 Lot 193. Rare Circa 1930s Mickey Mouse Celluloid Figure with a Baseball Bat. This seldom-encountered 2 7/8” figure has “Japan” impressed on the back. It appears to be hand-painted, re-painted or both, and some of the red paint from Mickey’s bat is also on the right side of his face. There is a slight indentation on Mickey’s nose and a deeper indentation on the back of his right show.
Minimum Bid $100.

 Lot 246. Rare 1960 Pirates-Yankees World Series Scorecard Featuring Future President JFK. On Oct. 10, the day the Pittsburgh took a 3-2 game Series lead over New York at Yankee Stadium, Senator and presidential candidate John F. Kennedy appeared at two rallies in the Steel City. His image is on one side of the 7.25 x 8.5 scorecard, along with an endorsement for a local candidate for U.S. Senate. The scorecard itself is on the opposite side, with space for filling in the lineups for both World Series teams. It proclaims that “We beat ‘em in September, we’ll beat ‘em in October and Kennedy will beat ‘em in November.” The card is free of significant creases. A small stain is visible on the upper left of the Kennedy side, and the scorecard side has a tape stain in each corner. This is the first time we have seen this merger of baseball and politics. Certainly uncommon, and possibly unique!
Winning Bid $75.

 Lot 298. 1940s-50s Vintage LAC Gumball Machine. For five cents, this machine dispensed several gumballs, and possibly a small toy. The design is unusual. Inside the vendor, the producer is identified as LAC. A key provides access for adding more gumballs, which are not included. The machine, which shows some oxidation, is in good working order. It almost certainly will be a good source of conversation for adults and amusement for children.
Winning Bid $248.
