Thanks all, for the nice comments about the Cabinet.
@Dewey2007 - that's a sweet Robinson billboard. Quite the display piece. Congrats! Last edited by vintagesportscollector; 01-30-2017 at 06:36 AM. |

Yankee's Batting Helmet
The helmet, as a function of construction style (two hole), logo style, and marking information dates from c1958-1962. Thrilled that the NY logo is intact and that the helmet had "not become" a Berra, Ford, Mantle, or Maris helmet.

That's interesting Dave. So they actually put felt for the logo on a hard helmet, and not paint or a decal?

They sure did and not just the Yankees. This is easy enough to confirm in period images that capture the helmets from the side or from above. But these designs changed over time by team, along with other facets such as the number/location of vent holes in the crown of the helmet as well as information contained on the interior ABC sticker. When studied in some detail and considered in total, it does offer one the ability to establish some objective date ranges for the helmets.

Dave, what are the viewing times for your man-cave? Do you offer guided tours?

Ken,
The bulk of the items I post here get sent to MEARS for either display in the museum and or to add to the exemplar library. Current staffing levels at MEARS (South Milwaukee, WI) don't permit unfettered access to the museum/collection at this time. That being said, anyone wishing to see the collection and take the tour (we now have a self-paced guide that Robin Yount took and enjoyed this past weekend), should contact Troy Kinunen at MEARS to coordinate a time to come by. I get up there every couple of months to do museum work and or to look at uniforms at may not be practical or are cost prohibitive to ship to me for research and analysis. Dave Grob |

In any event, I love the old felt logos on helmets. |

I love the broadside, Dewey! If by "antique fair", Jim means the giant swap meet out in the boatyards.....I was lucky enough to get out there once. I didn't find a damn thing for my collection but it was fun. My Bay Area buddy and fellow Giants collector occassionally finds something there. You guys are lucky to have a good, recurring meet like that one.

Mick's last dinger
Psyched to add this one to the collection (second I've owned, but the 1st I've seen with "old timers day" stamped on it... Mick hit the last homer of his life during that game against former teammate and fellow hall of Famer whitey ford...

Love the Yankees '73 Old timers stub. Nice pickup.
I also collect Yankees tickets...slowly working on having examples from each year. I buy Opening Day, Old Timer's Day and last game of the year whenever I can. |

Picked up a Arthur Miller banner. I've always been a huge fan of Miller's work
