July Pickups
Thought I would start this one a day early, since the old June thread dropped way down the list. I was happy to pick up a couple of great early Baseball Mugs...
The lidded glass mug was in REA years ago, and I was happy to see it re-surface. As many times as I gazed at it in the Catalogue, it's even neater in person.
The Tray with the painted baseball scene (from ebay) was advertised as a Reds/Dodgers piece. Was disappointed to find it's actually a generic piece, but still very attractive.
The 1954 Giants Pennant is the first I've seen in 20+ years of collecting pennants. Had to compromise on condition, but it was worth it, as I have never seen another. This design was originally utilized for the 1951 All Star Game Pennant, so this could easily be a 1951 "Phantom" as well (the Yankees prevailed as World Champs, despite Bobby Thomson's earlier heroics).
