This intriguing 1912 L1 Baseball Leather #123 Sherry Magee premium is certainly one of the more unusual catalogued designations of the era. This bovine prize was issued by Helmar and features a reproduction of the Phillies star printed on an oversized cowhide. The centered 1910-11 T3 Turkey Red Cabinet rendering is exceptionally clear and has survived the century in remarkable condition. The expertly crafted die-cut perimeter displays only minor perimeter wear and the supple leather canvas is absent of significant abrasions or surface contusions. A centered pin hole near the top middle point does not seriously impact this piece's overall presentation.
