Thank you Jon. Much appreciated!!

What a fun thread! I recently picked up this folio of Fatima ads. I'd say circa 1920. Eight ads mounted onto pretty stiff cardboard and bound. Also a pretty large Sovereign ad.

Jon - great, K-bats piece! Congrats! Tony - great Pirate fan. What an oddball piece!

Here's two in my collection.

[canjond]

Excited to pick this up. After a lot of searching, I believe this may be the correct packaging for "Punch" cigarettes. The pack below has a full 1912 tax stamp, so also makes it period.

Congrats, Jon! That's the best post in this thread!

Topps Counter Display - 1950

Can you share a ballpark price on that Topps gum grouping? I've resisted selling mine for the past 20 years although I managed to sell enough pieces out of the box to pay for the whole thing :-) Neat piece....

[pokerplyr80]

Lots of great stuff there. I love that the Topps gum is marked 1 cent each, or 5 for 5 cents. Gotta love a discount for buying in bulk.

[bobfreedman]

The size is approx. 13" x 17" and while missing the tri-fold piece on the back and someone put a hole in the center to hang the ad is otherwise in great shape.

I am not sure what the market price for this item would be? Have not seen any that were placed up for sale. Could be $500 but not certain. What do you think?

This continues to be one of my favorite threads here. Just in:

Original counter display - Dukes Tobacco







Original proof advertisement - El Principe De Gales (Now off to the framer)

[1880nonsports]

You're lucky I was in the casino longer than anticipated and slept the El Principe piece..... :-) Nice one.....
and speaking of silly - I won the HLC carton in Heritage - for some reason I was moving a bit fast - and thought it was TWO cases - still happy to have it even if I paid too much.

[1880nonsports]

based on your pictures - it appears you are a bit more feminine than I imagined............

Thanks Henry, very good to hear from you my friend. By the way my nail polish by choice is white on Friday evenings, but I revert back to red Saturday through Thursday.

Here's a companion to the Topps Gum pieces, or should I say pieces of gum, displayed earlier in the thread:

[canjond]

A couple pickups over the last few weeks... The Piedmont piece is a fairly large (almost 4 feet) silk banner; purchased from a board member.

[bobfreedman]

Pleased with this

[canjond]

Happy to pick up this 10-ct Cycle.

[1880nonsports]

I was your underbidder - I guess I owe you about 700.00. Just no room for another banner :-) How many people were in attendance?

No worries, I was glad to win this for what I did. The Red Man posters were beautiful. I was initially going after the Home Run and Bambino tins but could not bring myself to go that high.

[wonkaticket]

Bob, very nice sorry I missed it. If and when you're ready to turn a profit keep me in mind. I would very much like to make an offer.

Congrats.

Cheers,

John

[1880nonsports]

MOTHERS HIDE YOUR CHILDREN

[wonkaticket]

Hope you're doing well when your not shutting down casinos give me a ring love to catch up.

Cheers,

I picked this up not too long ago and since this is one of my favorite threads, I thought I would go ahead and post now...

[khkco4bls]

Here are my cigar boxes and Metal advertising sign for cigars. last one the pipe is from 1895 even though it's not an advertising piece I figured I'd include it

[phlflyer1]

Here are a couple of more Croft & Allen related items that I've managed to pick up in the last year or so.

Was happy to add the jar with the wire lid to my other Croft & Allen jars as I hadn't seen one previously.

[canjond]

Hard to top Kevin's collection, but this is the only copy of this style of "Home Run Cigars" I've ever seen (please excuse the poor scan). Was happy to win it at auction a few years back.

One other recent (and interesting) pick-up. Below is a shipping crate from Drum granulated tobacco. As many are probably aware, Drum tobacco was a companion piece to Drum cigarettes (which contained T206 and T205 backed cards), both being made by the American Tobacco Company. The great thing about this shipping crate is that many years ago, someone made the box into a cabinet. I thought it was too cool to pass up. Note that the drawers are also from Drum tobacco crates.

Below for reference (they are not mine) is Leon's old counter top display, and a Drum tobacco pouch.

That is a great "re-purposing" Drum cabinet piece, Jon. The only question is, will you use it as intended?

[canjond]

Thanks Leon - I actually think I'm going to use it to store my packs in.

[canjond]

Another new acquisition.

[canjond]

Well, this might be one of my favorite purchases ever. I love the Polar Bear countertop displays, but this is the first time I've ever seen an original shipping crate. Crazy that this stuff survives for 100+ years! Also, note the size... it's huge.

[Leon]

Jon- that is freaking great.

Jon I was watching that too. Congratulations on a great piece.

Your tobacciana collection is great, Tony. I love EPDG stuff and yours is off the freaking charts. Congrats.

This is the bookend piece to Scott's earlier post. The contrast is interesting--Scott's is in pristine condition. This one, as seen, is well loved and handled--with various attachments (Ramly labels) and printing throughout. As seen in the bottom right, no love given to future HOFer Harry Hooper, with his name misspelled as Hopper. In both cases, the clarity of the photo is incredible, not only with the team but the spectators as well.

That Ramly piece is amazing. Thank you for sharing it......
