A very interesting type of 1910-era collectible are the die-cut souvenir fans that feature images of the 16 captains of their various teams. These fans printed on heavy paper sometimes included blank scorecards and were affixed by staple to a wooden handle. The fans that were used commercially also contained printed advertisements on the reverse typically for local businesses. This fan contains images of the team captains some of the most popular players of the day including Germany Schaefer Bobby Wallace (HOF) Billy Sullivan Hal Chase George Moriarty Harry Lord Harry Davis Nap Lajoie (HOF) Mickey Doolin (misspelled) Clark Griffith (HOF) Bill Dahlen Bill Sweeney Frank Chance (HOF) Art Devlin Fred Clarke and Roger Bresnahan. This is the more scarce of two similar pieces that are known from the era the more common being an entirely sepia-toned piece with scorecards on both sides. This piece is more elegant a full-color die-cut image of a woman inside a baseball diamond with a full-color baseball at the top center. Typically found printed on the reverse this example includes an ad for the Nowata Vandy Kitchen. The piece is obviously in POOR condition the most notable flaw being the handle which has broken in half. Several large tears have been repaired with clear tape in several different areas of the piece which also exhibits pencil writing on the reverse. Still a rare and desirable piece in any grade the scarce color variation of a very popular and widely collectible fan.
