Rube Oldring Personal Items Collection Including Signatures
<p>Assorted personal items of deceased (1961) ex-MLB player Rube Oldring. The items in this collection include: his marriage license and wedding day photos of Rube and his wife, Hannah; papers pertaining to his death and estate; his signed Social Security card; his bank book with signature; paperwork relating to his tax returns and payment by the Philadelphia A's; funeral ephemera for Rube and his wife; 1948 Philco television still of Rube while filming Sports Scrapbook with letter; and other ephemera.</p><p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman';">In Philadelphia, during the dead-ball era, Rube Oldring was a name known by all. He was a star player for the 1911 and 1913 World Champion Philadelphia Athletics. Both of those Championships are represented here in fine splendor. Even though he was never considered for the Baseball Hall of Fame, Oldring was a reliable and gritty player for Connie Mack’s A’s dynasty. After spending 14 years in the major leagues, Rube went on playing for and managing the Wilson team of the Virginia League to a Championship Pennant. Let us not forget that this is a time period when baseball players had to work during the winter months to provide for their families. Rube was no different as he worked long hours to provide and played as hard as humanly possible because he loved the game of baseball. After retirement from the game, he began farming for a living and spent his entire life in his native, Bridgeton, New Jersey. The relics and treasures presented here have remained in the Olding family until this day. This is the first family-authorized sale of any of the Oldring family’s belongings. Each lot will come with a letter from the family.</span></p>
