Babe Ruth 1949 Wristwatch: issued by the “Exacta Time Company” (as evidenced by the engraving on the reverse), this collectible features Ruth’s likeness and facsimile signature on the clock facing, which has numeric identifiers, hour and second hands. While the timepiece is in need of repair, it presents well with all components intact. The original expanding chrome wristband is complete, as well.

1961 “Home Run Twins” Cap: a blue nylon accessory crafted for wear by a youth, this collectible features a 3-1/2 x 2-1/8” satin-like patch with likenesses and facsimile signatures of Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle. The elasticized band remains at the rear and the original tag is secured to the interior leather sweatband. While the front patch is partially detached, this one is a well-prese4rved survivor with all original elements.
