Glad someone here won that. I was watching it and planned on putting down a serious bid (quite a bit higher than it sold for), but mistook when the auction ended and totally missed bidding. Very cool piece! |

![]() Curious, did you/have you ever heard back from RMY about your Gibson photo? If not, I hope you do soon or eventually as I am sure you are hanging in limbo. I know I would be. Good luck.

That is really cool Bob. Any idea of the year it was made or if there was a particular reason it was made?

Connie Mack just loved the elephant logo of his Philadelphia Athletics, as can be seen by this cast iron white elephant made to commemorate the 1911 World Series win by the A's and given away to guests at a celebratory dinner held later that year. The elephant is approximately 3" tall and is standing on a black cast iron base that measures approximately 1" tall and depicts a small baseball diamond on the top. There is engraved writing on all four sides of the base. The front reads, "Athletics, Champions of the World 1911" while the back says, "Dinner, Hotel Astor, New York, December 12, 1911". One side of the base says, "American Base Ball Club of Philadelphia" while the other says, "Baseball Writers Association of America". The trunk and the tusks are very prone to breaking as well as the white paint chipping Thank you all! Last edited by bobfreedman; 03-22-2018 at 03:40 PM. |

I always liked "The Gibson Mitt". I lucked into this Rawlings Gibson mitt with the snap button heel before it became the "Professional Model". Only one I have seen like this.

Nice glove Mike. Good to know there is another one out there. Which years featured the buckled heel?

That's a good question. The Gibson mitt design was patented in 1913 and the snap button heel in 1912. There is an illustration in a 1913 catalog of the original Gibson mitt like yours with no snap heel. Unfortunately I haven't found Rawlings catalog images from 1914 to 1923 on the website:
www.baseballglovecollector.com. Joe Phillips new Rawlings Catalog Source Book lists the original Gibson mitt along side the snap heel Professional model in a 1922 catalog. I would speculate that the Gibson mitt with snap button heel was introduced between 1914 and 1921. I hope to find a catalog illustration some day. |

I just picked up this original team photo of the 1940 World Series Champion Cincinnati Reds featuring Vandy and Ernie Lombardi.
Neat photo, great price on eBay! Last edited by Scott Garner; 03-21-2018 at 05:59 AM. |
