I usually don’t buy or collect baseball cards, but at a recent card auction I just had to buy this card of Bucky Harris. Bucky was a product of the Pennsylvania coal fields from which so many of the pre-war major league stars came. In 1924 as a boy manager, he led Washington to its first Pennant, repeating in 1925. He shortly afterward retired as a player manager. Later, he came out of retirement to manage the Red Sox. All-in-all, he was a manager for 12 years. I just had to have this card because my nickname in college was Bucky Harris.

Recent auction prices: pantry box, $40; sewing bird, $195; dough tray on legs, $115; tin candle box, $190; wood trencher, $90; wall reflector candle holder, $150; walnut document box, $105; quilt rack, $20; two pieces of white granite, $75; small turned pease ware, $15; Red Ryder BB gun, $20; hanging store scale, $35.

Happy hunting, Brooks-Bucky Harris.
