Matt (MGHPro)- those are incredible pieces! are they all yours? would love to hear a bit about there origins...

Jay- i owe you a phone call, nice Fatima, BTW!

[MGHPro]

Yes, all of those pieces are mine. The Gowdy Tuxedo sign came out of Mastro a few years ago, while the yellow Matty Tuxedo came off of ebay a long time ago. The other Matty tuxedo ad came via an ebay BIN. The Ruth Old Gold piece came out of an estate in Florida, The quaker oats from Hunt and the Bloomers piece came off of ebay at some point along the way.

Corey:

That Peach Gloves Ad Poster is sick (in a good way, of course!) Interesting that they put out such an elaborate ad, and their gloves are nowhere to be found today. I look for vintage gloves/mitts all the time, and NEVER see that brand. Does anyone have a Peach example, in which they can post a photo?

Corey, if you can locate one, it would be very cool to display both the poster and glove together...

[benjulmag]

Here's the definition of glove from the following link: http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/baseball+glove


"glove, hand covering with a separate sheath for each finger. The earliest gloves, relics of the cave dwellers, closely resembled bags. Reaching to the elbow, they were most probably worn solely for protection and warmth. Although there is some indication of the use of separate fingers in an Egyptian relic, most early gloves were much like mittens, usually of skin with the fur inside. The glove as we know it today dates from the 11th cent. In England after the Norman conquest, gloves, richly jeweled and ornamented, were worn as a badge of distinction by royalty and by church dignitaries. The glove became meaningful as a token; it became custom to fling a gauntlet, the symbol of honor, at the feet of an adversary, thereby challenging his integrity and inviting satisfaction by duel. In the 12th cent. gloves became a definite part of fashionable dress, and ladies began to wear them; the sport of falconry also increased their use. In the 13th cent. the metal gauntlet appeared as a part of armor. Gloves became accessible to the common people, and their popularity grew. Scented gloves, an innovation that was to last until the 18th cent., came into vogue. The 16th and 17th cent. saw extravagantly ornamented gloves; they were of leather, linen, silk, or lace and were jeweled, embroidered, or fringed. After the 17th cent. the emphasis was on proper fit, and gloves were less ornamental. The first known glove maker was in Perth, Scotland, after 1165; a guild of glove makers was incorporated in France in 1190, and one in London c.1600. In the United States, glove making began in 1760 when a settlement of Scottish glovers was established at Gloversville, N.Y.; New York state has since been the center of the glove industry in the United States. Modern gloves are made of fabric, plain or knitted; of leather from almost every variety of animal hide; and of rubber and plastic used in surgical, laboratory, and household work."


So now at least we know where the name gloversville comes from. I agree it would be nice to have a Peach brand of glove to go along with the poster.

There was a Peach glove posted a long time ago, the last time this poster was offered for sale. I was in contact for a while with a lady from Gloversville that sold me a bunch of Johnstown/Gloversville baseball photos whose mother worked at the factory. She had no memorabilia from the company though.

[CarltonHendricks]

Corey, Could you please elaborate on that c. 1912 Peach Gloves advertising poster you posted on page 3 (http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=113475&page=3). What are the details of that, dimensions, printer, came out of, etc. I looked into it a little Apparently there was a trimmed example REA sold, link here (http://www.robertedwardauctions.com/auction/2005/862.html).
<img src="http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/CarltonHendricks/PeachPartial.jpg">
And in another example is referenced reference on Antiques and the Arts (http://antiquesandthearts.com/AW0-12-18-2001-12-30-43)"a circa 1910 Peach Baseball Gloves advertising display sold for $35,187" I'm guessing that was your example.

Of course that's a whole different level of memorabilia not for the timid. Can you post some closer in photos of it? Acorrding to the REA listing "The display features full-length illustrations of nearly every top star of the game including Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, Christy Mathewson, Walter Johnson, Tris Speaker, Frank Baker, Nap Lajoie, Chief Bender, Ed Walsh, and Roger Bresnahan, as well as managers John McGraw and Connie Mack, who are pictured seated in the dugout."

I'm not a glove guy, but that's the first I've heard of J.A. Peach Gloves. And to think they lasooed all those big names to endorse it, that's amazing. Did somebody just change the name from A.J. Reach to J.A. Peach or something? LOL

[benjulmag]

The poster is approximately 20" x 30", fairly substantial for an advertising poster. It is not the one you describe that REA (when they were part of Mastro Auctions) sold in 2001. That one, while looking beautiful, had substantial restoration. I know the consignor and had seen it in its original state. As I best recall, there was substantial inpainting done. A portion of the poster was also missing, which was rebuilt and inpainted.

The one I own I acquired in a private transaction several years ago. It was a fresh find and had not been previously known to exist. The condition was amazing for an advertising poster. The colors are very bright and show no signs of fading. Except for cleaning and the repair of one or two pinholes in the margins where the poster was orginally mounted, nothing else was done. No inpainting was performed; all the colors are original.

