Re: Your Favorites

I didn't want to leave anyone out. Mike that Piper bat is pretty cool, and Martin that Walter Johnson stuff is incredible. Slidekellyslide your picture doesn't show up for me but I'm sure it's neat as well. Joe, I've only seen one other plaid jersey and it's in a museum.

I'll try and post some more things later, what else does anyone have that is neat, pictures if you can. Clint.

Re: Your Favorites

Dan, thanks for the link that is a great photo. I'd kill to have one of those hats(Collin's, not Mack's). Your collection looks great as well. Here is one of my favorite photos, can anybody guess who the player on the right is?

Re: Your Favorites

Don't know who the player is, but that's a great photo. It's photos like that one that showcase the carnival like atmosphere that surrounded baseball at the time.

Re: Your Favorites

All great stuff guys ! Here is a recent addition, Winchester Baseball Jersey and Pants. Found a Winchester glove and a generic bat (until I find a Winchester Bat) and placed in a shadow box I bought at a flea market. I think it has a great look.

Re: Your Favorites

Bill, super rare Winchester jersey. Again the only one I've seen was in a museum. Great find!

Looks a lot like Joe. Is it really him and which team is he with? The bear is awesome.

Re: Your Favorites

I wish it were Joe, but it isn't. The team is Price,Utah and this guy played with Babe Ruth in Boston and New York. Too bad he didn't play with the Cubs.

Bill - I have never seen a Winchester uniform. Very Cool! And really neat shadow box...you should put a ball in there too.

If it wasn't obvious, uniforms are my thing , and I like to keep records off all the manufacturers tagging. Would you mind posting a pic of the Winchester tag? Txs!

Re: Your Favorites

Here is a shot of the tag. Got this beauty along with two other uniforms from the same person. Got a neat Cubs and a HUBLEY uni probably from the 1940s era. vintagesportscollector - as always I love viewing your site. Great collection !

Re: Your Favorites

I too would like to see that Cobb bat...

Clint - Thanks. The plaid W&D is definetly one of my favorites.

I have some pics but the size is just over 500! trying to reduce them....

Its quite the bat. If you remember Ty Cobb was quoted and also proved by photos, that he had a separted grip as well as choked up a little on the bat itself...well on this bat, you can see how he taped it starting a little from the bottom of the bat about 10 inches up.. also in the typical style he taped his bats...

The tape itself has worn off/been removed, but you can see the stronger depressions from where he held it in each hand...and where the gap is where his hand(s) wasnt...

Clint,
Nice 34' Cardinals pin! Is it available for sale or trade? Here's the pinback that I'd have to say is my favorite...

Re: Your Favorites

Stunning pin! I've really gotten into pinbacks over the past year. I think they are under appreciated as a collectible both in terms of aesthetics and value.
