On April 9, 1913, Ebbets Field opened at 55 Sullivan Place, in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn. The home of the Dodgers until 1957, the park was a mecca to the loyal working-class Brooklynites who relentlessly supported their “Beloved Bums.” This rare and desirable pocket mirror dates from the ballpark's earliest days, with text reading "Ebbets Field, The Home of the Brooklyn Base Ball Club, is the Most Beautiful, Modern, Perfectly Appointed and Conveniently Located Base Ball Field in the World." The classic image of the exterior main entrance appears at center. Condition is quite good on the obverse, with the mirror side showing some rusting at the perimeter and blemishes behind the glass. Dimensions are 1.75"x2.75".
Includes a Letter of Provenance from the Helms Athletic Foundation/LA84 Collection.
