Do you ever see sports signs in the background of a photo?
Last Friday I went to a bottle show in Chico California...didn't find much but did pick up this photo of a pool room scene....has kind of an interesting flavor...college type kid with turtleneck sweater and has some kind of GQ thing going on wth the tie....kind of a tough looking gent next to him..Has pennants on the wall...But the main attraction is the Brunswick-Balke-Collender advertising sign hanging from above...that's what made me buy the photo...it's the most classic pool/billiards related advertising sign...I've never seen a photo of one in the background like this.
After the show I moved on to some antiques stores....didn't find too much but did run into a large bust of the Chico State University lion 21 1/2" tall x 19" wide x 15" deep...made of something very heavy, weighed a ton...Big brouhaha when I went to buy it...made an offer...mall called the dealer lady....who said she had the hand holding a beer somewhere in the booth...which changed the whole equation...came down couldn't find...said didn't want to sell till she could find it....left without it...she called me the next day said her son wanted it so couldn't sell it after all LOL...right...faded price tag...rat droppings around it on high up ledge overlooking store...below a few shots of what I saw for the day.
