Hunt Auctions: The Bob Schenz Collection

Hunt Auctions has just started their recent offering that coincides with the 2009 All-Star Game Fanfest in St. Louis and it has numerous items that would make any Dodger fan green with envy. In fact, there is so much great stuff I am going to split it up into several different post.

One of the collections of interest to the Blue Nation is the personal collection of former Dodger executive Robert John Schenz. He worked for the Dodgers from 1959 to 1988 in various executive capacities; including Transportation, Stadium Club and Personnel. Check out some of his booty below.

To start, below is a large lot of 16 press pins and charms from the numerous World Series and All-Star games. Unlike many of the auctions you'll see on eBay these are the real thing.

World Series press pins: 1963, 1966, 1974, 1980, 1981 and 1988. Dodgers World Series press charms include: 1974, 1977, 1978, 1980, 1981 and 1988. Other pins incl.: 1974 Oakland, 1988 Oakland, and 1967 Anaheim All-Star as well a 1978 New York World Series charm.
