November pickups

Scott-There is a straw hat in the picture. Knickerbockers? Maybe you're on to something.

Not great, but circa 1865 CDV with equipment. Blank backed so I can't ID.

I recently picked up two neat early Vandy items to add to my collection. Both items are from the 1937-1939 era.

1) Extremely rare Johnny Vander Meer and Frank McCormick Huskies Cereal promotional postcard. It looks to have possibly been a Cincinnati regional promotion based on the info on the back of the postcard. Circa 1937-1938

2) Great Draper and Maynard advertising piece re: a D & M Johnny Vander Meer endorsed baseball circa 1938-1939. This page was removed from a Stollberg Hardware (Toledo, OH) catalog produced in the period. A great look at many vintage baseballs sold back in the day. Check out the baseball prices ranging from 10 cents to about $1.75 cents each depending on your budget... Vandy's ball went for 60 cents a throw....

What a deal!

Just picked up this extremely popular 1947 "I'M ROOTING FOR JACKIE ROBINSON" Dodgers Pin.

Great pinback Jimmy -- almost bid on that one, now I'm glad I didn't. But please stick to photos from now on!
I won the Joe Cronin from the same seller, but am not good at posting photos from ebay.

Jimmy,

I was vying for that pin as well. Glad to see you get it. I've seem a few hit eBay over the last month, and they are all pulling in a strong price.

Great pick up Jimmy. I've always loved that pin. What a statement that pin must have made during 1947 and the era of Jim Crow. I am in pursuit of the "I'm Rooting for Larry Doby" pennant and think my chances of ever acquiring it are slim to none, but one can dream.
