This is a Premium Baseball Photo on Thick Card Stock. It measures 6" x 6 1/2".  ANY info on this would be appreciated. This is a 1935 Wheaties Card of catcher William Delancey that would have been cut from a box of Wheaties Cereal.   12 "pictures" were offered in 1934 and 12 more were added in 1935.

This is a July 5, 1909 Collinsville Amateur Baseball Club Pinback Pin made by Whitehead & Hoag. 1 1/4" diameter  We have been unable to place the team.  You're pin/button is almost certainly that of the Collinsville, CT semi-pro baseball club. The town team played such teams as the Cuban Giants (NY), Pittsfield (MA), Tarrington Y.M.C.A., Forestville, Waterbury Jeffersons, Coe Brass of Tarrington, and for this double header held on 7/5 the Hartford Royals (Typewriter Co).  The team had new grounds built for the 1909 season and it was a big event for the July 5th game. The game was not held on July 4th as that fell on a Sunday and there often were laws held on games being played on Sunday. So, a double header was held (10am, 4pm) on Monday. Simond's Military Band were part of the celebration.  The 1909 Collinsville Ball Club was managed by Louis E Thayer. Some of the players who definitely saw action were Rainault (C/P), Olds (P), Lambert (2B, C), O'Leary...

This 7/8” button portrays a young boy in overalls and large hat. We don’t know the meaning of the word “Gamossi.” Reverse has early back paper by Whitehead and Hoag c. 1900. Text reads “This No. May Draw A Prize/No. 1550.” The number “1550” has been crossed out and inked above is a different number which appears to read “120.” Hake book "Collectible Pin-Back Buttons" photo example Children’s Clubs section #100. Only one we’ve seen.  I have provided photos of another extant button. This button was offered by the Gamossi Glove Company out of Minneapolis, MN. Gamossi sold kid's gloves and umbrellas. Below are advertisements from Gamossi from 1905-1906 that give details as to the origin of this button, the kid club and how you could win a pair of gloves from the prize number on the back. 

I have an art pottery vase in white or ivory. It is marked 219-9" and USA on the bottom. While the 219-9" is similar to Roseville markings and the quality is also similar, don't know that it is. Any info would be appreciated. Your vase was actually made by Hull Pottery.

I searched through literally thousands of Roseville pottery pictures and have not found one in this mold pattern - so if anyone knows anything about it - I would love to know. This is part of Roseville's "Solid Colors" line. 

Today I picked up a set of Hazel-Atlas Windmill Salt and Pepper Shakers. These are very common and worth around $12. However, the reason I picked them up was because they are 2-sided. The reverse side has advertising for The Croghan Colonial Bank in Fremont, OH. with an image of Colonel Croghan.     Gene and Cathy Florence's 2004 book "Florences' Glass Kitchen Shakers 1930-1950's Identification and Value Guide" has the Croghan one-sided variation listed on page 139. What is notable, is that it is listed in the Unidentified section. Well, seeing the the 2-sided version I picked up has the unquestionable Hazel-Atlas Windmills on the other side, it can be verified that the Croghan versions are Hazel-Atlas. 

These beautiful Greyhound racing glasses were offered by The Velvet Peanut Butter Co out of Detroit, MI in the early 1950's. Advertisements can be found in 1953-1954 offering 8 numbered glasses with a single Greyhound on one side and two Greyhounds on the other. These glasses have been described as being issued by Boscul Peanut Butter which were known for their floral glasses.
