Description: >Offered here for your consideration is an old & original 1939 Atlantic White Flash Gasoline & Oil vintage baseball pamphlet, featuring Philadelphia Athletics pitcher JACK COOMBS!! Please see all four photos, as they are an important part of my description. This high-grade 1939-dated fold-out pamphlet was issued as a promotion for Atlantic White Flash Motor Oil. This was pamphlet #4 of the six (6) baseball-themed pamphlets issued with the Philadelphia A's pitcher sharing his "baseball tips", with this pamphlet simply entitled "Catching". My first two photos pictures the pamphlet in its folded form and measures approximately 6 3/4" x 4 1/4"; my final two pics show the pamphlet fully opened up. The back page features a promotion for Atlantic Gasoline & Oil, which describes this rather scarce baseball ephemera as well as an opportunity to win a trip to the 1939 World Series (if you clipped the coupon and sent it away; the coupon remains fully intact). Nifty piece of vintage baseball memorabilia! <>History: Jack Coombs (aka John Wesley Coombs) was a top-flight Major League Baseball player who was a pitcher mainly for the Philadelphia Athletics but also the Brooklyn Robins and Detroit Tigers. A two-way player, Coombs also occasionally played the outfield. Coombs set a number of American League and World League records which still stand and, when he won 31 games while losing only nine in 1910, he became one of only 13 pitchers to win 30 games in a season since 1900. Coombs was born in LeGrand, Iowa and moved with family to Kennebunk, Maine at the age of four. Coombs was a graduate of Colby College, and was later nicknamed "Colby Jack" after his alma mater. He later coached baseball for the Duke Blue Devils (1929-1952); their baseball field is named after him. Coombs pitching record was an impressive 158-110, with a low ERA of 2.78. He was a 3-time World Series champion. <>Condition: the pamphlet is in extremely *FINE SHAPE* overall, barely exhibiting any age/handling faults...nice!!!
