THE "TWO STRIKES"

HARVARD vs. PENNSYLVANIA

BATTER & CATCHER VIENNA BASEBALL BRONZE

After twenty two years another finally surfaced

By Carlton Hendricks

 

 

wenty two years ago I saw one of these Vienna baseball bronzes that you can read about in this link. I couldn’t afford that one and I had been on the lookout for another ever since. Recently a collector I’ve known a while who only collects University of Pennsylvania items wanted three things from my collection and I traded them for this Vienna. I gave up my Leyendecker U. Penn football poster, a big porcelain U. Penn football lamp (the collector had a matching lamp so now he has a pair), and a 12” plaster figure of a U. Penn football player (which I most hated to give up of the three)…I gave it a lot of thought since it’s so worn. I consulted two collector friends who gave the thumbs up.

On the one hand yes it’s worn and beat up…but on the other hand…you’re 300% sure it’s original from the wear. And speaking of the wear…it would have to be the most mysterious statue I’ve ever dealt with. Reason being…how could it have gotten that worn…And the arm is cracked…hey It’s bronze...I don’t think I’ve ever heard of bronze cracking…and besides that how could it have gotten cracked downward the way it is…Bronze is extremely strong stuff…And then there’s the base…How in the world could the paint have gotten that much wear and yet the red marble base is essentially perfect!....puzzling and a mystery. To me it looks like it has been clanging around in a toy box full of toys for about three generations...Like there parents let them play with it as a toy...Another thing I'll mention is the catchers mask is missing. You'll see the featured one has the mask...They were so finely crafted you could remove them!

 

6 1890 U. Penn Batter Harvard Catcher 6.5 in tall (5).jpg (112105 bytes)


But being I already had three other Vienna sports bronzes it fit in perfectly with them…a billiards one…two joined boxers…and a group of three soccer players going for the ball…I found that soccer one at the Hillsborough Antiques show about 20 years ago and had to throw down some very serious money to get it…The lady was an experienced antiques dealer from the east coast and knew what she had!…Out of the zillions of Vienna bronzes produced during the late 19th century to the late 1930’s very few sports ones were made.

In all the years I’ve known of the one I did the feature on…I never stopped to think about the P on the batters cap…And there’s an H on the catchers, (cap worn backwards). I understand that under the bronze base of mine, the words “Harvard and Pennsylvania” is written. I hate to disturb it though so haven’t looked. To add more to the mystery...Because the other one I featured also had the same P on the cap...I would speculate that perhaps some well heeled parent of a Harvard or Penn student had them made special order...

Auction House Description:
Exceedingly scarce antique cast metal baseball player statue titled "Two Strikes" showing a batter and a catcher. Circa 1890s. Much of the original paint remains, including the letter P on the batter and the letter H on the catcher. When metal statue was removed from base the words "Harvard and Pennsylvania" were found written under the metal baseplate, indicating that the players depict a game between University of Pennsylvania Quakers and Harvard Crimson, both Ivy League schools. Good condition with original base plaque and minor damage to the bat. Measures 6 1/2" tall.


Another interesting tid-bit is one day I was thumbing thru a book on Victorian Interiors...and guess what I spotted in a c1905 photo...see at very bottom this post...

THE CHRIS-CRAFT

FACTORY PHOTO BOOK

By Carlton Hendricks

 

lassic power boating racing memorabila is one of the toughest to find of sports display antiques...And for being a rather obscure area of collecting...typically when you do finally find it, it's remarkably pricey! Because it's so rare, the greater it is the more important it is to bite the bullet and get it....Which brings us to this week's feature...a c1930 Chris-Craft factory sales book that was given to dealers...or in this case a potential dealer. It all began about a month ago. WoodyBoater.com's did a feature on the one you see here...Essentialy Matt their Editor-in-Chief outed it on eBay...Which thing I usually hate to see...However...I'd have never seen it had I not read about it on WoodyBoater.com...

Erastus Flavel Beadle 1821-1894 was born in ErastusBeadle3.jpg (685593 bytes) Oswego County, New York. He began a long career in publishing periodicals in Buffalo N.Y.. His brother Irwin partnered with him at times until Irwin sold his interest to Robert Adams. Erastus and company moved to New York City in 1858 where he continued his publishing empire. There he published numerous magazines on such varied subjects as cooking, etiquette, romance, and ShawneeScout.jpg (83941 bytes)speeches. Frontiersman, wild west, and other manly pursuits were a mainstay. During this stage of seeing what worked and what the public wanted he began a format called the Dime Novel. The term dime novel came to be used as the catch phrase for all modest priced pulp fiction booklets. His publishing business was very successful specializing in subjects that appealed to the common man. In 1861 he started a yearly series called the "Beadle's Dime Base-Ball Player" to capitalize on the new up and coming sport. Henry Chadwick was hired as the editor and the series ran until 1881. It is considered the first baseball guide.

