Vaudeville stage and radio actor Happy Felton hosted a local New York City show called "The Knothole Gang," during which he taught kids the finer tips of playing the game of baseball. This collection features a Knot Hole Gang membership card, good sport pin and 1953 schedule card for all three New York City baseball teams (all of which were sponsored by Bank of Manhattan). There is also a large Happy Felton Spotlight Gang button and envelope with Felton's post office box address in the upper-left corner. All but the button appear to be unused, while the button has some staining on the bottom. A cool lot for Big Apple sports historians!
