what little baseball stuff I have is on the shelves or represented by tobacco cards so this is a bit OT. Not on the level of many of the peeps what post here - but it is my little spot. As I looked over my room from my desk this morning - I contemplated going back to bed........ I have no room to put anything while I try and find room for anything. Here's what I woke up to - pretty much the same clutter I've looked at every day. There are worse things I suppose......

Some people may prefer to wake up to the morning sun as it peeks it's head through the tree's and clouds. Me, I much rather wake up to Henry's image every morning.

STUNNING!!

Default thanks for that

I really have no-one to share with anymore. Wastelands of Florida and far from the the fruitful northeast (no real shows or antiqueing here) and not one friend here who collects anything. I'm not one that wants to experience my hobby in issolation - the people and interactions are part of the fuel and story. Add to the equation a wife that really cares little about this stuff (other than it should probaby go) and all the responsibility that comes with an accumulation like this - it's a double-edged sword. My collection is a nice diversion - and feels comfortable - like an old friend - but they are only inanimate things - and they only come to life when they get attention.

Default not base ball but horseshoes - and T206 related :-O

I was asked about this unusual die-cut pair so to further avoid doing anything I really should be doing - I took a few pix...... The store on the approx. 16" x 17" die-cut easily stands alone as a display. The one on the left (approx. 11" x 14") has a strange pair of intersecting manufactured "cuts" or lines suggestive of sumptin - another piece(?) - I'm just not sure what? The pairing of the two is obviously correct for many reasons - it's the manner in which they would have been displayed as well the cuts in the one piece that is a bit mysterious to me. In any event - I've had it 15+ years. I have never removed it from the original framing which quite honestly I REALLY don't like - but I've been unwilling and unable to do anything about it. It's a neat piece and likely one of a kind........

Your collection is captivating. Your diversity of holdings must have taken many years to acquire. You indicate that things are in a bit of chaos--
my paraphrase--but there seem to be undercurrent themes running through
the various displays. Could you illuminate them a bit for us admirers of
such a treasure trove or troves, I should say.
thanks for sharing.
all the best,
barry

I've seen Henry's stuff in person, and it's even more impressive being there. And he hasn't even shown you his rocks and minerals collection yet. Do you have a picture you can share with us?

What's the thing that looks like a wooden bucket?

I don't know, have you seen Henry in the morning...?

Seriously though, very impressive collection, almost to the point that I don't know where to start asking questions. How about this little corner of your room of wonders? I'm curious as to what the clock/giant pocket watch piece is, as well as the two gentlemen to the left of it. And for that matter, the origins of the cabinet they are housed in, which looks to be the perfect place to display all of these tobacco-related pieces.

Default thanks for looking and asking questions

it gives me an excuse to look at my stuff :-) In no particular order other than leaving an ethics professor's question for last... Waking up and being me is hard enough - I wouldn't want to see it either.
The Lorillard cabinet houses one of four advertising clocks I own. When I was more active in baseball memorabilia I owned one of the Ruth watches in the original container but that was then.... It's a table windup and the letters spell Mayo's tobacco. I also have a large Thomas/Baird plug advertising pendulum clock (probably looking to trade/sell it), a porcelain Pirate Cigarettes clock (unsure if it's a fantasy - anyone?), and a large bull durham counter-top winding clock in the shape of a huge Durham sack with cloth (pictured in the other Lorrilard cabinet). Shameless "plug" - I'm looking for only one more clock - table wind with color advertising for friendship cut plug - but then maybe I shouldn't be posting on a BASEBALL forum :-). Next to the Mayo is a large die-cut babe ruthian punchboard that belonged to Mastro and next to that a large pair of baseball Heubachs. I have a few different sizes of these as well as a few tennis ones. Couple not marked and a couple clearly aren't heubach but nearly everyone SELLING THEM attributes the figures to them because they bring more money even if they aren't.
The wooden bucket is is for Telegram tobacco and it retains nearly all of it's original "caddy" label and all of the hardware and top. It measures about 11" wide and 13" tall. It predates 1900 and the graphics are quite strong. It held 1/3 gross of Spaulding and Merrick's fine cut tobacco. It was shipped to a business in (I kid you not) Spiceland Indiana where a tobacconist likely displayed it (think old country store) as well as doled it out. There is a hinged top that allows easy access.
The Lorrilard cabinet has an interesting history. It was provided to purveyors that bought minimum amounts of their tobacco products - I believe over the course of a year. There's a folding trade card that spells out all the terms although most often only a single page of the three page card is encountered - I have it somewhere. The cabinets come up for sale in various sport and/or advertising auctions once or twice in most years. There are few different styles - some more elaborate than others - historically the range 1500. - 4500..
Barry - nice of you to say - thanks! I must get up to the slope before it disappears altogether! Unfortunately this beast-o-mine keeps growing but I've sold a few things and ready to sell a few more as I have no room to walk around. As for the gems and minerals I'll try and grab a few pix later but they're nothing near as nice as in Barry's aging mind. Sports, non-sports, gems and minerals - I'm like a mini chad but with champaigne taste and caviar dreams on a budget......

Amazing stuff... and so tastefully displayed!

But if you aren't displaying your Piedmont Baseball Fan (and it's just stashed away) I know of a wonderful new home for it

I looked pretty closely, and couldn't see it... hint.. hint

Default obviously you are not fond enough

of the baseball fan or you would have seen it just under the Ginter tray and to the right of the Fatima statue - partially obscured by the lamp :-) I promise if I ever decide to let it go - if you haven't found one and still want one - it's yours. I've seen 4/5 over the years and that's without looking for one.
