Lot 23. 8 Newspaper Photos Featuring the Waner Brothers. Two photos, each 6 ½” x 8 ½”, were published in the Philadelphia Record on Sept 1, 1939.

Two of these 1928 P&A Photos show the brothers on a vaudeville tour in San Francisco. After the 1928 World Series, they earned $2,000 a week by telling baseball jokes.

Vg, tiny edge tear, lower left corner torn in border, caption attached. The third, an ex-m Acme News Pictures photo, shows the brothers in uniform. The final three photos are as follows: 1.
