Circa 1910-1915

It was taboo to depict American women smoking in the early part of the 20th Century. So, ATC produced this subliminal
advertisement showing a gal of middle-Eastern appearance and dress with a pack of cigarettes.
Furthermore, the effect of the repeated (diminishing) image was a clever advertising feature which was novel in that era.

While a neat item I don’t believe those Turkish Trophies items were ever issued with baseball subjects and are later fantasy creations made by dealers or collectors put on non-sports displays. I have never seen one with baseball players that looks right.

In the above example you can clearly see where another leather was removed and a different shaped leather was put in its place, also the T3 replaced Hamilton King girl cabinets and most likely the S81 was added to replace a flag silk. I’ve had a few long discussions with long time hobby dealers and all have agreed or said the same thing…that these are most likely not original period as issued items.

Cheers,

John

Jon, Here is mine that I bought from a fellow collector.

http://photos.imageevent.com/piojohn3/net54shared/huge/turkish1.jpg

I really think these baseball ones were either found empty due to time and damage and baseball issues were added in the thought that they may have been issued like that. Or they were found and the Non-Sports items were removed and baseball added in an order to make the item more valuable.

Another interesting note is on all of these that I have seen the cabinet card items (T7-6’s) are not production T7’s they are a thin piece of the T7 art placed on a thicker piece of paper sort a mock version of the later production T7’s.

http://photos.imageevent.com/piojohn3/net54shared/large/turkish13.jpg

My guess and this is purely an educated guess is that when these store display pieces were created they had not begun production of the T7-6’s (Bathing & Athletic Girls). All that I have seen that seem to be period feature T7-6 images. These if you follow the redemption coupons were issued around 1913 well after T3’s. So think these store displays were towards the tail end after T3’s etc.

I really think that all you are buying when it comes to these baseball versions are fantasy pieces and one should value them as a destroyed non-sport piece with glued S81, T3 and L1’s attached so the total value should be that nothing more. I also think Legendary did a really crappy job of calling this item out as vintage last I checked they weren’t using clear plastic corner mounts in the 1900’s at the very least they didn’t even mention that.

Cheers,

John

Good question Peter. I have seen a photo that sold on eBay quite sometime ago. It was of a Bar that sold smokes and there was a person in the picture sweeping up and there were a pile of t-cards baseball etc. in front of the broom. Simply put folks tossed the cards on the floor. Sadly I didn't save an image I think Dan McKee has an image....

It's difficult to tell for sure from the ads, but I believe they're meant to portray the eventual King George V who became prince of wales on 9 November 1901. Edward VII wanted to prepare him to be king, a preparation Queen Victoria hadn't given Edward.

Once George became king on May 6, 1910 the pun and imagery lost a bit. Especially since the title is not hereditary and the eventual Edward VIII didn't become prince of Wales until 23 June 1911. He also wasn't as popular as George, and much thinner. So holding over a brand based on a pun that no longer made any sense also made little sense.

Just a theory of course.

Once George became king on May 6, 1910 the pun and imagery lost a bit. Especially since the title is not hereditary and the eventual Edward VIII didn't become prince of Wales until 23 June 1911. He also wasn't as popular as George, and much thinner. So holding over a brand based on a pun that no longer made any sense also made little sense.

Just a theory of course.

Close, but no cigar. :D:D:D

El Principe de Gales was the Prince of Wales and future King Edward VII. He was granted the title in 1841 as heir apparent to Queen Victoria, and did not become King until 1901.

He was known internationally as the Playboy Prince, and the perfect representative for a cigar brand since he was also known to be a heavy smoker.

The brand name El Principe de Gales had been in use since the 1850's, pre-dating the future King George V who did not become Prince of Wales until 1901.

Upon King Edward's death in 1910, King George assumed the throne, and the brand name most likely lost its meaning as you theorized.

Wish I could figure out who J.D. Miller was. The "D" ruins the most likely from that era.

John Daniel Miller b. Sept 5 1895 d. March 15 1966 lived in Newton many years.

Upon King Edward's death in 1910, King George assumed the throne, and the brand name most likely lost its meaning as you theorized.

I had a feeling it was actually Edward. Sort of odd that they kept the brand going so long after he became king, but I suppose if sales stayed good there wasn't much reason to change. From the photos I've seen George had a similar look, so maybe it still made some sense until 1910.

I had a quick look at some stamp series, and the Canadian stamps of Georges reign are called the admirals, mostly because the depict him in his admiral of the fleet uniform, a theme that turns up in the ads. So the transition was probably an easy one.
Both Edward and George were admiral of the navy, a largely ceremonial title that could be held by more than one person, and was occasionally held by a foreign leader like Czar Nicholas. And of the royal family the only one holding the title without having naval service was Edward VII - Something I didn't know before looking it up.

This stuff can be a lot of fun, and not just for learning about baseball :D

Thanks for some interesting bit of history regarding the EPDG brand.

I notced that in the 1911 divestiture of the American Tobacco Company (ATC), the EPDG brand was
not assigned to any of the three resulting Tobacco Company's (ATC....Liggett & Meyers....Lorillard).

