Brooklyn Dodgers Memorabilia Appraisal

Framed Photograph of Brooklyn Dodgers Players with Baseballs

This item is a framed sepia-toned or black and white photograph featuring three prominent Brooklyn Dodgers baseball players, identified by their uniforms bearing 'Dodgers' script and 'B' on their caps. The three players are smiling broadly, with two of them, Jackie Robinson and Roy Campanella (recognizable by their facial features and the Dodgers 'B' caps), positioned at the front, and a third player in the background. All three are depicted holding or surrounded by a large collection of baseballs. The photograph appears to be an original print, possibly from the mid-20th century. Below the main image, there is text that reads: 'Compliments of the New York Journal-American' along with a partial list of names starting with 'Pvt. KFW: Ricketts, Mygle, Farrell, Anderson, Dixi Walker, Cana Mascato, Calvin Meishin, Hank Buckman, Ray Brown, Hal Gregg, Howie Schultz, Duke Nation, Ed Head, Ralph Braun and 'One' Woodruff.' The names likely refer to other players or individuals associated with the team or the publication. The photograph is housed within a simple, light-to-medium brown wooden frame with a visible wood grain and a slightly beveled edge. The frame appears to be in good condition, showing only minor wear consistent with its age. The photograph itself may exhibit some slight discoloration or fading indicative of vintage prints. The overall presentation suggests a piece of sports memorabilia from a notable era in baseball history, showcasing iconic players from a beloved team. The quality of the photographic print appears to be good, with clear details of the players' faces and uniforms. The framing is functional and complements the vintage aesthetic of the photograph without overshadowing it.