Including mine, I am aware of three copies. Besides being colorful and displaying important players of the era, the poster is the only chromolithgraphic advertising piece from that era of which I am aware (other than the T202 Hassan triple folders piece whose two side panels depicts Cobb and Mathewson). In contrast, the previous golden era of card issues (the late 1880's) had several outstanding chromolithographic advertising pieces.

I do not have closeups to share. Sorry.

Corey, Thanks for expounding. Was J.A. Peach a major glove maker? Do you have any of their gloves you could post photos of? Was it just a coincidence the names A.J. Reach and J.A. Peach are so similiar? Do you know any history of the J.A. Peach company? Who formed it etc.?

[benjulmag]

Carlton,

Not being a glove collector, my knowledge about this company is very limited. Perhaps some of the glove collectors can offer further insight.

[perezfan]

Carlton...

Mr. Mitt (Jerry) has posted links above, showing the front and back of a Peach Glove, as well as a vintage ad copy. You will be hard pressed to find many additional images, as examples are scarce.

Although the names are off by a single letter, the Reach and Peach companies were not related. The guys over at Vintage Glove Forum can probably shed more light, if you are interested...

http://www.vintagebaseballgloveforum.com/phpBB2/

[CarltonHendricks]

Sorry gentleman, I didn't see all the other chatter and Mr. Mitt's links. This company is interesting. All those big names endorsing, very little known history, and the gloves are real rare....then you have the name similarity thing. Corey, are you making up these signs in your garage?...just kidding. I guess I've muddled up this excellent thread with too much focus on this sign. It'd probably been more appropriate to have it's own thread. I really like that part Dan B. provided about the lady's mother that worked for the company, now that's interesting!

[khkco4bls]

brooklyn dodgers schaefer sign. jackie robinson pin display. home run coffee, and a score card with a.j. reach adv.sorry about sticking the robert riger art work in the wrong post.

[Mr. Mitt]

Peach definitely has no association with Reach. Al Reach was a ballplayer turned sporting goods manufacturer who sold his Philadelphia company to Spalding, the more famous ballplayer turned equipment titan.

We know that Peach produced ball gloves from roughly 1911-16 in Gloversville, NY, but very little else is available to us. The name of the town speaks for itself. Immigrants settled in the area and applied their glove-making skills taken from Europe. Baseball gloves were a natural offshoot for the glove industry, so a few manufacturers popped up in the area... most notably Kennedy-Wells, better known as Ken-Wel.

The Peach advertising poster is absolutely magnificent! I seriously doubt that any of the players depicted were compensated for appearing on it. Interestingly, though players of the era are seen in advertisements for sporting equipment and in manufacturers' catalogs, actual player endorsements on gloves and mitts were sporadic in the teens. This practice didn't truly take off until the the 20's.

Barry, Best piece on this thread....phenomonal.....I like how it states:

"THIS SHEET IS GIVEN AWAY AS A SUPPLMENT TO THE BASE BALL PLAYERS BOOK OF REFERENCE"

You sure don't see those implments for sale much, maybe the belts now and then....but not the hats...I did see a striped hat at the 2007 National that Darla Bernhardt had that was in the vein of the ones in the poster, but I don't see it in there...she said it was cricket, priced $300.00....none of the ones in the poster have the stripes going around. I did get a boater style one from her there by the way. How many examples of your poster have you seen? When and how did you come into it?

[barrysloate]

Thanks Carlton. One thing that surprises me about the poster is Peck and Snyder did not put their name on it. The Haney Book of Reference was edited by Henry Chadwick from 1866 to 1868. Peck and Snyder purchased it in 1869, undoubtedly to use as a vehicle to promote their products. The 1869 copy I found it in also had a 16 page section in the back that exclusively advertised P & S sporting goods equipment. The poster was miraculously still affixed to the inside front cover, exactly as it was at the time of issue. There were tears throughout at almost half the folds, and a conservator had to put it back together. But the colors are pristine since they never saw the light of day for 130 years.

There is a variant to this poster in John Kashmanian's book Baseball Treasures. It is not as elaborate as mine but does have the name of the store printed on it. I assume it is later than this one, perhaps 1870-72. But as I said, the poster was made to hang in a store, and how they could leave their own name off of it makes no sense. A mystery that I can not solve.

Forgot to answer a part of your question: I got it about ten years ago when I got a call from an antique dealer in upstate New York who said he found two Haney Guides as well as some other miscellaneous material. He mentioned one was missing the covers, but I figured they were rare enough and he offered to send them to me. Just as we were finishing our conversation he said: "Oh by the way, there is a color poster inside the cover of one of them." It kind of slipped by me but by the next day I sensed that it might be something special. When I actually saw it I was of course amazed. As it turned out it was pretty close to a free throw in. Those things don't happen very often.

Greg- that Diamond Brand is a beauty. Is it circa 1910?

Edited to say it looks like 1909 World Series, with Detroit and Pittsburgh.

