Diamond Memories

Diamond Memories is a tongue in-cheek description of my extensive collection of baseball antiques and 400+ volume baseball library.

I am liquidating my museum after 30 plus years of collecting. Now that I am no longer using Facebook there is no sense in having a virtual museum...plus I could use the money. Met with the auctioneer today. It will make up at least 3 auctions. I will post a link as we get closer.

New old stock. 1960's hand held pinball game. Pristine shape. Bought with three others. Sold those...this was free.

Another freebie item into the ,museum, a complete set of 1987 Series winning Minnesota Twins.

My granddaughter Kaitlynn also brought me this. A post card of an original artwork in the Library of Congress. Upon further research I found there is also a similar one called the Evolution of a Catcher. I suppose I will need to send her back to Washington to get me that one.

My 14 year old granddaughter recently traveled to Washington DC. Picking up a few souvenirs she happened on an antique store where she found this Braves window decal AND the original sleeve it came in with directions.

NEW old stock hand held pinball game. Before video games. 1960's Dime Store treat. "Mom, can I have this please? It's only 79 cents." THIS, is Diamond Memories.

It all started with a bat shaped ink pen in the mid 90's. It blew up into a 900+ item collection called Diamond Memories. This mid to late 50's mechanical pencil was a must addition to to match a matching fountain pen.

I always loved the Hamm's bear and could draw him so easy. I had a life size bear on the wall in my folks house and two of them on my snowmobile. It transferred to my love of baseball and Hamm's was a huge sponsor in the 60's and 70's. I have a number of items in the museum. I found this recently, a paper weight with 'beer that brings you baseball'.

Here is another novelty card reprint. A hundred years ago what boy wouldn't want a genuine Louisville Slugger? That is why this artifact has made it to Diamond Memories Baseball Museum and Library.

This is a Novelty card reproduction. (of little value) But still it is kin of neat, it shows the collectability of player card over 100 years ago. No other sport can say that. AND, it is why Diamond Memories displays these types of items.

This is an absolute pristine 1962 Milwaukee Braves yearbook. Fun to look back on the team and players. I enjoy seeing the old ads like cigarette and the Rambler cars.

06/11/2024

Here is my next great find. A 1962 Minnesota Twins yearbook. Just a year removed from Washington DC, this book shows team records and stats from the Senators. Many of the images show a W on the cap. Everyone my age remembers Ray Scott, Halsey Hall and Herb Carneal doing the play by play. All my childhood heroes, Harmon, Zoilo, Jim Kaat, and Earl Batty to name a few. 48 pages of nostalgia and advertising. INCLUDING an ad for Schweigert hot dogs, made right here in La Crosse WI.
