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. ;)

Tony

The motto.... "THE MORE YOU EAT - THE MORE YOU WANT" ....is one thing they both have in common.

However, the...... "CRACKER JACK" ......label is printed in solid dark letters on the previous box, while
this 2nd box has light (or no color) letters.

So, what am I missing here ?


TED Z
.

Hi Ted. Was only showing that the wooden sign in the picture was simply another wooden sign like the one I have. I wasn't stating that the sign in the photo was my actual sign???

Also, the dark lettering on the sign in the photo is black and white so there is no way to actually confirm what the color really is on that one. Black, red, who knows what it was! The one that I have is faded/aged red.

I just thought the photo was a great companion piece to go alongside my sign. Nothing more.....

Hi Tony

Please continue posting all your great stuff.

1944 World Series Trade Card ? for "Sellinger Display Service"
 

http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/204295...FELSCH_NEW.JPG


... This is not a postcard ; it's the size and thickness but the back is blank. The guy in the suit interviewing Art "Happy" Felsch appears to be Minneapolis Millers/St. Paul Saints radio announcer Jerry Harrington , which makes sense because after all it's the World Series and there's a war on and the big networks filled the press box with microphones and live feeds to every market possible. And that voice sold a lot of Wheaties to a lot of midwestern kids gathered around their radios listening to 'the ballgame'..


...Charlie Sheen played Felsch in "Eight Men Out".....good flick.


...

Very cool. ..

Not sure if these belong here but thought I'd share them and piggy back on Ted's creamy Root Beer sign. :)

Picked up several Tobacco related 100-year old "goodies" at the HOF weekend Cooperstown Show a week ago.

I'll start with this Egyptienne Cigarette pack.

B18 flannels were issued wrapped around Cigarette packs. Shown here is one of the brands which the B18's were associated with.

The Cooperstown Show was full of "oldies but goodies" this year, I purchased this 23 1/2 " x 12 1/2 " x 8 " crate early on Friday morning,
as the Show opened. The price was right, so I dared not procrastinate (as I often do).

As I've already noted....the Cooperstown Show was full of "oldies but goodies" surprises this year. I added this Mayo Tin to my Tobacco
relics collection.
I posted an 1895 Mayo card with it; however, I don't think this Tin is circa 1895. I'm guessing that it's timeline is early 20th Century.

I would appreciate it if some one on this forum can identify the vintage of this Tin ? . Thanks guys......

Who needs some Tailoring done?

In a neat little Antique shop in Oklahoma, I found this Plow Boy Tobacco Tin (circa 1910). Given the condition of it and its price,
it was a must buy.

Back in April, I posted a crude scan of this Tin, so here are some pretty looking scans for you.

Here's a new one. Extremely rare is an understatement - this is only the second Buchner Gold Coin I've ever seen.

One more to share

Jon, that is a crazy good piece

There's a neat trade card
 

for the Gold Coin brand where one could theoretically exchange coupons for a house. I put the GC tin on my list but decided the condition and tangent not compelling enough. Oddly it was also only the second one I've seen! Those that know me are aware of my concentration on Ginter. Here's a neat graduated set of ashtrays for the gold dollar brand. After all I'm 90% a nonsports guy....

You and Burdick, 90% non sports!! Nice tin..

Baseball Card Advertisement
 

This used to belong to Topps Art Director Woody Gelman. I love the advertising pieces but I am especially fond of vintage baseball card advertising pieces

Henry is in pretty good company then.....:)

In 1933, the GOUDEY GUM Company started a revolution in the trading card market when they introduced their Indian Gum series
and their Big League series of cards packaged with buble gum in colorfully designed Waxpacks.
