Outstanding 5.75" x 7.25" souvenir photo album presented to Boston Red Sox first baseman, Dick Hoblitzell in 1917. This album was assembled by the Draper & Maynard Co. following a visit by Babe Ruth and teammates to D&M's factory in Plymouth, NH following their 1916 World Series championship. Upon arrival in the White Mountains Sox players were offered a key to the city and enjoyed activities in and around Plymouth, including a tour of the factory itself that produced equipment endorsed by the Red Sox from 1915-1920. The team's visit was documented in a series of photographs presented to individual players in the form of albums such as this one, two of which have found their way into the hobby in recent years. Many of the photographs once found within these albums depict a youthful Babe Ruth and six of those photos can be found elsewhere in this auction, offered individually (all of which have achieved Type 1 status). The presented album still contains 16 photographs measuring 4" x 5" or smaller affixed to the black album pages but several pages have obviously been carefully trimmed away. Affixed to the front cover is a letter on D&M letterhead dated January 9, 1917 and addressed to Dick Hoblitzell, indicating this was his personal copy. Players easily identifiable in the album include: Dick Hoblitzell, Tillie Walker, and Pinch Thomas. Babe Ruth does appear in a fur coat though the image quality is poor compared to remainder of the photos which are quite nice. Moderate soiling and wear is apparent to top half of cover and despite removal of several pages this remains a truly wonderful remembrance of the Red Sox historic visit to Draper & Maynard in 1916.
