UF23 “Bambino” Pinto Bean Burlap Bag (Five identical bags available: UF 23, 24, 25, 26, 27) c.1963 approx. 21 x 37 Mingo, Kansas $475 (each) Yes, we know this piece only dates back to the early 1960’s, which is new in Betsey’s world, but isn’t it wonderful? The Bambino Bean company used these 100 pound burlap bags to package pinto beans until Babe Ruth’s estate stopped the use of the Babe’s image. Betsey bought these five bags on one of her trips across the country over 10 years ago, and then forgot about them until she was up above the barn rummaging for treasures. So, whether you are a Red Sox fan, a Yankee fan, or just a fan of the game…one or more of these pieces would be perfect to add to your collection, and would look great on the wall as you cheer on your teams! |

Q8568 Geese in the Pond Variation c.1885 73 x 76 New England, possibly Maine $2,200 This wonderful quilt in excellent condition is a major piece of art! A fabulous added bonus is the very unusual baseball conversation print fabrics included among the indigoes, shirtings, reds, browns and double pinks. Tiny baseball players in early uniforms run, jump and throw in a few different prints across the quilt. The Geese in the Pond blocks are approximately 5 inches square, and the Diamond in a Square border is about 4 ½ inches wide. Functionally hand quilted with straight lines spaced approximately 1 inch apart. A tiny red and white check cotton was used for the 3/8 inch separately applied binding, and the wholecloth backing is a muted light taupe on beige leaf print cotton. Spring is here, and a new season of baseball beckons! Professionally hand washed by Betsey. |
