1921 Babe Ruth - Treen Box Company Blotter
This blotter was laying around for several years and I just found it again. Just seeing if others have seen one or if anyone wants to guess at a value?
The back is blank and it is in overall EX'ish shape...Common size of 9" x 4" I realize it's not too valuable but it's worth something.. ps.. A few searches turned this one up and 1 other I sold 10 yrs ago, but that is it.

Since no one's willing to posit a guess on a price, I'll go ahead with my extremely limited pre-war ephemera knowledge.
Pros: Mentions Babe Ruth, and there is a follow-through shot of a baseball swinging in the daydream. Ultra-rare Great condition (EX) Cons: Doesn't really look like Babe Ruth. Probably wasn't a licensed item. Two-tone Color image (in red, which is not a Yankees color) is baseball player sitting on bench with a bat that looks more like a pencil. Rarity doesn't always lead to hobby acceptance. Sometimes more of an item makes it more collectible. Guesstimate: $500-1,000 If the image actually looked like Babe Ruth, showed an NYY logo, or was licensed (whatever made sense at the time), then I would say $3,000-5,000.

The angular layout anomaly is really effin' with my frickin' brain!!
I brought the pic into Photoshop to try to soothe my soul: The outer black box is a true rectangle with no distortion. The inner black box (encompassing the main text) is also a true rectangle and aligned with the larger one. The four lines of Treen Box verbiage are aligned with the bottom black border (and hence the inner and outer black boxes). So, the problem with the visual here is the 'straight' red lines are NOT horizontal and are actually on a downward slope...and so are the words "Good Wood Boxes." And the two paragraphs of writing below them are aligned to those lines and NOT to the black box!!! Woo hoo! Now I can rest easily tonight. Sorry for the interruption. Please continue with the thread...
