Movie/TV Memorabilia
Barbie Number Three (1960). One of the earliest versions of Barbie, this is a sought-after collector's item today! This one is "loose" with no original box but does come with her original black and white striped bathing suit. This doll has lightened in color a bit over the years. She has brown eyeliner, and she's got the "crayon" smell characteristic of the early versions. She's solid, not hollow like later versions, and unlike later versions, her ears have not turned green. She has her original hairstyle, though the original hairband is gone except for a couple of very tiny pieces. She has gently curved dark brows and red lipstick. Faint traces of her red nostril dots are present. Her nose is not "nipped." There are no cracks anywhere, but a small dent is missing from the back of her right arm. Her head does turn from side to side. Her "backside" has the number 115 and says "Barbie TM Pats. Pend.(c) MCMLVIII by Mattel Inc." A very significant item in American pop culture!

1946 Detroit Gems Team Signed Broadside--Became the Minnesota/Los Angeles Lakers! Had the National Basketball League franchise the Detroit Gems been anything other than simply awful in 1946, who knows how different the NBA would be today? Posting a miserable four and forty record the season this exceedingly scarce broadside was issued, the club was on the verge of extinction when Ben Berger and Morris Chalfen purchased the club for $15,000 and relocated it to Minnesota, renaming the franchise the "Lakers." The draft of 1947 would soon arrive, and the newly christened Lakers, by virtue of their last place finish in '46, were afforded the first overall pick. Their selection: George Mikan. And the rest, as they say, is history. So don't go looking for any stars among the thirteen 9/10 ink signatures that dot this historic exhibition game announcement--you won't find any. Frankly, that's the point. The broadside itself is the real "gem" here, the only one from this franchise known to exist, and just about the only piece of any kind related to the Detroit Gems surviving to this day. The cardstock poster measures 11x14" in size and is affixed to a scrapbook page by ancient staples. Some tack holes, light water staining and a chipped corner are apparent, but nothing can challenge the appeal or historical significance of this supreme rarity. LOA from PSA/DNA.

Baseball Collectibles
1969 N.L.C.S. Game Three Full Tickets Lot of 2 from the Casey Stengel Collection. Plenty of reasons to love this matched pair of tickets, never used and leaving seats one and two of Field Box 65, Row B unoccupied. First, they derive directly from the personal collection of original Mets manager Casey Stengel. Second, this was the very first year of the League Championship Series. And lastly, these tickets were for Game Three of a three-game sweep of the Atlanta Braves, meaning that they were issued for the day the New York Mets earned their first National League pennant. The tickets do show a degree of wear from storage, but nothing that detracts significantly from visual appeal, and certainly not from the incredible historical importance. A letter of provenance from the consignor will attest to the Stengel connection.

1936 Casey Stengel Testimonial Dinner Photograph & Program from the Casey Stengel Collection. The Baseball Writers of Brooklyn and New York bid farewell to Casey, whose tenure as skipper of the Brooklyn Dodgers came to an end only days before the event. Included in the lot is an oversized (9.5x17") photo of the gang on hand to wish Stengel the best, with Casey himself clearly visible at the back table. Mild corner creasing means a technical VG-EX, though the photo presents much better. The program offers some creasing and staining as well but is similarly presentable, with no noteworthy damage.

Collectors of the work of legendary Chicago baseball photographer George Burke are certain to swoon at this simply exceptional colorized image deriving from the personal collection of Stengel himself.

Minimal wear and aging to the white borders, though the image itself remains in unimprovable condition. Burke stamp on verso.

In my opinion a county is much better with than without the law even if but poorly enforced. But I would not say local option is the best solution of the liquor question. It is too 'local' & too 'optional' - the next legislature can change the option as has been done in several instances and let in the saloons again. Cecil County has had that experience several times. I am sure the best solution of the liquor question is Prohibition , State & National with a party behind it to enforce the law after it is made. I have worked along this line for 115 years and every additional year but reinforces that opinion...A few weeks ago I visited the Dispensary at Greensboro, N.C. the only one in Guilford Co. From what I saw and heard I am sure a great improvement to the people of the town has resulted in substituting the one dispensary for the nine barrooms. But that is only a 'stepping stone' towards prohibition which the people are after..." Overall, interesting content and worthy of further research. Usual folds and some soiling to pages, good.
