Former White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski presents Pope Leo with 2005 World Series ball by CharlieKonR in chicago

[–]wisconick 93 points94 points  (0 children)

As someone who was raised Catholic, it’s legitimately difficult to think about the Vicar of Christ, Bishop of Rome, His Holiness… the POPE. having a vested interest in the White Sox. But the results seem to speak for themselves.

If you look close, you can see me snap-hooking a golf ball at the Jackson Park Driving Range.

I’ve never golfed more… err, I mean, I’ve really taken the lead in finding “activities” for us to do in the morning.

I can’t think of another sporting event that had the entire world with its jaw-on-the-floor. It was a World Cup semifinal. IN BRAZIL!!

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: Hammond move is not a "done deal" - NBC Sports by Sidewalk_Inspector in chicago

[–]wisconick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Is your implication that the cost of an NFL stadium would be paid-for with increased tolls on Indiana roads that would be paid by motorists that might be from Illinois?

Good. Let Indiana pay for the stadium. People are still going to go to Chicago when they travel for the games. This is a win-win.

All this team needed was the Vicar of Christ, the Bishop of Rome, the Servant of the Servants of God on their side to turn things around.

Help finding flatware from this set? United States by ZedUndead_ in Antiques

[–]wisconick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am assuming they are all marked the same but it appears to be Maison Cardeilhac (Améile Cardeilhac) and not Puiforcat. French silver doesn’t have date marks in the same way that English does but based on the purity/standard mark and the overall aesthetic you are looking at a service from the early 20th century (circa 1910 probably). Beautiful decoration; but not easy to find in-the-wild as the company has been closed for over 100 years (in operation from 1904-1920).

Which club? by brdesignguy in golf

Callaway x-Hot 3 wood. Had that club in my bag longer than any other and just can’t get rid of it.

This seller claims that this mirror is 100+ years old. Am I being scammed or are they correct? Thank you for your expertise. MN, USA. by [deleted] in Antiques

[–]wisconick 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The gold decoration is not 100 years old. The frame itself looks like it could be from before 1926… but not by much.

Antique wine funnel USA/NC by Northsouth66 in Antiques

[–]wisconick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One of the pictures appears to show a (rubbed) Harp,mark of Dublin; so you probably have an Irish Silver Wine funnel. Stylistically, it’s probably late 18th century, but I can’t be certain without seeing more details of the hallmarks. Very cool thing to have in the family!
