Show your Odds & Ends...

and with hundreds of new board members since then, I figure there must be a lot more oddball things out there...


Just picked up this nifty 1962 Topps 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 Match Print Photo of Stan Musial from the Topps Vault.

Neat stuff guys. Below is a few things.

Beautiful stuff, BBSD! I am really taken by that 49er Mascot (shooting the gun). That was a very short-lived mascot that appeared on one pennant I have. I want to say it's from 1965 or '66.

Can you explain exactly what that piece is, and where it came from? I have never seen another.... thanks!

I could be wrong but my view is that this mascot dates from the earliest days of the 49ers. Certainly, he appears on the front cover of 49-er programs from 1946 and 1947 that I have.

Not sure if he made a re-appearance in later years.

Uilda you are correct, the 49ers were in the All America Football Conference for all its 4 years 1946-49
and then joined the NFL for the 1950 season and throughout, they used the same mascot, the shootin' Prospector
Not sure when they stopped using him, but he did start in their inaugural season of '46

Wow... that is awesome! I wish they could resurrect just half of that creativity and artistry shown on these old prorams and logos. Today's stuff is so generic and bland.

Here's the pennant I referenced, which shows that the 49ers carried this mascot through into the mid- 1960s. Maybe he just re-surfaced for a short time. Either way, it's a great image (and amazing cover art on that program!)

I picked this up last week in a former NFL player's scrapbook...I posted it on the autograph side for opinions, but since it's not a Jeter/Mantle/Williams/Ruth nobody has an opinion.

Damn! That Giants coffee cup, saucer, and creamer are just awesome! And of course the companion piece sugar packet rules!

What's the story on them?

Best, Jimmy

Thanks guys, pretty new to the board. To say the least it has been real cool to see all that's out there and all the sharing on the site. Easy to get lost with all the interesting info you guys bring to the table. I had never seen the metal 49'ers mascot either, probably came from Kezar Stadium and was originally attached to some sort of advertising board, but anybody guess is as good as mine. If anybody else has any insight please share. Story goes that this and several other 49ers related items I purchased were found at an estate sale in SF from the family of one of the 49ers team trainers during the 50's and 60's. The SF Giants set was from the Stadium Club.

Hey Jimmy, Meant to add that your Clemente shoes really caught my eye, just way cool. I dig the style and color. I'd be really torn to wear them or just keep them pristine. If you had to 2 pair no brainer, unless their worth some serious dough and Perez you should have your own museum, you've got some real unique top notch stuff. Again thanks to everyone for sharing.

Another oddball piece...

Let's see any and all of your odds & ends!

Here was a leather garment bag that was a gift to Joe D. from the Yankees for their then upcoming Old Timers Game of July 29 1978. Like with many gifts that were bestowed upon Joe throughout his lifetime, he simply stashed them away, never to see the light of day again (Thank God!).

Take note of the Yankee Pinstripes that adorn the lining of the bag. It also came with the matching sundries box. Both of which were a real nice touch, that had George's name written all over it...