I_Block_Chrome Y.png (802 bytes)spotted this c1894 bulldog trophy at the 2012 Hillsborough Antiques Show in San Mateo CA. The dealer was asking $1,500.00. I ended up buying a rare c1890 Bicycle Humidor at the same show for $1,000.00 so couldn't afford it. But it haunted me afterwards. Later I emailed the dealer and said I'd buy it for the $1,500.00 if she still had it at the next Hillsborough Show...When I saw her at the next show she said it sold to a judge at another show in Fresno.

 

The bulldog originated in England in the 1500's and were bred for the sport of "bull baiting". Bull baiting was outlawed in England in the early 1800's by passage of the Cruelty to Animals Act 1835. The first Bulldog show put on by the South London Bulldog Club at the Royal Aquarium Westminster was in 1873. 

 

Poking around the internet I located some published references to the show, seen below. Also below, I was also able to locate a biography of the sculptor of this trophy, a Mr. Richard Hewitt Moore. I also found an 1895 reference to a bulldog sired by Smartt's Punch, named "Baron Killarney" whelped (born) Sept. 28th 1893, that was brought to the United States. A person named E.K. Austin of New York City was listed as the owner breeder in the 1896 American Kennel Club Stud Book, Volume 12

Sculptor of Trophy:

Richard Hewitt Moore (R H Moore) was from Northleach in Oxfordshire and on leaving school he apprenticed as a wood engraver but eventually gave up this medium feeling the technique too confining.


He took up drawing as a profession, studying the figure and portraiture, then moving on to animal studies before almost exclusively devoting himself to dogs.


In common with the likes of Arthur Wardle, Cecil Aldin, Louis Wain and others, Moore’s early years as a commercial artist were spent recording scenes at dog shows, livestock shows and country pursuits for such publications as The Stock-Keeper, Sporting and Dramatic News and The Illustrated London News.


He illustrated numerous books, including C H Lane’s All About Dogs published in 1900. 
The 87 illustrations of the celebrated champions of the time are the most complete source for Moore’s illustrative work.


Moore was also an accomplished sculptor who specialised in trophies. The Great Dane Club has a challenge trophy with a bronze cropped Great Dane mounted standing on the plinth and the English Setter Club a particularly impressive group that was awarded for best brace at a trial. This features a Setter and Pointer in naturalistic pose, cast in silver and made by the Goldsmiths and Silversmiths Company in 1896. 

 


Possibly the most impressive trophy he sculpted depicted the final of the 1890 Waterloo Cup, Fullerton beating N Dunn’s Downpour, see above

I picked up this tobacco pouch out of a large collection of rare tobacco packs that Hunt Auctions had in their February 2012 monthly auction. The packs were of great interest to baseball card collectors because the cigarette companies issued baseball cards (and non baseball cards) and many of the packs are very hard to find. I was a little surprised Hunt offered them in their monthly auction as opposed to one of their Live Auctions. It was the largest cigarette pack collections I'd ever seen.

 in Stockton. I had just gotten into collecting sports antiques and it was all very new. I barely knew anything about Stagg but the medals were modestly priced so I bought them. I got an an eyeful when I researched Stagg. I learned he had been a star football and baseball player at Yale from 1884 to 1889. After graduating from Yale he gained national recognition as head football coach at University of Chicago and later at University of the Pacific in Stockton. Like I say I didn't know much back then but I did know football started in the east and vagually knew Yale was prominent in it's history...and then I started connecting the dots......So the Stagg family had some medals...what else did they have I thought...I called information for Stockton and asked for any listings named Stagg...I called a number and an older sounding gentlman answered...I'm looking for the family of Amos Alonzo Stagg I said....Yes I'm Paul Stagg, Amos Alonzo Stagg was my father the man said, how can I help you....My name's Carlton Hendricks and I bought some medals I was told were your fathers I said...and I was wondering if you could look at them to confirm they were your dad's I said....Well I probably wouldn't recognize them he had so much stuff but I'd be happy to look at them....OK I said and we set a time for me to come to his home...You wouldn't happen to have any old football cleats your dad wore would you I asked...he chuckled, no he said, but I'll look around if I still have anything of his...BINGO...I got to his home and it was just a modest home in a nice shady neighborhood...very average but nice and pleasant...He met me at the door and kind of looked me over for a second then said OK come on in the kitchen...as I came in the front door there was a vintage photo of his dad right as you enter that looked like he was power walking....So we sat down at one of those 1950's chrome and formica dinning tables that had a box sitting on it....I think his wife was puttering around the kitchen. I showed him the medals but he didn't recognize them...Then he started going thru the box pulling stuff out one at at time and looking over each item....you can have this he'd say and hand me some medal or box and such...but I better keep this he'd say...and that went on for a little while until I saw a photo of what looked like some absolutly incredible bookends, each was a circa 1920's football player pushing the book, big and bold like nothing I'd even imagined....Even at that early stage in my collecting my eyebrows went up...and I looked at him...wow those are incredible I said...and without saying anything he gets up and says..follow me....and he walked me down the hallway to a bedroom and opened the door...and there on top of an antique wood dresser were the bookends....I was in his house and he was being exceptionaly nice to me so there was no way to try to buy them right then and there...I just expressed how much I liked them and we walked back to the kitchen...but I just could help at least hinting so I very nicely said...ya know if you ever did want to sell those I'd certainly be interested I said...and I remember he kind of chuckled and jested...well you know if I sold those I might forget my dad was a football coach....and I of course chuckled back and I left for home a little latter

