September Pick Ups

My first pick up post. Nothing too special, just a 9 inch mini pennant. Not sure on the date of this one. Could be early 1960s MLB Angels, but I haven't seen any other examples of the logo or font used by the MLB team. Might be 1950s PCL Angels?

I'm 100% sure that this is not from the ML Los Angeles Angels era. I suspect that you are correct that this is from the PCL Angels era, FWIW.

This is the fourth boxing piece in a row I picked recently.....I got a boxing clock too but no photo, post later...

www.SportsAntiques.com
Anyways....this little 4" tall boxer is what's referred to as a Vienna Bronze...usually they're painted, occasionally not...Vienna Bronzes were made in Vienna Austria from about the 1880's to as late as the 1930's I believe, Typically they're between 1" and 4" tall, usually very finely hand painted, and came in a myriad of subjects...often fanciful girly themes of animals, kittens and such...some were risqu�...Arab/Oriental ones were popular....and a very slight few sports ones were produced. And yes there is a baseball one that goes for big bucks and is extremely rare...that's what I use for my thumbnail photo!. From what I can cull...They caught on in popularity and were exported around the world...typically sold in jewelry and gift stores I think. If you go to my website above you can read more about the boxing ones as I have it featured at the top my home page. Also I've written two other short features on them, links below

LOVE the photo of the Deans!

LOVE the photo of Herman holding the bats. What a colorful painting that would make!!

Hi All:

Here is an original clay model that the artist Nick Calcagno did for the Hartland company to show them what his vision of the Wagner statue would look like.

He also did some pen and ink drawings also shown. Hartland accepted his design and agreed to use his work for the statue they issued. Also shown is the finished product

A neat addition to my Hartland collection.

Fred

Nice pics Mike. Here's the Speaker without the crop marks, plus another. I'll have to go home and look at the back of it - you have me curious.

Have been looking for one like this for a while. Mays seldom used pine tar early in his career, but in there 60's he his bats usually had a strong application. This bat has some excellent use as well as Mays' number on the knob and deadwood as well.

Once you start down the boxing path, forever will it dominate your collecting. Do not underestimate the powers of the Boxing Side.

I was lucky enough to find this 1939 Bally's "FIFTH INNING" pinball machine last week...lucky in that it is 100% original, it is working, and the coin box was filled with $3.00 of nickels! Just showing the backglass and the playfield here (I removed the bottom glass for the photo). I'll post a picture of the entire machine after I reinforce the wooden legs.

perezfan · #13 09-23-2012, 03:27 PM

That machine is just fantastic! I just love the graphics... such artistry and charm, when compared to anything being made today. Wonderful acquisition!

I was fortunate to pick up the Petitto Bust prototype I really wanted from ITPC (Babe Ruth). I had bids on the others, but this is the one I was most focused on...

How about the others? Did anyone here pick up the Stephens, Williams, Stanky, or Dark Statues? Seemed like a pretty rare opportunity, as these never turn up...

kdixon · #14 09-23-2012, 04:23 PM

Love the pinball machine.

Wow, WoW, and WOW! Jeez Fred, your Hartland collection is simply phenomenal. Sure would love to see close ups of all your stuff in the background of your scans. Also, the Wagner sketches are superb, and the original clay model of Hans is stunning!

And Mark. That Baseball memorabilia collector lurking in my head kept egging me on to go after that terrific Ruth piece. My dog thought there was someone else in the room, as she kept looking for who I was talking to. No kidding. But as you know, I traded in my Baseball Memorabilia for the Beatles, but I still get itchy palms once or twice a week. A very nice pick up Buddy!

And to my dear Pal Rick... your impeccable eye and extremely good taste, never disappoint. You should charge admission every time you host a Holiday Party.

BTW Rick, when you said "I was lucky enough to find this 1939 Bally's "FIFTH INNING" pinball machine" It is my humble opinion that luck had a very small part in that respect. OMT... Rick. Do you have a change machine in your game room, or do I need to bring a boatload of coins?
