Item Description
The first item, without hanger, has ribbon reading "Base Ball./Detroit Alderman/Vs. Cleveland Councilmen/July 15 '03." Small bit of fabric missing at top and couple of dots off the left edge. Brass ring suspends 2" celluloid showing flag of the city of Cleveland. Reverse has another cello sheet showing "The Great Seal Of The State Of Ohio." This side has pair of 3/8" cello splits along the collet with one of these continuing with a pair of 1/8" splits to the side edge of the piece but showing very little from the front which displays bright and clean. Second item has brass encased hanger bar with word "Cleveland." Reverse has both a pin and brass rod that originally held the top edge of the fabric ribbons although top edge is fully split so they would need a repair in order to hang as intended. Further down the ribbon is another brass piece enclosing a celluloid inscribed "Detroit." Small stain trace on upper and lower edges. Left ribbon is intact and reads "Detroit Councilmen Vs. Detroit Alderman." The right ribbon has significant splits on the upper left and just below that on the right, although the fabric does remain intact. Gold lettering on this fabric reads "Base Ball Game At Cleveland, August 24, 1904." Ribbons have some tanning and dustiness but all lettering remains quite clear. These are single day locally issued rarities. Paul Muchinsky Collection.
