拍品专文

Preserved in excellent overall condition, this rare minute repeating split seconds chronograph was presented to the American baseball player and manager Dave “Beauty” Bancroft in 1925 during his time as manager of the Boston Braves.
David James “Beauty” Bancroft (1891-1972)
Played in Major League baseball for the Philadelphia Phillies, New York Giants, Boston Braves and the Brooklyn Robins between 1915 and 1930.
He played in minor league baseball from 1909 until 1914 when he was bought by the Phillies. After playing for the Giants through the 1923 season he became player-manager of the Braves, a role that lasted for four years.
Considered an excellent defensive shortstop and a smart ball player, Bancroft was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame by the Veterans Committee in 1971.
