Favorite Companion Pieces

[WillowGrove]

I enjoy saying jokingly yet seriously...I do like a good companion piece; so thanks for starting this thread.

Paul C, I have never seen a glass like that, have you seen others? Chris, Ken Raffensberger would be a millionaire many times over today.

For me I always enjoyed JuJu Drums and when i had the chance to pick up this package they came in, I had to go for it. I think one of two known. (Such an odd, rare issue).

I don't know which is a companion to which, but these all go together. The microphone is supposedly the one used by Day in her pre-game show. The banner supposedly hung in the dugout and is about 4' x 6'.

Thanks Mark and Gary.
Peter, the beer glass with the circa 1888 NY Giants player is the only one I've ever seen. It would be interesting to know if it's part of a set with different player poses, or if it's just a standalone piece.

no doubt about that... please educate me some more about what ju-ju drums were and their relationship to baseball?

Rob, Chris and fellow memorabilia guys...sorry, I forgot I was posting on this side! Didnt mean to drop some rare card stuff and run away.

JuJu Drums were round gum like Colgan’s Chips (very popular round gum that also came with a "card"). However JuJu Drums are very rare. Or at least super scarce. And they're such an odd issue because many of the players on cards had barely played in the majors or, the stars who do appear in the set are images we dont see elsewhere. So its really an oddball issue. Only made for one year 1910.

Very good, then! So, how big is the container? Did it hold bunches of “chips”?
