New Finds - Jersey and Stadium Seats
Posted: October 10th, 2010, 9:13 pmI recently piced up these two items:
First - this early baseball jersey. The interesting thing about the jersey is the name that is written on the tag. The name is Bernie Crum. The individual who I purchased the jersey from lives in Allentown PA and there is a well known coach by that name. However - he spells his name J. Birney Crum. I'm wandering if that could have been written by someone else. Also - I can't make out the logo on the jersey.
Secondly - I picked up these stadium seats that came from a local auction house. The auctioneer mentioned that they could have possibly come out of a local recreational park. After some digging - I have found that the owners from that park had strong ties with Art Rooney. Now - I'm trying to determine if the seats were once in Forbes Field. The color certainly matches. Two odd things - 1) No seat numbers on the back slats. 2) The underside of the seats were not painted. Still digging into this one with the family that used to own the recreational park.
Murph - any help would be appreciated!
