Greg- that Diamond Brand is a beauty. Is it circa 1910?

Edited to say it looks like 1909 World Series, with Detroit and Pittsburgh.

Thanks Barry, you're right on the date.
This was a piece sent to a retailers to entice them to put the full size Diamond Brand display in their window. It was a three dimensional piece -- 28 x 40 and ten inches deep, with cardboard cutouts of the players at their positions -- I have never seen one.

Here are a couple more pieces.

Awesome stuff Greg.... your collection is amazing. Thanks for posting all of those great pieces!

You would think i would ahve a great chance to find one of those Peach posters considering i live 10 minutes from Gloversville but i come across nothing dealing with the company, only thing i know is where the old factory was.

Thanks Mark -- it's fun finally being able to show some stuff.

Here are a couple of ad pieces from sporting goods stores. The Mays bat is a giant bat (appropriately enough) -- well over four feet long.

Greg, awesome pieces. Thanks for sharing.

Clint

I went to school in Johnstown (which is about 2 miles from Gloversville) and never came across a Peach poster either although I always looked. Also, I co-founded the Fulton Montgomery Sports Historical Society (the museum is now in Gloversville) and we did find some information on Peach but no equipment to display.

Jon,
I went to the museum two weeks ago to see the baseball stuff. It was good to see different baseball things from around the area.

Home Run Cigarettes Circa 1910... the 12X18 version.

The Colors are incredible.

Anyone ever notice that the T206 Johnny Evers With Bat, Chicago on Shirt has the EXACT same background as this Home Run poster?

Great Home Run poster -- I like the fact that you have it in an antique frame.

Home Run Cigs Poster
 

Hi Jacksons,
When you say "the 12x18 version", does that mean you know of another size that was produced?

FYI, I featured that Home Run Cigs poster on my Sports Antique of the Week May 31st-June 10th 2009. Below the link if you haven't seen it already.

Ricky..
Nice piece.. How big is it?
Matt

Matt,

It's framed to size of 29x21. I like it because it has a product, portrait and an action shot all in one piece.

Ricky Y

Just a tremendous piece Ricky! Thanks for sharing it.
 

Here's a nice little piece I just picked up... a GPC used as an early form of "junk mail" from the mid-thirties featuring Mickey Cochrane.

My pleasure, Jimmy! While we're talking cereal...a late 1930s Wheaties Baseball Broadcasts store poster and two complete 1937 single-serve cereal boxes (and the Huskies box still has the cereal inside!).

Sports Illustrated ad with Goudeys
 

Page from inside magazine.

Crowd & Scoreboard at Briggs Stadium 1950 Original Negative

I owned the one that was sold in the REA auction. The only other one I have seen in 30 years was the Barry Halper one. I think your poster would really benefit from a high quality restoration. Anyway, it's a fantastic display!

!964 Volpe advertisement
 

These banners were displayed in 1964 outside Union 76 gas stations in Los Angeles, promoting 8"x10" pictures of various Dodger players given away at the stations with a minumum puchase. It measures a whopping 3 1/2' x 7', and is made out of linen. Never seen another one survive, and being a picture of Sandy Koufax makes it even more unique.

I love this piece
 

------------------------------------------------
"Junk mail" 80 years ago is pretty interesting. This tire salesman/owner was ahead of his time that is for sure. Cool find Jimmy.

That Dodgers banner with Koufax is incredible!

-Ryan

Thanks Ryan. The Koufax banner had water damage on the edge and some mold issues, so I ended up paying more to a professional conservator to clean and stabilize it than i originally payed to acquire it. But since I mainly collect Koufax items it was well worth it.

Rick

Hi Rick,

I'm glad you posted that banner. I have one the same size for Cleveland Indians Volpe cups from the same era. When I get home later I'll try to snap a photo and post it. Nice to see that another one of these -- albeit not advertising the same giveaway -- survived.

Rob

Here are a few photos of a really interesting JA Peach "snap heel" fielder's glove with its patent. The topic of Peach advertising and gloves were discussed earlier in the thread.

Recent REA pickup... I liked the colors, combined with the Carl Horner portraits, the D&M Logo and the cartoonish mascots at the bottom...

Cleveland Indians Volpe cup / gasoline station advertising banner, similar to Rick's for the Volpe photos:

I wish the condition was better, but I've never seen another.

