December Pick Ups

Thanks guys and sorry to disappoint you Mark

The backstory to the piece is just as amazing as the piece itself! Descendants enter a room that hasnt been accessed in at least 20 years to find exactly what the attached pic shows. Looks like literal mountain of junk piled to the ceiling! Water damaged walls and ceiling. In the second photo you can see the sign being "unearthed" against a back wall Once everything had been removed from the room it was found that the floor had rotted to dirt over the years!!
Amazing that it survived
Amazing that it was found
Anyone who doesnt believe there is still good stuff out there yet to be discovered, believe it

I don't think so. He' died.

Hank, It is called a bf104. I think they are listed in the Standard Catalog. Origin unknown. Maybe 25 in the check list. Late 30s. Cloth, Very scarce but fun to collect.

First I've ever seen, I believe, and incredibly cool. Any idea as to method of distribution? Whoever designed those had definitely seen a B-18!

That was his father

Oh sorry, I did not know that.

Very sorry.

Finally was able to buy a “holy grail” piece, I had been eyeing for years. A 1930’s quilt made from the basketball jerseys of two brothers. They lived in Steubenville, Ohio with the last name Masserley. The quilt is about 6 feet long and five feet wide. I know NOTHING about quilting but have always wanted a vintage jerseys quilt. Came with some photos, one or two with the boys wearing the jerseys. I just dig Americana folk art. Something pure about it. Thanks for viewing.

He definitely left me the collecting gene

Great stuff, guys. I particularly love the Federal League Passes.
