Item Description
Scarce 2.25" with curl naming maker Cruver, Chicago. This outstanding real photo pocket mirror pictures 19 uniformed players in ovals with their last name and position below. Importantly, the portrait of Honus Wagner utilizes the identical image to his world famous T206 tobacco card. With their new home ballpark opening midway through the 1909 season to standing room only crowds, the Pittsburgh Pirates stormed through their National League schedule, winning the title with one of the top records of all-time, 110-42 under National Baseball Hall of Fame player/manager Fred Clarke. The offense was led by the great Honus Wagner, arguably the best shortstop in Major League Baseball history. Fellow HOF'er Vic Willis, led the Pirates mound corps with a 22 win season in '09. The Pirates would go on to defeat the American League champion, Detroit Tigers w/Ty Cobb in seven games to take one of the most exciting World Series championships ever played. A very high grade example with 99% perfect silvering on the mirror and only a couple short, light hairline scratches visible in reflected light. High gloss. Paul Muchinsky Collection.
