These pieces bring back some wonderful childhood memories of the late 70's Yankees teams I grew up watching and loving.

I remember seeing that ad in my Burger King and I used to snatch up cards upon every visit. That helped intensify my love for baseball cards. Baseball cards and french fries :p

Any Reggie piece is one that opens my eye. I do hope to one day own a=some of the Reggie Bar ads.

That Roy White piece is spectacular!

Mike

Thanks Mike!

Curtiss Candy Company Baby Ruth glove promotional sign and my corresponding Baby Ruth display...

Mickey Mantle Armour Franks Glove Premium
1960's
Jerry Sage

Love that Mantle glove display!

Mike

Baby Ruth and Butterfingers
 

Really like the display pieces. These two products are near and dear to me. When I first started working I started with a company that stored for Standard Brands which Baby Ruth and Butterfingers were a part of. At some point it was sold to Nabisco which we also housed. I worked for the company that warehoused the items till Nestle purchased the product; I think it was in the early 90's. Very cool items!

Jerry,

Very nice items and love the way you have them displayed.

So many great advertising pieces on this thread! Keep em coming. Here's my Moxie flange sign.

Mickey Mantle Armour Franks Baseball Glove Premium
 

Thanks Mark.
I have consigned these items to Lelands and they will be in their November Auction
Jerry Sage

A couple Minnesota Twins/Hamm's Beer items.

Great Twins Ads!

Mike

Here are a couple more.

My dad drank Stroh's. I'm not sure I would consider it "great beer." :p

Adv.
 

It's Friday and I'm off of work so I'll keep the thread going...

By the way I really don't like the standup and don't have it displayed, but it did have Brooks on it so I did pick it up years ago. I guess I display it in the closet.

AND I can't get the picture straight!

OMG! Great 80s haircut; great 80s beer (which is back and I drink :p )

AND how bout the '80's jacket (you can't beat a white jacket w/the classy patch).

Isn't that Evil Knievel? :p

Tony Oliva
 

I didn't mention it before, but I really like the Tony Oliva AAA poster ad. "Almost" makes me want to be a Twins fan.

Cracker Jack OTG
 

"Kinda" an ad!

This thread is fantastic! I love advertising pieces, my collection is mostly 70's to 90's. Here are a few of my favorites:

Mark, Stunning Cracker Jack piece.

Abe, love those 70's pieces. That Lew Alcindor one may be my favorite of the bunch. I believe there is a Walt Frazier one also. I'd love to get my hands on it.

Mike

That Gary Carter Brooks ad is top notch 👌🏼

That's what I love about advertising. So many great pieces come up that I never knew existed! Sweet stuff everybody!

This is a great thread! Love seeing everything!

Here are some more of mine. It stinks that somebody had JSA slap their sticker on the front of the Panasonic display, but what can ya do. Lastly, I need to round out my post with a modern one 😏 Every shoe collector's dream... the display that went with the shoe on release day!

Really interesting stuff guys. This has to be my favorite net54 thread. Oh and one final thing, non glare glass is much less frustrating to photograph :rolleyes:

Ads
 

While I like all the ads you posted I especially like the Carter Brooks shoe ad, what a great poster setup, and the Staubach piece which just screams of a different era.

I enjoy '70's through '90's; keep 'em coming...

Derek,

Of course the Brooks Rawlings is my favorite (mine's on pg. 5; no auto). If you ever get tired of the poster ad let me know.

Gotta love the Reggie ads!

Michael,

You're killing me with these great pieces. The color on that Marathon ad is fantastic; love it!

Ripken
 

Small Rip ad.

Thanks Mark! If you have never seen the Marathon beer sign up close, the green background is made of felt. I don't know if their other signs were made similarly or not but on a baseball themed sign it resembles freshly cut stadium grass :)

Derek, I am in awe of your Reggie pieces and am currently drooling on my keyboard.

Mike

Hey Derek, I owned both of those Reggie items at one time! If you ever want to let go of the Reggie bar piece let me know, that's one of the few pieces I've ever sold that I really miss.

Thanks for the kind words guys. I will post a few more tonight, I've got a lot of Gary Carter ad posters and displays as well as a few more Staubach's.

I enjoyed viewing everyone's ad pieces!
 

Mine are pretty much easy to attain.

The Helmar is a recent pickup.

https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads...mtl3grswps.jpg

The Turkey Red and Egyptienne Straights are favorites of mine.

https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads...89od6d2ci6.jpg

I couldn't resist the Pabst display since it went really cheap - no one wanted it - think I paid 24 bucks for it. And, again, another favorite - the Piedmont chair.

https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads...u3otwrtnc6.jpg

I had closeups of these on photo bucket - a real friend to collectors - so I'm gonna have to find another way to post in the future where a web doesn't "host" them.

A few more
 

This one is a 'double sided' die cut heavy stock cardboard and a favorite with the Yanks fans.

I've seen these a few times, but this one was especially pristine so the bidding was heavy - I remembering thinking I "paid too much for this!"

https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads...slljdxzzp.jpeg

https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads...8m95qok7q.jpeg

and here's a Helmar cardboard sign - the white doesn't "blue" with a black light, so we know it's earlier than the 50s.

https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads...oqs8z6g2h8.jpg

Mike, the Knickerbocker sign is very cool.

Here are a few more of mine:

Mike, my jaw hit the floor when I saw that Yankees Knickerbockers Ad. Owning anything Knickerbockers related to the Yankees is a dream because they were both owned by the same owner, Col. Jacob Ruppert. Plus it looks to be in fantastic shape.

Mike

I think this one is my favorite

Abe,

Love those Bernie Williams ads.

I have often thought about trying to pry an ad off when I see a Yankees one in the subways, train stations or buses, lol.

