Advertising poster pickup.. Help!!
 

I know its not baseball but it was too good to pass up for $15
Any ideas on its value pm me. I am going to be sending it to a paper conservationist to restore it as much as possible and dont want to put more into it than I should. I usually only collect baseball and hope no one gets too mad at me for posting it here.

nice p/u for $15
 

THX, That's kind of cool...different looking....I like the diecut boxing glove at the top...what are it's dimensions? Is there an easle on the back? -Carlton

Item was found shrink wrapped to a larger piece of cardboard for stability so I haven't checked the back. It is approx. 20x15. I only collect Goldsmith baseball items and stumbled onto this and thought it has great display value once cleaned and restored.

Very cool piece. Haven't seen it before. If I had to hazard a guess at the boxers I would say Tommy Gibbons on the left and Georges Carpentier on the right.

I had a pair of Tommy & Mike Gibbons endorsed gloves awhile ago. I just have the photos now so I can't tell if they are Goldsmith gloves or not. Maybe you can tell from the markings.

From the pics it does appear to be the old style Goldsmith Logo. I should be an iron cross inside the circle which it does look like. Thanks for the info on who the boxers might be.

similar image
 

don't mean to hijack the thread, but I just picked this box top up on Sunday and it reminded me on your piece. The images are similar in stance and while it isn't a boxing or baseball piece, it suggested sports (wrestling) and was cheap!

Looks like they are thumb wrestling to me!

hmmm, looks like two guys holding hands in their underwear to me.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

:eek:

With underwear that tight, thank gawd it's unshrinkable !!
