Publication purists hit the mark, with this 1917 Horace Partridge Co. sporting goods catalog. This wholesale edition is incredibly well-preserved, with vibrant colors, nice gloss, a tight spine, and supple pages, adding up to an Ex-Mt rating, with an overall outstanding appearance that belies its considerable age. Featured on page 34, is a team photo of the 1916 World Series champion Boston Red Sox. Seen at center in the first row of this photograph, is the one and only "Babe" Ruth, in his days as a dominant pitcher. Also pictured, are Ruth's fellow Hall of Famers Herb Pennock, and Harry Hooper, along with the rest of the talented Red Sox players, who were in the midst of a dynastic run at the time. Opening Bid $200.
