Item Description
2.25” without dot pattern showing 12 players in uniform with one in the front row holding a baseball. Silvering on the mirror is near perfect and the celluloid is totally clean displaying Mint. In the early 1900s, baseball was absent from Reading, Pa. but it returned in 1907 when the York White Roses of the Class-B, tri-state league relocated and became the Reading Pretzels. The year this mirror was produced in 1911, the Pretzels finished with the best record in the league but lost a best-of-7, post-season series to the Trenton Tigers. The league folded after 1914 but the Pretzels were resurrected when the Albany Senators of the New York State League relocated to Reading in August, 1916. That league folded at the end of 1917 due to the first World War. Rare. From the Richard Merkin Collection. Comes with Hake’s COA.
