SOLD: 1909 Pittsnurgh Press Newspaper Premium w/Wagner, Clarke, Dreyfuss, Willis
I hate to have to sell this (and if it doesn't no biggie) but another piece is being offered to me I want more. Now this piece since I bought it has been double matted and framed archival lay floated so NO damage is done. Offered is this awesome piece for SOLD delivered and comes ready to hang on your wall.
Below is the original description.
Please contact me with any questions!
Up for sale today is a rather unusually patriotic design for a baseball display produced during a non-war-era period. With the bald eagle and the Stars and Stripes, this high-quality Pittsburg Press premium has the feel of a presidential election campaign sign. In 1909, Honus Wagner probably could've beaten out William Howard Taft in a popularity contest, anyway! The Flying Dutchman is presented here in that most classic of all baseball head-shots: the Carl Horner portrait from the T206 set. In fact, all 23 images originate from the legendary lens of Horner, whose copyright mark is located in the lower-right corner. From left to right, top to bottom, they are Barney Dreyfuss, Fred Clarke, Locke, Leach, Miller, Byrne, Gibson, Vic Willis, Camnitz, Adams, Lefield, Leever, Maddox, Phillippe, Brandom, Frock, O'Connor, Simon, Abstein, Abbaticchio, Wilson and Hyatt. Surrounding flourishes, ball-and-bat symbolism and a nice Pittsburgh emblem further enhance the lively All-American graphics. Please review scan of the supplement as the approximate dimensions are 13" x 20-1/2" and please note that the back is blank and there is some creasing along with some relatively minor tears along the edges.
