I'm reviving this thread to post a few of the non-sports items I've added to my collection in 2012. Hope you enjoy them.

First, an amazing 1934 Whitman Children's Books store display rack, stocked with a few of the books that would have graced it back in the day. I know of no other surviving examples of the rack, which is 36" wide, 36" tall and 14" deep.



Next, an old double-sided department store fixture for 75 cent hardback books. It is 66" tall, 34" wide and 20" deep. Makes a great showcase for those colorful dust jackets of the 1930s.



Finally, here's my 1937 Wurlitzer Model 616A Jukebox, modified and streamlined in the early 1940s. It's currently undergoing a full restoration; hopefully it will be back by Christmas!
