Measures 11.75 x 16. With an ad on both sides, there's no indication of which publication this originally came from or the exact date of the ad. The Adirondack bat ad features Granny Hamner, Hank Bauer, Al Dark, Larry Doby HOF, and Booby Thompson. The Spalding add does not feature any players, instead focusing on the Harridge and Giles official league balls. One small hole just over Larry Doby's bat. some microtears around the edges that do not impact the ads.
Long-time friend of the company Carl Frysinger recently passed and made arrangements to consign his collection. With a collection that stretched from 1887 - 2022 and was as close to comprehensive as we've ever seen, he was one of the foremost Phillies collectors in the hobby. In his memory The Collector Connection will be donating 1% of our portion of the proceeds of the sale of his items to the Central PA Foodbank in Carl's name.