Not sure how this one survived on eBay.... although I'm sure there are more out there, this is only the 2nd Yum Yum I've seen that relates directly to the card issue (i.e., we know that cards were packaged in the cubed tins). When this arrives, I'm hoping there might be remnants of the baseball card advertising band left (doubt it, but hopeful!).

These are obviously more modern but I think they are fun nonetheless. When I purchased the Stengel Durocher die cut counter display I was told that it was issued to store owners in New York in the fall of 1951. The Fernando item was produced in Mexico in 1981. I miss Fernando. Although I am always proud of my roots, being a Mexican American was especially meaningful that summer.

"Watching Fernando Valenzuela force himself into a Los Angeles Dodgers uniform is something like seeing Kate Smith struggling to fit into a pair of Brooke Shields' designer jeans." - Sportswriter H.G. Reza in the San Francisco Chronicle (1981)

I am fascinated with 1900-1910 era posters, and am interested in buying if anyone is selling Piedmont/Sweet Cap/Hassan/Murad/Sovereign or related posters (I don't mean to hijack the thread). If so, please PM me.

Didn't I get my (original) GQ pack from you, 10+ yrs ago? Have only seen one other and a board member has it. I sold it to him about 5 yrs ago and got it off of ebay. He paid a hefty price for it too.....as, if memory serves me, I did too on my original one. One of the only packs I have seen with the date on the inside of it.

I agree with you....upon close observation of some of the planes in this set, I see what appears to me as early WWII British Fighter planes.

Thanks for the compliment on the Crofts advertising piece. Here are a couple of bottles that go along with it.

The smaller one I picked up fairly recently. It is the first time that I have ever seen a smaller Crofts Cocoa bottle with the label in tact.

The best part of the purchase is that about 1/3 of the bottle is still full of 100 year old Cocoa crystals. In case you are wondering, no I don't have the heart (or stomach) to dump them into a glass of milk and see how it tastes. :)

good old fashioned legwork and study of asking and selling prices at auctions and shows and a pricing guide or two. Your folding trade card is fairly common. It comes with a few different backs including at least one with a base ball stamping. It looks to be in very nice shape. Fairly big spread even in nice condition as yours appears - 35. - 75. depending on the usual auction/sale factors - think ones with the BB stamping would be most desired.........

no guarantees whether written or implied

The scan of this uncut 1934 GOUDEY (34G) sheet is of a photo I snapped of it back in 1981. Good ole long time collector/dealer and close friend, Bill Bossert,
invited me to his BB card shop in Swarthmore, PA. Bill and I were avid uncut sheet collectors, and he wanted me to check-out this 34G sheet that Rob Lifson
loaned to him for Bill's article in Krause's Spring issue of the Baseball Card Magazine.

This 25-card sheet was reasonably priced in 1981. I was tempted to acquire it. However, my daughter Debbie had just started College. And her tuition costs
were a higher priority to me at that time than my owning a 47-year old piece of cardboard.

This Cracker Jack ad ran throughout 1914, which places it during
the tension in Europe just before and at the beginning of WW I.

As card collectors we all know this ad also ran during the first
baseball card set issued by Cracker Jack. Note the reference to
"each package will be found a novelty or toy to delight and amuse
the little folks."

Oh, what it would have been like to have been around during the
year 1914!

Fall of 1952, BOWMAN issued a very artistic 144-card FB set. In order to compete with the very popular larger size 1952 Topps BB cards, Bowman re-sized
their regular set of FB cards. Then re-issued these larger size cards circa....Fall/Winter of '52.

Shown here is a very rare 32-card uncut sheet of the (1st series) Bowman "GIANT SIZE" cards. Major stars on this sheet are Sammy Baugh, Otto Graham,
Y. A. Tittle, Charlie Justice, Charley Trippi, Hugh McElhenny, and Frank Gifford (rookie card).



http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan77/images/1952BFBsheetLarge19x.jpg



This sheet is quite unique. Veteran FB card collectors cannot recall having seen a Bowman FB (large cards version) sheet such as this one in the past 34 years.
I acquired this sheet in 1982 at a Hobby shop in Media, Pennsylvania.

Thanks for the compliment.

This FB card sheet is one of my favorite pieces in the post-war part of my Sportscard collection.

From an obscure small pamphlet/magazine from 1922, the "LITTLE DELINEATOR", is an advertisement for Babe Ruth. On page 5 is a chance to win an autographed bat and ball by Babe Ruth. All you had to do was send in correct answers and "most interesting short letter on Baseball".

That might be one of my favorite ads of all time

Agree, not sure if we knew where the Fan for Fan's came from before seeing that ad? That is awesome.

Crappy picture but I finally got this in yesterday. SOOO excited to add it to the Campy collection. It's been the top item on my wish list since I saw one in Baltimore in '09.

Not exactly sure. They are factory cut tabs (and the ones on the left and right are missing). My guess is that folded into a panel on the back so that it could stand up. But if anyone knows for sure or has another idea please let me know!

Here is another Yogi piece. Its a 1951 US Treasury Signed Poster. I have heard that they were displayed in banks and post offices?

agreed.

David, here's another 'Pet' advertising card. It looks like you collect this stuff - if you need this one, drop me a PM and your address, and I'll mail it to you.

Disclaimer - this assumes I can find it. I found a scan and don't remember selling it, so it's probably around here somewhere.
