August pickup thread
Figure I would start a little early this month.. Picked up this nice vintage crossover Baseball Pinball game from a small antique shop here in NC. Neat game called the Sharps Shooter Baseball Bagatelle. Usually is missing the metal spinner at the top... Great vintage look... Measures 22 1/2 by 12 1/2 Dont collect many games but this caught my eye!

This might not be a rare item, or have much value from a monetary stand point, but this little thrift store find holds a lot of nostalgic value for me.
When I was a young developing Cardinals fan I used to check out an earlier edition of this book from our local library at least once a month, I never grew tired of pouring over the history of my beloved Cardinals or seeing all the old amazing pictures the book contained. The author, Mr. Bob Broeg, had such an amazing amount of knowledge on the Cardinals as he grew up in St. Louis and after finishing up college (proud Missouri alum) and a stint in the Marine corp he was named Sports Editor of the St. Louis Post Dispatch in 1958. He continued to write for the paper into the mid 1980s. He wrote his very last column in 2004. He served as member of the Board Of Directors for the Baseball Hall Of Fame, along time member of the Committee of Baseball Veterans, was awarded the J.G Taylor Spink Award in 1979 & was elected to the National Sportscasters & Sportswriters Hall of Fame in 1997. The St. Louis Chapter of SABR is named for Bob Broeg. To say this man was a huge influence on my love of Cardinals baseball & baseball in general would be an understatement. What makes the book even more special to me is that Mr. Broeg has signed the inside cover. I also own a signed copy of his Stan Musial biography. Very happy to add this to my collection!

Found this round wooden American Tobacco Co box. Is this the same company that did the baseball cards or a different American Tobacco company? Thanks

Hi Mark. It is the whole team. It’s a real photo of the 1910 team. Here’s a better one of the supplement. Edit: actually it isn’t the whole team. It’s 15 players. Fred Clarke and Honus Wagner are both in the picture.  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

August pickup thread
I’ve recently picked up some random Cabinet photos because I just think the pictures can be so cool.
 A smaller cabinet. All appear to be in dress clothes. They are possibly at the base of a power line or oil rig.  On the back this one has written, “Green Bay 1917”. Love many things on this one. The big old stadium. The equipment. The guys with arms over each other’s shoulders. The little kid photo bombing while hanging onto the fence.  The back of this one says “Clarence Clendenin 2nd from left suit”. The flag and the pennant are great. I believe they are getting ready to hoist this new pennant up the pole just under Old Glory.

Just won this snapper. Awesome fantography shot of the Babe. I can just imagine the fan saying "Hey Babe" and Babe turns around...and the look on his face says a four letter word may have followed.
Love it!

Picked up these Gerrit Beneker 'Baseball Magazine' items in Leland's last night.
In addition to the March,1912 issue that goes with the Cobb cover, I'm looking for the May, 1911 that goes with one of my other Beneker paintings. If anyone is interested in trading, I have the Baseball Magazines that go with several of the Beneker paintings auctioned off last night: 4-1912,5-1912,7-1912,8-1912 I won the Cobb study, not the magazine (still looking for it). The 'Detroit Number' proof sheet never made it to a magazine cover. I recognize Jennings, Cobb and Crawford. I figure Mullin and Donovan are in there somewhere as well:

Today I've been cleaning this sweater I picked up a couple of weeks ago. Is there anyone else here who can't resist these? Currently drying, but it has dark blue cuffs and no letterman stripes on the sleeves.
Heading out to pick up another similar one in a moment (green and yellow).

1873 Peck and Snyder Encyclopedia
Picked up an early equipment catalogue, 1873 Peck and Snyder Encyclopedia with 20 colored engravings, many base ball related including some of players in specific team uniforms. I attached the Cincinnati Red Stocking one.
There are a few condition issues, including a missing leaf with a colored engraving of base ball hats. You can view the Library of Congress copy online at internet archive. However, anyone who wants a specific page or type of equipment pages sent to them, just sent me your email. If anyone has a copy of the catalogue I would greatly appreciate a copy my missing leaf. By the way I could find no mention of the Peck and Snyder team photos. My first attempt to post photos failed, but I will keep trying. Failed again so I will post this and keep trying with just the photos.

Finally 1873 a few 1873 Peck and Snyder photos
Just a few of the baseball ones, and a cricket one because it was the Wright’s club.
Reminder, if you would like to see any black and white equipment pages, I could email them to you or post them if enough interest.

I am fascinated by those early caps with the "star" at the crown/top.
You'd think that just one example might surface, but I have never seen a single one in 25+ years of collecting. Does anyone have an example they can post, or even just a link to an auction where one of these was featured? Not optimistic, but would love to see an actual one (instead of a picture of one) before I die.