Mike

Mike, I actually have a few old subway posters, they are huge so I haven't been able to display them yet, will dig some out to take pictures at some point. I agree with you though, every time I see a cool advertising piece I try to figure out how to get my hands on it!

I need one of those Brooks Robinson Rawlings posters. Those are fantastic!

B. Robby
 

I've never seen the particular Marathon sign. When I saw the item it reminded me of a picture of Brooks from the '70 WS taken by Mort Tadder. It was the first WS played on artificial surface (astroturf) at the new Riverfront Stadium. The picture I took doesn't do it justice, but it has a cool looking background. Unsure why some of these pictures are sideways; sorry.

Thanx to Abe also.

Hiya Mike - I agree!

This item came out of a NY dealer - I've never seen one in this kind of shape - don't remember what I paid, but I'll bet it was in the 300 buck range for sure.

And, (edit), I just looked up the auction invoice online - it was a whopping $393!

I guess I must've wanted it bad - it was back in 2010.

Enjoyed all of the items you pictured. Would love to see the room you have going on there. Looks really neat and organized (unlike my room). By the way, what color did you use for the walls? I have a grayish wall, but that looks even better.

Hiya Mark

I'm in the middle of finishing up a room in the back and then reorganizing the front office.

The back - waiting for the flooring to come in.

https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads...f2vldpiycm.jpg

https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads...gzn6ieo2kw.jpg

https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads...5dlql9pddd.jpg

Instead of blinds, shutters painted the same as the wall is going it - so as not to distract from the shelving.

I don't have a lot of pics of the front office right now - it's really in a temporary state - I have GU bats and jerseys - and haven't decided what I'm going to do with them yet?

https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads...dlka311v01.jpg

I checked the bottle of left over paint from the painter: it's Sherwin Williams Kaffee 6104 - it's a dark brown color; the back room is a dark beige color.

U of W Football
 

I just got this back from the U of W Husky Hall of Fame, where it has been displayed since 2002. They made a quality full sized copy for the display and gave me back the original. It is around 2 1/2 x 3 feet on thick board.

Go Dawgs!

Mike, that set up is going to look pretty nice once it's all done.

Mike

Mike,

Both rooms look amazing (even w/o the flooring in the one room). I like how the colors contrast really well. I'm trying to do something similar in my room/den. I used to have pictures all over the place covering every square inch; now I'm doing it where it's a bit more organized and somewhat professional looking. It's still a little cluttered in areas, but it's definitely better. Would love to see the room after it's finished and all of those built-ins and shelves have display pieces.

And I though the Boyd sign was nice and now the U of W Olympic Gasoline; very nice!

Agree... that UW Sign is off the charts. Love the leather helmets and Bumble Bee Sleeves. And what a cool football scene!

Dave-
Do you know the exact year?

Simply gorgeous!

U of W
 

Hi Mark,

The sign is from 1926. Glad you like it!

Here's another cool early U of W football item, a pillowcase with the original price tag from The Bon Marche (now Macy's for you non-Seattleites) still attached.

Not really an "advertising sign", sorry kids :rolleyes:

Man, I LOVE stuff like that ^^^^ that has survived with original tags or whatever. Fantastic!

Here's something not so fantastic :p

Cardboard standup with John "the Count" Montefusco.

Schmidt's Beer ephemera. They must have done all the teams.

Another high quality beer :p

Folgers did a lot of Giants stuff in the sixties....

Main picture is Candlestick; inset is the Oakland Coliseum.

I forgot about this little survivor. It has a blow out on the seam. Anyone know a balloon restorer? :p

"Bye Bye Baby" was Russ Hodges' home run call and later made into the Giants Fight Song; a cheesey little ditty akin to "Meet the Mets." In the Giants' last season at Candlestick, "Bye Bye Baby" was incorporated into a lot of their advertising.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_jopBXcbxk

The U of W pillowcase is very nice as well. Not as nice as the football piece, but still probably nicer than anything I have 😳

Also, I'd justify this being an advertising piece; it's plugging the school.

Calendars
 

Rob,

"Really" like the calendars you posted. Looks like you have quite a few. Also, I think earlier in the thread you posted others. Wish the O's would have done more (maybe they did and I don't know about them). Makes for nice displays in my opinion especially when it lists the year.

With
 

This is a W.I.T.H. Radio advertising piece for the Orioles.

Will get back when room is done
 

Thanx Mark and Mike (yankee) for the kind words.

The hard thing is to get as much of one's stuff out there without it just being too cluttered.

I stink at that.

My wife has been offering her assistance.

I was given this...always nice!

This shows the graphics work done to produce a couple of Giants themed Budweiser ads. In both cases, there are graphics on board, overlaid with refinements on "mylar" and more refinements on a vellum sheet.

Allen and Ginter
 

Dude?

Nice snag Bob!
 

Never saw that one before (or in Heritage for that matter). I thought it might have been Wonka anyway........

Rob, your Giants pieces are always a treat to look at.

Mark same with your O's pieces (and that's hard for this Yankees fan to admit :p:p)

I wish I could find pieces like that for the Yankees. Yankees pieces go for a lot of money here. I have patience and will continue the hunt.

What's everyone thoughts on vintage magazine pages with ads? I have seen collectors carefully remove the pages and frame them up and have been thinking about rummaging through flea markets on the hunt for such ads.

Mike

Haha. That's amazing.

Great pieces Chris!
I love the Hornung milk advertisement.

1922 Coca Cola

That's an awesome Coke ad. There must be something wrong with me, though. For a while there, I didn't notice that there was a baseball game going on in the background.

Holy Packer goodies! Nice advertisements!

Mike

Incredible Packers collection!

Congrats
 

Babe Ruth Jeanwear
 

Hardball Jeans

^^^^ That signature doesn't look "right" to me. :p
