't know if it's the right period as I haven't found another one on the internet yet. Just thought it was cool. Now if I could just find the ball cards.
