April pick ups
Well, I attended the first antique show of the year last weekend and had some success. I found a very nice Nokona Bill Hunter which I understand is quite rare. It has two fingerlock loops on the back of the fingers and very heavy piping and a smooth lining ($30). Next I came across a Reach official league ball with a lot of light fountain pen signatures. I need to look more closely at the signatures, but Lou Boudreau is definately there. This was actually in a baby buggy with a pony league ball ($3). My next find was a pair of bats which included an absolutely beautiful 35" H&B Burnt Oil finish bat with great lathe marks patina, and a Lee May 35" model 125 ($90 for the pair). There were a number of other lower end items available and a few waaaay overpriced nice gloves and a trophy. Overall and nice day.

Thanks Dan. I am amazed by the condition also. Considering the age, it has seen little use.

Hi All. I have been a bit removed from the collecting world lately. Been so crazy with work and family. But I've got a some more free time now, and am doing some catch up. I haven't visited this forum in a while, but great to see some lively discussion...so I'll think I'll catch up on some threads.
Mike- Great Bat. I especially like that a lot too! Congrats!!

Re: April pick ups
Turns out the ball is the 1939 Cleveland Indians!! Two Feller sigs, and many others. It's pretty rough, but for $3.00 I'll take it.
