Not a "Tobacco, Candy, Gum, or Bakery" advertisement; nevertheless, this is cool enough post here....circa 1920's.

Discovered it hidden away in a small Antique shop today in Quakertown, PA.

Well, this ain't a Tobacco, Candy, or Gum advertisement....however, I guess we can loosely classify it as a "Bread" adv. :)

Toots Shors restaurant in mid-Manhattan was the quintessential "hang-out" for Sports celebrities (and, of course many
other celebrities from 1903 to 1977).

I'd date this gathering at Toots Shor's circa 1952 **. Nine of these 14 ballplayers started their BB careers in the deadball era.

** Note......My guess as to the date of this gathering is based on the passing away of Arlie Latham in Nov 1952. Arlie was a very colorful guy.
Arlie is depicted on several OLD JUDGE cards (N172). And, T206 cards (460-only series).

Cool item, I remember chewing that stuff about 35 years ago. It came in a plug and you would bite off a chunk. That was a hard habit to kick.

You guys have some great stuff on this thread. Not much but I have few items.

Geeze ... these old advertising pieces are addicting! Now I have to add another item to my wantlist? <sigh> :rolleyes: Seriously ... there are some really beautiful art pieces within this thread.

Thanks Leon! I shouldn't have said "most" - all the EPDG boxes that I could find are paper/cardboard. I just don't know a ton about these so was trying to be careful.

It measures 6" x 4.5" x 2". The colors really look cool in the light too, almost a bit iridescent.

A Mecca Cigarette ghost sign
 

.....a faded 1910 Mecca sign painted on the side of a building on East 70th Street and York Avenue, NYC, likely a with similar consequence as the following sign.


The second sign is a Mecca Cigarette sign also painted in 1910, subsequently painted over with a Cola Cola advertisement. As the top paint wears away over time it reveals the older painting. The reappearance of a painting of an underlying image that has been painted over is called a pentimento.

This Coca-Cola and Mecca pentimento is on a building on the corner of Bleeker and Carmine Streets, NYC.

Great thread. I date this to circa 1910 just after the British American Tobacco Company was established in China. I still periodically gear up to do more research on it. thanks for looking.

Neat Mirror
 

Picked this up off of eBay

Not sure if this belongs Here, but Ive enjoyed looking at years of cool advertising pieces in this thread and wanted to contribute somehow.

Bob F.
 

neat advertising mirror but missing a few parts. I went back and forth all week about it - contacted the seller - tried to justify the retail - aesthetics - 90.00 shipping - whatever. I have a slightly earlier Duke advertising mirror with globe and wicks (also includes a tobacco insert card) made by the same company although a little "prettier" and complete. Ginter is a core of my accumulation so I was faced with a real predicament. I was fairly sure it wouldn't get a bid and I might have a shot to negotiate. You have some super advertising but didn't think of you. Curses!! ......and congratulations.

Hey Jay,
that's no minor contribution! Great piece!!


Brent

Bob, I too was watching that mirror, pretty neat, similar sentiments as Henry but sometimes you just need to bite. Congrats! I suspect Henry would have been all in if it were more complete.

JC, awesome 1892 Schedule, very nice.

I normally don't gravitate outside of 19th century slide and shell cigarette packs but couldn't resist a Detroit chewing tobacco by the name of "WOLVERINE". This wooden storage bin/bucket has a 10lb Series of 1875 tax stamp that was canceled in 1876. The top and bottom have clear stamps for Nevin & Mills Wolverine Tobacco, very complete, everything is present.

Agreed
 

I had a suspicion pieces were missing however given the choices of owning this or nothing, I obviously chose owning it. I guess my other rationalization was that it displays pretty nicely as is and I have no issues displaying it as is.

Joe, that is a killer display piece, definitely worth stretching your collecting area!

Hi...do you still have the Dukes Mixture crate? Great item....would you ever consider selling it? Just curious....my family has a connection with the Dukes. If not, enjoy it. Congrats. Thanks.... Tony

not sure who posted the dukes mixture crate
 

(only had time to look through one page again) BUT if they don't answer I have a beauty that's in my laundry room as I have nowhere else to put it or the other 2 crates I have....... you can message me here.

Here you go......I posted this Duke's Mixture crate two years ago on this thread.

Thanks AJ! It came from someone in Indiana.

I actually might end up selling it as I am finding that I only have room for a few framed items and this one might not make the cut. It is pretty fun to have discovered what is the only the third of these signs (that I have been able to track down).

Hey guys,

I've always wondered why no Sports or Non-Sports cards were ever issued with the Chesterfield brand ?

Anyone on this forum have any thoughts on this mystery ? ?

Liggett & Myers introduced this brand in 1912, packaging these cigarettes in the standard pack.

Piedmont store display
 

Here is one for you NY Giants and Polo Grounds guys. Has anyone ever seen this Piedmont Cigarette store display? It is a massive 31" x 60" in size and double-sided. The other side is plain white with Piedmont Cigarettes logos and advertising for 10 and 20 count packs. The old Polo Grounds stands with the crowd is awesome.

There are slots in the piece. It looks as if something hung on it over the baseball infield portion of the advertisement. The white infield is an original part of the litho. I would really like to find out whether a rack hung on it with cigarette packs. Or was it a 3D baseball scene? If anyone has any idea, please reply!!

Bob: Great Matty Box!!!. Given the age the colors are spectacular. What are your plans to display it and what are the dimentions? Great find congrats.

Museum piece Bob. Absolutely beautiful!

Recent get for me........

Thanks Jonathan, the height is 15.5" and the length is 11", width is 3.5"

I am not sure how to display it yet, I would welcome any thoughts?

Tony, great pickup!

It may fit into an acrylic Wheates box display case. May be an easy way to display and protect it.

Thanks Jon, I have tried the normal cereal sized box but it does not fit. I am sure I can find something similar online somewhere but I was looking for something a bit more....something :)

You might consider getting a museum mount made for it. If you display it as you would a sculpture, it will emphasize its three-dimensionality, which, in my opinion, is what really makes it special. Viewers should be able to walk around it and appreciate it from multiple angles.

This is perfect Paul, do you happen to have a name of this or a good place to order one?
