we come to the booth of Michael J. Mckee of Pittsburgh PA. Michael
was big on football. Good to see a dealer focus on that rich area.
First up in Michael's booth was a large 57" wide x 22"
tall, c1930 green felt banner with a football kicker on the right,
the name "RESERVE" across the middle, and the football
in the air at top right corner, rare for one of these
banners to have such graphics. Case Western Reserve University
is in Cleveland Ohio, $500.00

Next
up was a 1953 football table game called Scrimmage made by Big
Times Game Company in El Paso Texas. Quite a rare game and big,
only example I've seen, die cut players were 6" to 9"
tall, box dimensions were 25" x 20 1/2", $600.00

calendar, and the other undated also missing the calendar, $500.00
each

brochure featuring Joe DiMaggio running to base, with ad copy
"DODGE BATS HIGHEST WITH ME" -Joe DiMaggio...coupled
with "Read Joe DiMaggio's story of how he learned to bat -
inside", all that for $75.00...should have gotten it, bargain
of the show!

Next
was a Sept 6, 1963 dedication ceremony program for the
Professional Football Hall of Fame. The cover featured a photo of
the building and a huge superimposed overlay photo of Jim Thorpe.
Was printed on newspaper stock and would have to be very rare,

Next
was a c1930 wooden football player toy, featuring moveable
limbs. I believe it may have been made by the Schoenhut Company,
poor condition, 8" tall, $100.00
