This spectacular oversized cabinet is the only known specimen. The photograph is 6" x 8". Pebbly Jack, a potential Hall of Famer, is seated in an Adirondack stick-art studio chair, dressed to the nines in a three-piece suit with gold watch fob. We wonder if there is a baseball fob or watch on the end and can only dream. Dressed in civvies, resting at his side is his best friend, his trusty bat. The two-toned gem is obviously period and is hammered from game use with spike marks clearly visible. It is very unusual for players in civies to have equipment, making this image special. There's a blind stamp cartouche from Purdy Studio of Boston and llight foxing, but overall EX+. Extremely heavy weight. Overall 9" x 12".
