A wonderful collection of five antique hardcover books from the classic "Baseball Joe" juvenile sports series by Lester Chadwick (Howard R. Garis), published by Cupples & Leon Co. This set tracks the star pitcher Joe Matson’s journey through the professional ranks of early 20th-century baseball. Bound in their iconic original olive-gray pictorial cloth with graphic baseball diamond details on the spines, these volumes make an exceptional decorative display for a sports enthusiast, library, or collector of antique Americana.
Included Titles & Chronological Order:
Baseball Joe in the Big League (1915)
Baseball Joe on the Giants (1916)
Baseball Joe in the World Series (1917)
Baseball Joe Around the World (1918)
Baseball Joe Home Run King (1922)
Vintage/UsedCondition Details: This set shows appropriate signs of age, shelf wear, and handling. Expected light fraying/softening to the spine ends, minor rubbing, and corner bumps on the boards.
The spine on Baseball Joe in the Big League shows heavy structural wear/cracking along the external hinge as pictured, though the volume remains intact. Pages have natural age-toning typical of early 1900s pulp/paper stock. 1926 and 1930 ownership markings stating a gift to son from Mother.
Overall a wonderful set with fantastic vintage character.
