Actually 1980 Carlton...
After the Syracuse China Company's I00th anniversary in 1971, you can tell what year a piece was made due to their code. So the back of your plate has 9-?D I can't quite make out what the first letter is after the # 9 possibly also a D. Anyway, their code would be to add the said number "9" in this case to their Centennial year 1971 and you have 1980. The Letter "D" would stand for the piece being made in the fourth quarter of the year.
They shut their doors for good last year and gave their employees a commemorative plate with the markings on the verso stating 38-A. So 38 plus their Centennial year 1971 = 2009 and the "A" means it was made in the first quarter of the year. Damn, they shut the doors after 138 years in business... Regardless Carlton, I think it's a cool looking plate! Best, Jimmy |
Yale Scrapbook
As I was going through the scrapbook I posted yesterday, I noticed one sort of neat thing for N302 Mayo Collectors. Several of the Mayo Yale players appear in the scrapbook on a 1894 Junior Promenade booklet. Both George Adee and Frank Butterworth (who were both in the Mayo set and College All Americans in 1894) were listed on the invitation card as being on the Promenade Committee. Also on the same page is a little booklet, that has lists of names of different male students that I am assuming the Scrapbook owner danced with. The names include Adee, and Butterworth again, as well as Phillip Stillman (also in the Mayo set and an all american). At first I thought they has all signed the booklet, but I think it is all done in the same hand (the owners) Several of the names in the dance booklet corresponded with the owner, and the scrapbook includes signed invitation acceptances from some of them, but I haven't located any signatures of any of the football players yet. The scrapbook is really packed, and it has been pretty neat to dig through it.
There are a couple of ticket stubs that I would like to remove from the scrapbook eventually, but am not sure what the best way to attempt to try this, other than trying to slowly and carefully pull them off. I am guessing that soaking would be a very bad idea, correct? http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...100_2245-1.jpg http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...100_2241-1.jpg http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...100_2242-1.jpg |
shredded
Mark and Jimmy, Thanks for the assist...I sure hope I can get my $9.99 back...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWNX:IT Seriously, I appreciate your scrutiny...I thought it looked a little later and I knew Net54 was the place to find out...that is I knew it would get torn to shreds if it wasn't from 1949...which is fine...I like commercial restaurant plates and especially sports related ones. Jimmy you are encyclopedic! __________________________________________________ ___________ |
It's gotta be a Chicago Athletic Club plate. They were around for nearly 100 years I believe. For $9.99, I'd keep it.
Interestingly, on their web site they used to claim that the Cubs logo was "borrowed" from them. Not true, but it sounded good. |
Red Man Baseball Cap Premium
Those tabs at the bottom of 1950s Red Man baseball cards were redeemable for "a big league style baseball cap". I picked up this nice looking old Cardinals cap yesterday at a local show. It didn't occur to me until I was home that it might just be one of those caps. It's flat....the bill has never been curved...which implied it might have been mailed. Can anyone confirm my theory?

Oh My!
That's Awesome Rick! What a pick-up. Talk about a companion piece. Just great. Now all you need is a vintage pouch of Red Man and a card or two and you'll have built a perfect time machine.

Lou Gehrig Huskies
I bought the envelope and brochure separately, but it seems like they belong together.

Thanks Jimmy,
This and the "Knot Hole" stuff are at the top of my list of things to get over the next few years. This is just great fun to find. Mark |
20th Anniversary Present- lineup card from our first date follow up

We celebrated our anniversary last Saturday at the restaurant that we went to on next date after the Tigers game that I previously told you about. We had a great 3 hour dinner together and it was an exceptional night out to always be remembered. The lineup card that I previously showed was incorporated into a natural cherry wood framed piece with wedding photos, a business card from the restaurant where we went on our second date together (and also where we celebrated our 20th anniversary) as well as a sentimental inscription. She loved it!! I've included some pictures of the final product for those of you that care to look. Thanks! |
Well done scott !!!
Just a tremendous effort on your part to tie everything together. She must have been pretty much speechless when you dropped it on her.
Congrats to the both of you! Sincerely, Jimmy |
Now THAT'S a pick-up - a beautiful piece.
And oh man, Mel Hall? Memories... |
Very nice Scott.
