Baseball Related Cards
 

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>Leon's post about the Lowney's autocar got me thinking about cards with some relationship to pre war cards. Here's a postcard of the A.C. Dietsche shop in Detroit. Would love to see some other pre war baseball related cards or items.<br /><br /><img src="http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e195/pgisme/Dietsch_Store.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Joe_G.</b><p>This is a copy of a post I shared with the Non-Sport Forum awhile back. They helped me identify several interesting items in the store.<br /><br />A neat photo described as being from a Grand Haven, MI Store with 1913/14 date written on back and for which the content certainly supports.<br /><br /><CENTER><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1200248244.JPG"></CENTER><br /><br /><CENTER><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1200248252.JPG"></CENTER><br />Some "Hersheys Sweet Milk Chocolate", "Imperial Italian Squares" and much more. Most of the items in the store are candy or mints.<br /><br /><CENTER><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1200248261.JPG"></CENTER><br />"Bull Durham" tobacco sign, "Stag Tobacco" in 5 cent tin, and more.<br /><br /><CENTER><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1200248275.JPG"></CENTER><br />Perhaps the neatest close-up with the 2nd shelf from top (shelf below the pipes) including <b>OBAK</B> (2 rows on top of each other near left side) and <b>FATIMA</b> (right of center) packs with the far right being Omar paper packs (not Old Judge).<br /><br /><CENTER><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1200248287.JPG"></CENTER><br />"Riz La + Cigarette Paper" poster.<br /><br /><CENTER><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1200248305.JPG"></CENTER><br />And lastly, some kind of mechanized popcorn or possibly a peanut machine. Notice the figurine on top.<br /><br /><br />Best Regards,<br />Joe Gonsowski

Chaplin!
 

Anybody still have that picture of Charlie Chaplin asking about the baseball card??? Please contact me if you do!!

I know it's your first day here, cardguru, but please stop bumping threads that are years and years old!!!

new vs old threads
 

For the most part we should be starting new threads instead of dragging up old ones. Sometimes it's appropriate to bring an old one up, but rarely. So, if you see an old thread that interests you, you can start a new one about it. No set rules but that is the general way to do it. thanks :eek:
