Help with 1964 Phillies Plaque
 

Wondering if anyone can be of any assistance with the back of this plaque. Picked it up at a local card show today and on back has written "compliments of Ernie Montello(???)" and on the bottom right has written upside down in white Montello (sic) 8-29. Any help or ideas is really appreciated.

I once had a display similar to the H&S example my ex purchased from him commemorating Schmidt's 400th HR.

Thanks Nate & Jim. Looks like it could be Ernie Montella. Looks like he was a dealer that did these type of plaques in the early 80s. Found some more in other auctions http://www.auctionscc.com/?showpage=...rabilia/&i=352.

Found a nice article on him and his plaques http://www.sportscollectorsdigest.co...national-treat

Yep , Ernie Montello is well known in the Phila. area. Made lots of custom plaques. Some real nice ones too.

Ernie is one of the founders of the Phila A's Historical Society. He has been making similier plaques for about 30 years

Thanks for the info guys. I appreciate it. I think it is a neat piece I was able to pick up for $15
