Easily the ugliest piece in my collection, but one of my faves: Lou Brissie's protective leg cover when he pitched in the majors. For those of you who don't know his amazing story, he nearly got his leg blown off in WWII, yet came back to pitch in the majors with his leg MacGyvered back together.

Love the stuff guys!
Mike, that fob is killer! Haven't seen that one before.

Here are a few pickups from the last little while....
The first is just a generic 1910 era cabinet, but I had to have it.
If you notice, his jersey says "Norwood", which is the area in Winnipeg that my mother spent a good part of her youth in during the 1950s. Norwood also borders St Boniface, which my family had lived in since 1880.

The second piece is a baseball trophy awarded to Stuart Sheppard for the highest individual fielding average for 1918 in the WABA.

The next item is hockey related, as anyone who know me is aware I mostly collect antique hockey. It's a cabinet photo from 1907 that shows a player wearing a hockey pin, one that I think originates from a rare series issued in 1904, of which I have a pair. Two other are known (I'm trying to make a deal for one of them) with the other selling at auction years ago. The pins are dated '04 on the reverse, and my question is, is it the same type of pin?? You can even see the end of the protruding pinback in the photo... What do you think? I'd love to hear the opinion of others...

Carlton, I always love your pick up posts and photos. It makes me feel like I'm at the flea market with you.

Mike, I too have never seen that score fob before, great pick up!
