I couldn't see anything which identified the player.

Can't let this magnificent thread die, as I have been wanting to contribute forever. 3 straight weeks of business travel are finally behind me, so lots of images are on the way...

Here's more...

* 1929 Athletics World Champions Lamp (just acquired!)
* A terrific 1911 Panorama Composite of Connie Mack's A's
* The Chein Bank, which is always found in dreadful condition (it took me over 6 years to find one that was free of dents and abraisions)

Still more (perhaps my favorite A's item...) This White Elephant Statue was given to attendees of a 1911 Banquet in conjuction the Athletics and the BBWAA. The ceremony was held to celebrate the Athletics World's Championship of 1911.

The White Elephant Statue is accompanied by an exceedingly rare original invitation to the event, addressed to a Mr. Malcolm McLean. The invitation is printed on thick cardboard stock, with a gorgeous White Elephant Gold Seal embossed at the top...

Man oh Man Mark ! Talk about jaw-dropping pieces. Just fantastic, especially the lamp!

Thanks so much for posting. Best, Jimmy

Boy, Mark, I have to agree with Jimmy...that's some incredible stuff! That 1911 Elephant is simply phenomenal.
