Looks to be a 50's Oriole mug to me. If I were to guess I'd go with 1956, but I'm not real sure. I know I have a pin and pennant with the same Oriole bird, but don't have that particular mug. Looks real nice! Does it have any stamping on the bottom of the mug?

Hello, I am traveling and will check the bottom when I get home. I am just pulling pics from my phone to post. Great thread.

John,

Sounds good. Looking forward to hearing/seeing more of your collection.

Day 30 (January 30, 2020 – 030)

Brooks’ professional career started with a minor league team the York White Roses in 1955. York is in Pennsylvania and the White Roses were in the Piedmont League during the time Brooks was playing. I really only have one thing from this team and that’s a small PM10 pin of the White Roses. Alan (BaltOrioles) posted a great looking White Roses program on post #6.

York had the first bronze statue of Brooks, designed by sculptor Lorann Jacobs, and was installed in Brooks Robinson Plaza in 2008. The Plaza was right outside the York Revolution Santander Stadium, the minor league stadium name at the time, and shows Brooks in a White Roses uniform signing an autograph for two young children. The York Revolution put out a figure during the time frame of the statue of Brooks and he’s shown signing a baseball.

Today, I offer up some drawings I know a little about, but would be interested if those from the Baltimore area know more about them.

I have five drawings of Orioles players from 1978-79 done by artist Bob Leffler. I know there are more out there, but don't have any kind of checklist. In one of the Orioles 1978 programs is an ad for his art. It looks like the ad is for original color drawings. Mine are not original drawings, but look to be produced for resale. They are B&W, dated and on regular 8 1/2" x 11" paper.

Anyone with more info, a checklist or have any for sale, let me know.

Mark,

I've seen the pin before, but always passed since I wasn't sure if it was from 1954-55, when the Roses were affiliated with the Orioles.

It does look 1950's. Do you know if it can be traced to a certain year or just a span of years?

The 1954 White Roses program to go with the 1955 previously posted.
