Item Description
2.75" long. No maker. Great portrait images w/text above "Edward J. McKeever, Vice President/Stephen W. McKeever, Second Vice President" and below is "The Brooklyn Ball Club." The brothers bought half of the Brooklyn franchise from Henry Medicus on January 2, 1912. Together with co-owner Charles Ebbets, they built what became Ebbets Field. Ed McKeever served as Vice-President of the Dodgers until Ebbets died of a heart attack on April 18, 1925. McKeever became team president but he caught a cold at Ebbets' funeral and died of influenza a little more than a week later. Scattered surface wear including tiny impressions but mostly only seen under magnification or in reflected light. Retains full gloss and photos are sharp. Fine. One of few known examples. Paul Muchinsky Collection.
