Rare "Fad-A-Way Ball Gum" display box with a beautiful Christy Mathewson graphic was meant to be placed on a counter in the local candy store. "Fade Away" was the name given to Matty's most devastating pitch and the gum balls that were originally housed in this box were made to look like baseballs. It has some restoration work done including retouching on the inside lid and reinforcement to the inside of the box. It was produced by the "American Chicle Co.," circa 1912, and has their logo at the base of the lid. It is in excellent condition and displays wonderfully.
