February Pickup Thread-

[BrockJacob]

Picked up this circa 1900 "Ball Bats" cigar box. 1st example I've seen.
Also knocked off these two from the want list; 1930s tin baseball game and Connie Mack bank.

Wow Brock.... the Connie Mack Bank is utterly impossible in that condition.

Great Cigar Box and Game as well. 3 wonderful pickups.... congrats!

[BrockJacob]

Thanks Mark. I've been waiting for a nice example of one of these banks for quite a while. It has a small dime-size dent on the back above the elephant but other than that its near perfect.

Picked up this Honus Wagner RPPC. I really like it because it was from San Bernadino (close to san diego) and has baseball content on the back.

The back says:
Just came from a ball game between the Pirates and the White Soxs. Score 11-4, White Sox won. We saw Joe Lewis & Jimmy Dikes at the game. (signed) R.M. Hallman

I am assuming he meant Jimmy Dykes

That's a great postcard Daniel. You don't see too many real photo postcards from that era.

Just picked this up as a companion piece to my three vintage original TYPE I snapshots from said tour.
