Hey guys,
Got this today. It's more for our (my dad and I) RI beer collection than my BoSox collection (but it's great to have stuff that overlaps...that's actually the way I got into Red Sox stuff).
It dates from c. 1950 based on the Narragnsett script. It's obviously some form of pencil (?) based on the eraser, probably for scorekeeping.
Here's the wierd part..... the silver end cap comes off to reveal an empty compartment. BUT...the cap is like the end of a bullet, it's completely closed. There's no way a piece of lead would go through it. I have no idea how it would work, or what it is exactly.
Anybody ever see something like this? Any ideas?
Yours in confusion...
Greg
