1930's FOLK ART BASEBALL ABALONE SHELL



I bet you never thought you'd see the words "Baseball" and "Abalone" next to each other in one sentence, but check out this unusual piece. I have no idea why these now anonymous baseball player's photos were glued onto the inside of an abalone shell, but the speculation is that these were possibly players in the Pacific League out on the West Coast (although this piece was found in a Maryland estate). The baseball players have on different uniforms and caps. One player has the letter "L " on his cap and another has the letter "H". Just weird, so of course I LOVE IT!
