Excellent Gary, great find.

Am real excited to have this one. A local team from Charles City Iowa giving their first baseman a GLOWING EMPLOYER REFERENCE after their team has to dissolve 1880. Signed by club manager and President.

Ps if someone can spin the photo around I’d appreciate it!

So I just got this back from my friend, artist Gregg Packer. I had seen some real nice art gloves done by Sean Keane around. He does great work but they are fairly pricey. I had in mind what I wanted and Gregg managed to hit it out of the park for me. Hope you like it also...

So this bat was in found in a wall in a house which was built in 1919 and was remodeled about 25 years ago or so...don't really know how it got there but I am happy to add it to my collection....It is a YMCA model and has a hand turned knob...probably dates from either 1917 or 1918..

That is terrific. It's a Joe Jackson model that survived the Great War. Does it match any of his identified bats' length and weight?

Really cool artwork on the Teddy Ballgame glove. Congrats!

Thanks Mark. The bat is a little lighter than it probably should be maybe just from it being over 100 years old. Here is a picture of the knob end which I like very much...

Very nice! Gregg Packer created an art ball for me a few years ago and it came out great at a reasonable price. I didn't know he did gloves as well.