[sayhey24]

Thanks Barry, you're right on the date.
This was a piece sent to a retailers to entice them to put the full size Diamond Brand display in their window. It was a three dimensional piece -- 28 x 40 and ten inches deep, with cardboard cutouts of the players at their positions -- I have never seen one.

Here are a couple more pieces.

[perezfan]

Awesome stuff Greg.... your collection is amazing. Thanks for posting all of those great pieces!

[yanks12025]

You would think i would ahve a great chance to find one of those Peach posters considering i live 10 minutes from Gloversville but i come across nothing dealing with the company, only thing i know is where the old factory was.

[sayhey24]

Thanks Mark -- it's fun finally being able to show some stuff.

Here are a couple of ad pieces from sporting goods stores. The Mays bat is a giant bat (appropriately enough) -- well over four feet long.

Greg, awesome pieces. Thanks for sharing.

I went to school in Johnstown (which is about 2 miles from Gloversville) and never came across a Peach poster either although I always looked. Also, I co-founded the Fulton Montgomery Sports Historical Society (the museum is now in Gloversville) and we did find some information on Peach but no equipment to display.

[yanks12025]

Jon,
I went to the museum two weeks ago to see the baseball stuff. It was good to see different baseball things from around the area.

Home Run Cigarettes Circa 1910... the 12X18 version.

The Colors are incredible.

Anyone ever notice that the T206 Johnny Evers With Bat, Chicago on Shirt has the EXACT same background as this Home Run poster?

Great Home Run poster -- I like the fact that you have it in an antique frame.

Hi Jacksons,
When you say "the 12x18 version", does that mean you know of another size that was produced?

FYI, I featured that Home Run Cigs poster on my Sports Antique of the Week May 31st-June 10th 2009. Below the link if you haven't seen it already.

I owned the one that was sold in the REA auction. The only other one I have seen in 30 years was the Barry Halper one. I think your poster would really benefit from a high quality restoration. Anyway, it's a fantastic display!

[rlevy]

These banners were displayed in 1964 outside Union 76 gas stations in Los Angeles, promoting 8"x10" pictures of various Dodger players given away at the stations with a minumum puchase. It measures a whopping 3 1/2' x 7', and is made out of linen. Never seen another one survive, and being a picture of Sandy Koufax makes it even more unique.

"Junk mail" 80 years ago is pretty interesting. This tire salesman/owner was ahead of his time that is for sure. Cool find Jimmy.

That Dodgers banner with Koufax is incredible!

That Dodgers banner with Koufax is incredible!

-Ryan

Thanks Ryan. The Koufax banner had water damage on the edge and some mold issues, so I ended up paying more to a professional conservator to clean and stabilize it than i originally payed to acquire it. But since I mainly collect Koufax items it was well worth it.

Hi Rick,

I'm glad you posted that banner. I have one the same size for Cleveland Indians Volpe cups from the same era. When I get home later I'll try to snap a photo and post it. Nice to see that another one of these -- albeit not advertising the same giveaway -- survived.

Rob

[Mr. Mitt]

Carlton...

Mr. Mitt (Jerry) has posted links above, showing the front and back of a Peach Glove, as well as a vintage ad copy. You will be hard pressed to find many additional images, as examples are scarce.

Although the names are off by a single letter, the Reach and Peach companies were not related. The guys over at Vintage Glove Forum can probably shed more light, if you are interested...

http://www.vintagebaseballgloveforum.com/phpBB2/





Here are a few photos of a really interesting JA Peach "snap heel" fielder's glove with its patent. The topic of Peach advertising and gloves were discussed earlier in the thread.

[perezfan]

Recent REA pickup... I liked the colors, combined with the Carl Horner portraits, the D&M Logo and the cartoonish mascots at the bottom...

[Scott Garner]

Not vintage, but definitely oddball as this is the only one that I've ever seen. I've always liked this one. Nolan Ryan hawking Rhino brand huge farm equipment. As you can see, the bi-line is "Some things are just built tougher than others." BTW- Poster is circa 1990.

[Lordstan]

Paul,
Great stuff!
I noticed this especially because of the presence of Gehrig.
It's interesting that the tag line is "Joe McCarthy and a host of Memories" but there is no Dimaggio pictured. Ruth, Gehrig, Rizzuto, Keller, Crosetti, even one behind Gehrig that looks a little like Mantle, plus a few others that I can't immediately place are all there, but no Dimaggio. Strange!
Nonetheless, it's a beaut:D

Dell,

I don't like being the bearer of bad news, and maybe you already know this, but I'm 99 percent sure that's a fantasy piece. Not really a reproduction in the true sense of the word, because there was never an original piece like that. It's a modern creation. Others can check in with their thoughts. I hope I'm wrong.

Best,

Rob

[mjkm90]

You are correct Rob. I didn't want to be the bearer of bad news, but I would want to know.

I'm unsure if this is my favorite, but always liked the B&W The Equitable poster with "BROOKS! There's nobody else exactly like him." I know they made these for other players as well, but the Brooksie is the coolest to me.

I really like the 7UP scoreboard; very cool. Would love to see a picture of the whole room.
