Lot 296.  Group of 8 remarkable photographs from the opening month of Ebbets Field in 1913 including Casey Stengel and Zach Wheat. The photos measure about 4 1/2" x 3". According to the writing on the back, they were taken on April 7 (Daubert), May13 (Cutshaw, Hummel), May 15 (Smith, Stengel), May 16 (Miller). The photos of Wheat and Rucker are undated. It’s interesting to note the pictures have almost all different parts of the ballpark in the background. Ex-mt.
Minimum Bid $1,500.


Lot 297.  Van Oeyen photograph of Wilbert Robinson. The 6 5/8” x 4 ¾” photo by the famous photographer shows Robinson when he was McGraw’s pitching coach (1906-1913). The back of the photo, has “Robinson, Giants” written in pen.
Minimum Bid $200.


Lot 298.  Group of 13 players from the Washington Senators in Spring Training in 1907. All of the photos were real photo postcards, taken in 1907 at Spring Training in 1907 in Galveston Texas which have been cut down and pasted in an album. I believe the pictures were owned by Jerry Edinger who was the trainer. They were originally from Buck Barker's estate with his player post cards. The first picture shows (r-l) Edinger, Lave Cross, Cantillio, Chas Jones (who I assume was an umpire) as indicated on the back. The others, except the A's team, are identified on the postcard or the black construction paper they were glued. The postcard back is visible on 7 of them. Photos of all cards are on our web site.
Minimum Bid $1,000.


Lot 299.  Fascinating George Burke original photo from 1930 showing reunion of over 50 former players taken on September 8, 1930 at Braves Field. The 4” x 6” photo has a typed key on the back of the card identifying all the players on the rear who include Ty Cobb, Cy Young, Billy Hamilton, E. Collins, J. Collins, Evers, Clarke, Speaker, Hooper, Baker, Bender, etc. Excellent.
Winning Bid $220.
