This is a unique companion piece to several other related lots from the Brooklyn Dodgers famed 1956 Tour of Japan an even proven later to have added poignancy with the revelation that the club would abandon its Brooklyn roots following the 1957 season and relocate in Southern California. Early in 1956 the Dodgers were invited by Matsutaro Shoriki the founder of the Yomiuri Shimbun and the Father of Japanese professional baseball to make a trip to Japan following the regular season. Dodgers legendary owner Walter OMalley spent a good deal of time to ensure that the key Dodgers players would make the trip before responding and this amazing lot features a very scarce 1956 Brooklyn Dodgers Tour of Japan tie clip. The metal tie clip boasts a silver bat design on the front with a Dodger blue Brooklyn cap positioned on the barrel of the bat. On the underside of the cap the words DODGERS IN JAPAN 1956 is printed in raised lettering next to the maker "DIEGES & CLUST." The tie clip measures two inches long.
