Lucky Strike & Tuxedo Trolley Signs
 

Posted By: <b>Bert Wright</b><p>I'd like to make a checklist of sorts of all the Lucky Strike trolley signs (not die cut) depicting sports figures. Here's what I have so far:<br />Heilmann<br />P. Waner<br />L. Waner<br />Lazzeri<br />Grove<br />Tim Callahan (football)<br />Sarazen (golf)<br />Hagen (golf)<br />Farrell (golf)<br />Alex Smith (golf)<br />Helen Wainwright (swimming)<br />Pony McAtee (jockey)<br />Laverne Fator (jockey)<br /><br />Does anyone know of any others? Better yet, does anyone have a scan of any others?<br /><br />Let's include Tuxedo trolley signs:<br />Mathewson<br />McGraw<br />Gowdy<br />W. Johnson

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>I just sold a Walter Hagen a couple months back.<br /><br />I wonder if that Hughie Jennings one isn't from Canada? Looks like a lot of that stuff in Hunt's was found in Canada, but it doesn't mention it on the writeup.<br />

Posted By: <b>Matt</b><p>Mathewson, McGraw and Johnson are the trolley car versions that I know exist. I've never seen a Gowdy Trolley car version, just a regular version. Dick Rudolf also exists in regular form.<br />Matt

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Does anyone think this Tuxedo sign just doesn't look right? Anyone know where it came from? How many like it have been sold in the past?<br /> <br /><br /><img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/553.jpg">

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Too hard to tell from the scan....I have been fooled on ad pieces several times from scans.....Just from the scan it looks ok to me....but again, I have been fooled before...and this isn't my area of expertise (if I even have one)....regards

Posted By: <b>Bert Wright</b><p>All I know is that it looks nothing like the other Tuxedo ads of the time. The whole sign has a sort of airbrushed appearance but I think I did see that it had been restored. My guess is that it's good and rare without the attn to detail as the others. I also don't think anyone would recently produce something as vintage when it doesn't conform to the "norm".

Posted By: <b>Bert Wright</b><p>Thanks, Jerry. I had forgotten about that one! Dan,<br />is your Hagen of a smaller size than 21x11? I used to have a smaller Sarazen about 7x9 (?) and that was the only other smaller version I had ever seen.<br /><br />I usually don't regret selling items, but this is an exception: a giant 6 ft x 3ft canvas-like paper banner. I only know of one other and that is of Lefty Grove in a Colorado collector's home. I wonder where they were displayed and how many are out there.<br /><br /><img src="http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd158/redsox1718/Wanerfullbanner.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>I don't remember the exact size of the Hagen, but 7x11 sounds about right...I picked it up at an antique show in Lincoln.
