BABE RUTH
1920's PERSONAL CIGARETTE CASE
STERLING SILVER
I BOUGHT THIS AT A AUCTION AND THEY HAD SOME AMAZING ITEMS, FROM HIS LUGGAGE TO HIS SOFT DRINKS MINT IN CASES AS WELL AS OTHER PERSONAL ITEMS OF HIS. THIS IS WHILE HE WAS WITH THE NEW YORK YANKEES THIS IS TRUELY AN AMAZING PIECE OF HISTORY. THERE WAS ANOTHER CIGARETTE CASE THAT BABE RUTH GAVE TO A FRIEND AND WASN'T EVEN IN THE BABE'S HAND WRITING BUT THE JEWELERS, AND THAT BROUGHT $4,200.00 AND I BELIEVE THAT WAS ON A EVANS. THIS IS INCREDIBLE MADE THAT IS IS AS WELL MADE AS TIFFANY OR CARTIER WITH HIDDEN PUSH BUTTON. HOW MUCH IS THIS ONE WORTH? I HAVE NO IDEA BUT I DO KNOW ONE THING BABE RUTH IS WITH OUT ANY DOUBT THE GREATEST BABEBALL PLAYER TO EVER LIVE AND IS THE BIGGEST ICON OF ANY SPORT...
You are so right about the greatest baseball player. My dear friend who just recently passed away would visit Babe Ruth's home when she was 16, her aunt and uncle were close friends to Babe Ruth. I love the stories she would tell about him. She said he was always a gentleman around her and he would make these huge hero sandwiches. She didn't realize his stature since she was from Canada at the time, but later on she would receive signed memorabilia given to her after her aunt and uncle passed away. Congrats on your awesome item!
I am a huge Yankee and Ruth fan. I have some Ruth memorabilia of my own. This is an awesome piece.
Thanks I'm Glad this is appreciated... I think it's Great too...
