MAMMY OF A COOKIE JAR - MOSAIC TILE COMPANY

-
Roosters purchased a terrific Mammy Cookie Jar made by Mosaic Tile Company in the mid 1940's. Mosaic did not make these jars for commercial sale, which explains why they book at $375. The 13 1/2" jars have a wonderful and detailed Mammy who has her right hand folded over her left with a big smile. There were at least 6 different color variations and we have the more common yellow version. Cookie Jar sales are somewhat flat, but, how could we pass on ol' Mammy? SOLD mama.jpg

Denkert Signature Model Baseball Gloves - Ultimate Resource

-
Image
Denkert Sporting Goods Company made signature model baseball gloves from the 1920's thru the 1960's out of Johnstown and Gloversville, NY. I have compiled a listing of over 544 player-endorsed glove models manufactured by Denkert. Their Pro Master, Pro Maker and Sure Trap models were also made for private brands  It would only make sense that being located in New York, Denkert would have a Mickey Mantle endorsement. In fact, 24 different Mantle models have been discovered, including exclusive store models. Denkert did not get a lot of endorsements from other major stars, but, seemed to sign contracts with minor stars such as Pee Wee Reese, Al Rosen, Phil Rizzuto, Bill Skowron (18 known models), Bobby Richardson and Red Schoendienst. Reese was a favorite, having no less than 25 different model numbers over the years. They also got endorsements from more common players than most other glove makers such as Vic Wertz, Danny O'Connell, Del Rice, Jim Landis, Chet La

STARKIE'S JOLLY NIGGER BANK - ORIGINAL IDENTIFIED v. OLD REPRODUCTION

-
In the process of liquidating a living estate, we came upon a rare and original Starkie's Jolly Nigger (Moves Ears) Mechanical Bank. The bank was patented in 1920 by Robert Eastwood Starkie of Burnley, England (British Pat No 152,588). All known banks were made of Aluminum. In 1945, a patent was issued to Robert Patterson Starkie for a similar bank. This is the bank that is most often seen in Antique and Collectible circles and is often mistaken for the original from 1920, even by major auction houses. At first glance from the front, the banks look identical. However, there are at least 8 differences: 1) Original: Ears are located closer to the eyes. A "V" shaped section from the back half of the casting fits into a "V" groove in the front half. Later Version: Ears are located in the middle of the castings. 2) Original: Back has the inscription: "Starkie's Pat No 152,588" Later Version: Blank back. 3) Original: Base plate has circular holes and is
