Hi Tony
 

Your EPDG advertisement is absolutely beautiful.

Thanks for posting it.

I figured this is as good of a place as any to ask the board to keep a lookout for the Polar Bear crate I posted above. It was shipped on November 30 from Ohio, and made it the following day to Mount Olive, NJ where it disappeared. UPS has been "searching" for the crate since December 1 (it weighs 65 lbs and was shipped in a custom-made plywood container on a pallet, so I'm not sure how UPS "lost" the item, but apparently they did). Sad to think this piece may be lost forever, but in the off chance anyone happens to see it somewhere, please let me know.

I won this a couple of months ago and while different ads, the style is very similar using a real photo and a hand painted matted frame..

Jon that's just horrible news. I will most definitely keep an eye out with you.

Let's keep our fingers crossed that it re-appears.

HeyTony

It amazes me to see how active this thread still is. I started it with the same lady in the Turkey Red advertisement as yours.
And, here we are 3 years and 3 months since....and it's still going strong. Keep posting those fantastic adv. of your's.

I hope I don't get laughed out of this thread, with what I have to offer. However, I had the chance to go thru a chest of family members stuff, that had been sealed up since the late 50s. It was mostly WWI, and WWII militaria from my ggreat grandfathers, and grandfather. I admit, that I wanted to rummage thru these boxes, hoping to find baseball cards..but my mom warned me up front..that she didn't think any of her relatives collected sports cards...and none of them that she remembered had ever smoked. It didn't stop me from searching. I've spent the last few days going thru the boxes, and there is some AMAZING war items. A lot of really good/collectible war memoribilia, from letters, postcards, and medals to roadmaps and Nazi pistols, flags, and daggers. Really some interesting stuff, and jhave had a great time learning about my families past.

But at the end of the day..no tobacco baseball cards. Or baseball cards of any kind really. Pretty bummed. However...there were a ton of advertising cards, of sort. Soap, Coffee, cologne etc.... There were about 50 cards in all, from different years ranging from about 1890 to the mid1940s. Nothing really stuck out to me, as having a reason to be valuable..so I just snapped a pic of a handful to share. Once again..don't laugh... but any comments are welcome, and if some reason, theres something there that's worth a small fortune..please let me know. :)

In a neat little Antique shop in Oklahoma last week, I found this Plow Boy Tobacco tin. It's 6" high and 5" in diameter and contained 12 oz. of tobacco.
It's pretty clean for a 100+ year old tobacco tin.

I'm not sure if the circa of this Tin is 1910 - 1912. But, I'm sure Jon C. (or any one else) on this forum can identify the year(s).

We just returned home and I haven't had a chance to photograph it. So for now, the scan of this round object on a flat screen will have to do.

Nice Plow Boy tin Ted. Thanks for sharing...

Here's a unique item. Seems it's one side of a Cracker Jack shipping crate that once transported the caramel treat. Very large in size measuring 33" x 9". Etched into the wood underneath the Cracker Jack name is their infamous slogan, "The more you eat, the more you want". I plan on having a small wooden vintage frame made for it and display it as is.

Very cool Cracker Jack piece, Tony. Framing it sounds like a great idea too. Congrats on the pick up.

ps....Please consider not restoring it, if that were ever considered.

Thank you Leon. In no way will this be restored. I think it's perfect just the way it is. ;)

Fantastic sign Bob!! Had to keep these 5 guys together!

Bob & Michael, those signs are fantastic!!

As I continue to clear out my grandmothers attic, I am finding new and interesting things. I have yet to find any vintage baseball cards, but it doesn't stop me from remaining hopeful. Yesterday, I stumbled across a large cardboard box, that belonged to my great godmother. She was an elementary school teacher, and this box looked as if it were "teaching curriculum" for an entire school year. (Maybe 3rd grade?) Almost everuything in the box was dated anywhere between 1938 to 1943. There were interesting pictures, and cardboard cutouts for decoration, etc...but at the bottom of the box, in two small envelopes were 3 sets of Arm&Hammer bird cards. they are in awesome shape!!! I know that these do not hold much value, and aren't all that highly saught after....it still gives me hope that there is still something there. Either way, thought Id share pics of the Arm&Hammer cards. There are (2) complete series 8 sets, and one series 3 set. I'm guessing from somewhere around 1935?

That is absolutely great looking!!

Original El Principe De Gales counter display which was a striker at one time which would have been used to light the match. You can see the small striker strip on the bottom of the base. Stands nearly a foot tall and made of metal so it's quite heavy.

It's stunning in person.

Just picked up this really cool match striker (?). I've never seen another, so was happy to add it to the collection. It's about 10 inches in length, 5 inches wide, and 4 inches tall.

Very nice Jon. I have one as well. These are the only two I have ever seen. ;)
