Dating from the earliest years of the park where such legends as Cy Young and Shoeless Joe thrilled hometown crowds, this fabulous relic has weathered the decades admirably. Sepia-toned image of the field is set in a hinged tin case which still holds matches from the era. Condition is just as you would want it: strong, solid and attractive, but with just a hint at its advanced age. Imagine the games the gentleman who once carried this must have seen.
