Collection of twelve documents, spanning the dates January 26, 1928, and March 26, 1928, representing correspondence between the New York Yankees and the Commissioner of Baseball's office concerning the design of the New York Yankees' 1927 World Series rings. Five of the documents are original one-page typed letters, on "Baseball" letterhead, from the Commissioner's office, which have been signed in black ink by Leslie O'Connor, who was the office's secretary/treasurer. Those five documents are accompanied by five corresponding one-page typed file copies from Yankees general manager Ed Barrow. The final two documents are a telegram from the Commissioner's office to Ed Barrow and a copy letter from the Commissioner's office. As seen here in this correspondence, the Yankees were considering designs from several companies, including one represented by Yankees pitcher Urban Shocker. Yankees owner Jacob Ruppert finally selected the design submitted by Dieges & Clust. Information contained in the correspondence between the two parties includes the number of rings needed, how the players wanted their names engraved in the rings, and the delivery date. This entire archive originates from the Ed Barrow estate and was once part of the fabled Barry Halper Collection. Each of the letters (8.5x11") displays fold lines, staple holes in the upper corners, and general wear. The telegram (8.25x7") displays both horizontal and vertical fold lines, as well as rough borders. VG-EX overall.
