She acquired it from her uncle, an executive at Coca-Cola.
And we don't know much.
It looks like it's an original painting, but we-- we don't really know.
APPRAISER: Well, this is a 1951 painting that was done for Coca-Cola advertising.
Coca-Cola and advertising has had a long, long, long history and a long history with sports, because what better Americana is there than-- than a Coke and baseball?
Now, it's interesting-- here, we have this Babe Ruth patch on there instead of an O, which is what you see in the ad.
GUEST: Yes.
APPRAISER: Now, this was done for the 65th anniversary of Coca-Cola.
My guess is that they did afterwards a special promotion for Babe Ruth, because in 1951, the Babe Ruth League was established.
Because it's Coca-Cola, because it's baseball.
I would put an auction estimate of $6,000 to $8,000 on this.
GUEST: Wow.
Wow, that's... that's amazing.
We had no idea.
