Circa 1930s Box for “Branch Rickey Official League Baseballs.”
Lot 236. Circa 1930s Box for “Branch Rickey Official League Baseballs.” One end panel of the box lid has a photo of Rickey and a picture of the ball, which was produced by the J. H. Grady Manufacturing Co. of St. Louis. Grady patented a baseball in 1928. Rickey, of course, had a long tenure, from the 1910s-40s, as a player, manager and executive in St. Louis. The box bottom and lid are present. Both show some water stains. One end panel of the lid is missing; both side panels are present, although one is detached. The box may not be a thing of beauty, but it represents a historically interesting “find” for Rickey and equipment collectors.
Winning Bid $75.