 

had one of the most distiguished coaching careers

 

so I bought them

 

and a dealer had some medals he  I was a newbie collector, and had probably been collecting about six. As matter fact I bought my first dog ear  leather football helmet at that very show. So the medals were reasonably priced and I bought them. I had heard of Amos Alonzo Stagg, and the dealer told me he had coached at University of the Pacific in Stockton but that was about all I knew. Later I went to my local library to research Stagg. I got an an eyeful. I learned he had been a star football and baseball player at Yale from 1884 to 1889. After graduating from Yale he had one of the most distiguished coaching careers

 

bought some sports medals at an antiques show in Sacramento California. The dealer said they had come from the family of Amos Alonzo Stagg in Stockton.

 

 

The finish appeared oxidized....which brings us to the subject of conservation. 

 

First of all we're talking about silver....the medium of which there is no right answer. When you polish silver or silver plate trophies you rub the silver away, which can deplete the definition of engraving and eventually wear away the enhancements that make the work special. If you don't polish, the work slowly becomes unsightly from oxidation....You've heard of a win win situation?...Well silver's a lose lose. The best you can do is slow down oxidation by limiting exposure to air. You can varnish silver which seals it but that's tricky....and is akin to sealing it in a Lucite cube...But this isn't the  place to get into a lengthy PICT1423_1200x900.jpg (137061 bytes) discussion of silver conservation...so I'll cut to the chase...The double glass doors to the display cases which hold the silver or silver plate trophies in the Lee Family Hall of Athletic History have about 1/2 inch gaps between them when closed, which allows air and air particle transfer to the trophies. The doors should seal to prevent that. The saving grace is deterioration is a slow process and Lee Hall visitors should be able to enjoy the trophies for many decades.....it's the future generations that would be subject to conservation breaches. Nationally recognized silver authority Judy Redfield is an acquaintance who happens to be a Harvard alum. I'm sure she would find this interesting.

Does the remarkable resemblance lead you to think the designer of our flask copied or was inspired, or influenced by this print and used it as a model? Well, when I began writing this I felt certain that was the case. However, after I thought I'd finished this story and had posted it, I went to add some more information and stumbled onto something that made it impossible.

 

There is one very weighty caveat to the relationship between our flask and the Knapp lithograph. That is; there could not have been one. Yes you read that correctly...there could not have been any direct relationship between our flask and the "Foot Ball" lithograph produced by the Knapp Lithographic concern

 

I must add...it's enough to throw a fit over when I thought I had it all contained nice and neat and put to bed....According to the 1978 definitive book on the subject, "Tiffany Silver" by Charles H. Carpenter, the "M" within the markings on our flask stands for "Moore". Specifically Mr. Edward C. Moore who was head of Tiffany's silver division for more than twenty three years, from  May 1st 1868 until his death August 24th 1891

....There was always some wandering musician who played, or a boot-black who shone for five cents, or an influx of grads. up from New York, or the passing of a pretty girl, to create a diversion on the old fence. It was the center of the good-hearted, manly, democratic Yale.....

Pinch Hit Adv Sign Crop3.jpg (107961 bytes)

PINCH HIT TOBACCO 

ADVERTISING POSTER

 45 1/2" wide X 18 3/4" tall

Printed on Light Cardstock

Shot At 2003 National, Atlantic City

in Hunt Auctions booth

priced $2,500.00

 

I saw this at the 2003 National Sports Collectors Convention in  Atlantic City in the Hunt Auctions booth. I believe it's the only example I've seen as I can't recall another, making it pretty rare. Hunt sold it in their February 2004 auction, Lot 271, for $650.00. In the catalog description it says it was the only one they had seen. While preparing this feature I found a photo I had of an actual package of Pinch Hit, see below:
