1910s "Babe" Adams Real Photo Postcards, Tintype & Document from his Estate (100+)
Will the real Babe Adams please stand up? Previously sold as the wrong Babe Adams, this is 1910s minor leaguer Warren "Babe" Adams. There are well over 25 really nice real photo baseball postcards: team photos, individuals and groups, many identified. Several wear an "M" insignia with team name "Twins" and "Pegs." There are a bunch of snapshots, some very small and about 50 of them are baseball related (in uniforms, on the baseball diamond, etc.) or with his teammates in civvies. Some other very interesting things including him in a 1910s Brooklyn Dodgers uniform at Ebbets Field (rough), TINTYPE of four of Babe sitting together using trick photography, two large mounted baseball team photos, two oversized cabinet photos, and more. Best of all, are two photos of 1916 Winnipeg's Norwood Ballpark "Under Water Floods." One is beautiful RPPC & one is snapshot of totally rad "Coca Cola" outfield wall advertisement also under water. Total of 100+ pieces. Many have scrapbook backs with black paper still on top. Even two letters from Babe, one is a 1907 detailed 3-page ALS regarding a Baseball Fraternal Organization they started and even created a "Constitution." Fascinating stuff.
