Description
Washington D.C.: [No publisher], 1925 First edition. Signed by Walter Johnson in brown ink on his arm on the top of the game box. Brown wooden framed display, matted in red, with top panel of red, green, and yellow Walter Johnson Base Ball Game box, side panel of box, baseball field board, 10 silver game tokens, seven red tokens, and three purple tokens pasted to board (red and purple tokens not issued with the game), two scorecards (one filled, the other unfilled), and scarce teetotum spinner. Near fine, with light scuffing to the playing board, and a few light tears to the top panel of the box. Overall, a wonderful signed display of this early 20th century baseball board game. The Walter Johnson Base Ball Game is a board game in which players use a baseball field board, silver game tokens, and a unique metal teetotum to simulate the game of baseball. According to Sports Collectors Daily, the game "has become one of the most popular and sought after antique sports board games." Walter Johnson, nicknamed "Big Train'' due to the blinding speed of his fastball, is one of the greatest pitchers in MLB history. He played 21 seasons for the Washington Senators (1907-1927) and won the pitching triple crown three times. He was among the first group of players inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1936, along with Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Honus Wagner, and Christy Mathewson.. Signed. First Edition. Framed Display. Near Fine.

Description
New York: Greenberg: Publisher. Poor. (c.1950). First Edition. Softcover. [heavily worn with extensive creasing to covers; the spine covering is almost completely gone, but it's holding together -- just barely -- because it was stitched, not perfect-bound; rubber stamp of Kier's Book House on front endpaper and title page]. (B&W photographs) The first issue of this long-running annual round-up of the year's films and personalities. In the beginning (and for another year or two, I believe) this publication was issued in both a dust-jacketed hardcover edition and as a softcover, this example being the latter -- as as noted, with the binding almost shot. The front cover features small portrait hotos of Joan Fontaine, Cary Grant, Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, Barbara Stanwyck, Katharine Hepburn, and John Lund. The volume contains the first of the "Portrait Dolls of Famous Film Folk" (by artist Mary Green) full-page photo feature (including dolls of Greta Garbo, Greer Garson, W.C. Fields, Bing Crosby); the "Promising Personalities" sections includes Mario Lanza, Ruth Roman, Scott Brady; the volume is dedicated to silent film actress Clara Kimball Young. Ordinarily I would just discard a book in this condition -- but, well, it was the beginning of a long-running and much-loved series, and I just haven't got the heart to chuck the poor abused thing out. So I've made it super-cheap, just to help it find a new home. .
