In case anyone is interested, a very nice member told me he found the uncropped version of this image in the Corbis library dated May 10, 1935. He also seems to remember it being a Van Oeyen. In the larger version, it does appear to be taken in Cleveland so that would fit.

Ben,
Thanks very much for that confirmation.
It's always nice when you get an unexpected surprise.
Even without kids or Lou smiling, I am still pretty psyched about getting it!

Thanks,
Mark

Mark that is a beautiful Van Oeyen Gehrig. On a lesser note... I finally managed to pick up the black version of the 1971 Pirates scroll pennant and a 1960 Bucs eye patch with the original string. The pennant has a few flaws bit I'll take it. I have been looking to add each of these for quite awhile. It's funny how you look for items for a long period of time and suddenly they all appear at once. I'm fortunate to love odd bargain basement Pirate trinkets that require little competition

Love the Pirates pennant and patch!

Picked up two large frames caked in dirt at an estate sale this weekend. When I cleaned them up, I found beautiful wood underneath. Used them to house two of my favorite pennants.

Those look great in the frames. I didn't know that Mike King Kelly was the subject of that film until I googled it. Me and my post war brain need to get out more

Great stuff!! I love the "odd bargain basement trinkets" too......but I always seem to have competition . A friend and I constantly "cost each other money."
