I've had this piece for several years and have not been able to find out anything about it. It appears to be part of some sort of display for sporting goods or some baseball related product, featuring Eddie Collins. It is made of thick cardboard/posterboard stock and was made to be folded lengthwise. Size is approximately 20 X 14. Any help you can give as to what it is and a time period would be greatly appreciated.

Carstairs Whiskey ad sign. From the 50's.

John, I can't rightly say where the piece originates, but you can be sure that the image of Collins is from a Conlon photograph. If I remember, that particular shot is from 1916, so I guess it wouldn't be from before then!

Maybe the others can help out more.

Brock,

Thanks much for the information. I had pretty much reached a dead end on it and now wish I had posted a long time ago.
