February Pickup Thread-

[canjond]

I should also mention that I gave Greg a refund for the lock I sold to him as well. He ended up deciding to keep it, but for the exact price I paid for it.

Figured I would get these in on the Feb pickups before the calendar turns.

I just picked up these two pieces.

The first is a trophy baseball from an 1898 game between Lafayette and Lehigh colleges. I have wanted to pickup one of these for a while, and while I have about 30 trophy footballs of various eras, this is my first baseball.



This second piece is a neat little piece of ephemera relating to the Carlisle Indians. It is a 1900 pre-football game dance invitation at Harvard University, before the following days game with the Carlisle Indians. I picked this piece up in the Carlisle area, so my assumption is these were given to Carlisle Indian players. I dated it to the year 1900 because that was the only year that matched up with the following day, Harvard hosting Carlisle. The card is a little bigger than a CDV.

Great stuff Keith! I love that Carlisle invite...interesting that a dance would last from 9PM to 4AM. Those Ivy Leaguers sure liked to party!
