    BABE RUTH
    1910's BOTTLE OF BEER FROM HIS FATHERS TAVERN
    ONLY THREE KNOWN   RARE !!!
    1910'S A BEER BOTTLE FROM THE TAVERN THAT BELONGED TO BABE RUTH'S FATHER. WHEN THE FIRST REPRESENTATION OF THIS EXCEEDINGLY RARE BOTTLE HIT THE AUCTION BLOCK IN 1999 IT WAS TOUTED AS THE ONLY KNOWN EXAMPLE, AND REALIZED OVER ,000.00. THE TREMENDOUS RESPONSE SENT COLLECTORS SCRAMBLING TO FIND ANOTHER SPECIMEN, AND SURE ENOUGH, A SECOND AND THIRD WERE LOCATED, AND THAT'S IT. OFFERED HERE IS ONE OF THREE KNOWN EXAMPLES OF A BOTTLE FROM THE BALTIMORE TAVERN THAT ONCE STOOD ON THE CURRENT SITE OF CAMDEM YARDS' CENTER FIELD, WHERE BABE TENDED BAR AS A YOUNG MAN DURING THE OFF-SEASONS OF HIS BOSTON RED SOX YEARS. THE ANCIENT GLAS STILLO HOLDS THE RESIDUE OF FATHER RUTH'S BREW, AND BEARS THE LETTERING "STATEN ISLAND BOTTLING COMPANY, GEORGE RUTHS PROP'R, TRADEMARK REGISTERED, BALTIMORE, MD, THIS BOTTLE IS REGISTERED, NOT TO BE SOLD." IT'S A PIECE SURE TO THRILLED THE CULTERED RUTH COLLECTOR WHO APPRECIATES THE BABE'S EARLY BALTIMORE HISTORY, AND THE DIFFICULT RELATIONSHIP HE HAD WITH HIS FATHER THAT CAUSED HIM TO SPEND HIS FORMATIVE YEARS AT ST. MARY'S INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL RATHER THEN IN THE HOME OF HIS PARENTS.
    CONDITION OF THE BOTTLE IS GOOD, THERE ARE NO CHIPS OR CRACKS.