Webers Bread D304!
 

Here is a great advertisement for Webers "Mity-Nice" Bread!

Volpe banners
 

rob, yours looks to be in nice condition, great graphics. I don't believe they started with the Volpe cups in L.A. until 1965.

Nice to know at least 2 of these outdoor banners survived.

Rick

Here are a couple of my favorites...

My favorite ad
 

This is an original 1907 Collier's Magazine Coca Cola ad featuring Lajoie and Wadell. It was a full page ad and is in better condition than the photo demonstrates.

I wish I had large cardboard or tin signs, but they are very hard to find.

Nolan knows Rhino
 

Not vintage, but definitely oddball as this is the only one that I've ever seen. I've always liked this one. Nolan Ryan hawking Rhino brand huge farm equipment. As you can see, the bi-line is "Some things are just built tougher than others." BTW- Poster is circa 1990.

Paul,
Great stuff!
I noticed this especially because of the presence of Gehrig.
It's interesting that the tag line is "Joe McCarthy and a host of Memories" but there is no Dimaggio pictured. Ruth, Gehrig, Rizzuto, Keller, Crosetti, even one behind Gehrig that looks a little like Mantle, plus a few others that I can't immediately place are all there, but no Dimaggio. Strange!
Nonetheless, it's a beaut:D

Calendar Print?
 

I believe that McCarthy yankees piece was to be used as the print as the header on a calendar. I have had it like 15 years and found it in mint condition.

Arrived late last week....

What's the D & M sign an ad for? I can't quite read the small print under the logo.

I love the Peach glove display. Anyone know what dimensions of it are? Does the owner want to sell??
Thanks

From the National 3 years ago.

Red rock cola
 

Dell,

I don't like being the bearer of bad news, and maybe you already know this, but I'm 99 percent sure that's a fantasy piece. Not really a reproduction in the true sense of the word, because there was never an original piece like that. It's a modern creation. Others can check in with their thoughts. I hope I'm wrong.

Best,

Rob

You are correct Rob. I didn't want to be the bearer of bad news, but I would want to know.

1950s Collier's Ad Bob Feller
 

1950s Collier's Bob Feller Ad. I'm guessing this was for a book, but I've never seen the book before.

Not baseball but it is one of my all-time favorite ad pieces:

http://photos.imageevent.com/exhibit...%20Dempsey.jpg

That Dempsey piece is fantastic!!! Thanks for posting. I can't speak for all members, but many of us love seeing pieces from other sports. We simply don't collect them, because we don't have limitless resources. If I did...I would collect multiple sports:D

I want to see more!:D

dimensions?
 

ExhibitMan, What version is yours? there's a little one about 5" I think, and the big one about 3 feet tall which I have in my collection. I saw one at the 2009 National that was a little wiped out that Gary Schultz had that you can see in link below
http://www.sportsantiques.com/09natstorypg14.htm
It's the only boxing diecut sign I can recall...

PS, Jimmy....wow that is one rare Gehrig sign...where the heck you come up with this stuff? phew!

Nice. The condition is unreal. Even where it has chipped it shows no tarnish and aging. congrats.

Keith - Great looking Fatima thermometer. Super condition beauty.

This is one of my favorite subjects, apologies for showing certain pieces again:

Jeez Louise, Bob, stop already!!
That's just crazy good stuff. Game over. :D

Agreed. Wow.

Sweet. I have a thing for advertising score boards.

As a shameless plug, I just threw these up for sale on the BST:

Brooks Robinson - The Equitable
 

I'm unsure if this is my favorite, but always liked the B&W The Equitable poster with "BROOKS! There's nobody else exactly like him." I know they made these for other players as well, but the Brooksie is the coolest to me.

I really like the 7UP scoreboard; very cool. Would love to see a picture of the whole room.

Bob's stuff I don't even have words for...

ls poster circa 1940

Wow there is some beautiful stuff in this thread. Here are my favorite advertising items. Early 60's Drysdale poster, 1951 Chesterfield die cut counter top display, 1950's Bob Feller personal appearance poster and associated Die cut counter top display, and a1953 Fumio Fujimura (HOF) Settsu Brewing Alp Whiskey Advertising Poster
