Antique Help?
I just purchased a house and found some antique material in the attic and was wondering about their value. The house has been vacant for years after an elderly man died, so I was just going to sale the material. Does anyone have any clue of the value?
A Ted Williams (Baseball player who played with Babe Ruth) Baseball bat case with a tag with his name in cursive writing.
Norfolk and Western Railroad magazines dating back to 1938 and 1952(have several) and a OCT 1938 special edition one. Also a 1963 and 1940 World Almanac. IN addition, I have a 1965 Newsweek Magazine (The Making of a President) and 1951 (Onto You is Born a Savior). Also, I have a 1937and 1947 June National Geographic magazine. Lastly, a Washington Post and Page News and COurier newspaper about Kennedy’s assasination. All these items are in GOOD condition.
Wow, Ted Williams! The almanacs will have no real value and I would be surprised if the magazines do. Sometimes enthusiasts will pay a bit for an old mag but not usually more than 5 or 10 bucks. I had a great collection of papers/magazines that came out right after the shooting and had lots of pictures of Kennedy in them and took it to a reputable dealer (Ken Gloss of the Brattle Bookshop in Boston, he is also on Antiques Roadshow a lot) and was told that everybody loved Kennedy and everybody stuffed their attics with Kennedy newspapers! It was worth about 15 dollars because I had so much. Now the case is the important find, take it to an autograph dealer to see if it is the real deal. You may want to see if you can look up a sample of his autograph on line to see if it’s totally unlike the writing on your case, thus saving yourself a fee for checking out the authenticity. Then try to sell it in a Boston antique sports shop, that’s “Ted Williams Nation”! I hope it’s worth a MINT!
