I've seen a number of these silver presentation bats but don't recall any as nice as this. The engraved illustration of Anson really makes it. Your average bear won't be getting involved at this price range, but it's fun to watch, reserved for the heavy hitters. return LOT # 280 Early folk art "Athletics" Baseball Sign  -   I wouldn't say it's stunning, but it's good, and that's saying a lot! Good 19th-early 20th century- baseball folk art is almost non existent, it's so rarely offered. It's one of the best baseball folk art pieces I've see on the market in 20 years  return LOT # 509 c1891 John Rogers Football Statue One of the best and most important football statues. John Rogers' sons who played football for Yale posed for it. return LOT #600 c1881 Earliest Lawn Tennis Sheet Music. I've never seen or heard of tennis sheet music this early, super rare, got the look return LOT # 523 1930's Army vs. Navy Football Pinball Game - Never seen before, great graphics return LOT # 513 12" tall x 11" wide x 11" deep, plaster football player statue titled: "The American Idol" - Very unusual and very well done, by an obscure sculptor named William C. Both from Chicago return LOT # 275 c1880 13" Bisque Heubach Baseball Batter Statue - These come in a larger version, this is the 13" tall. If you're into porcelain these are the classic Victorian baseball statues to own. return LOT # 92 V. rare c1920 Babe Ruth Studio Photograph - This is almost stunning, it's so great, never seen another. Probably the best Ruth photo I've seen. return LOTS # 466, 453, 460 Three boxing site posters - You have to understand boxing posters to appreciate these. There are fight movie posters that look like site posters, then there are the ultra rare actual site posters that were issued by the promoter and posted within traveling vicinity of the fight. The Dempsey Gibbons one is probably the most exciting, since there are stories about the fight, and it's Dempsey in his prime. Whereas the Johnson is post prime and clearly a for profit, milk the fame kind of bout. return End of Preview
