Picked this up last night

[C-mack]

Where's a good place to shop for vintage baseball related tobacco/gum advertisement

[1880nonsports]

this one really sweet. My kind of piece.

[1880nonsports]

there are quite a few advertising auction companies - behemoths and smaller specialty houses. High end material usually ends up there. In the northeast there are also advertising and paper shows of all kinds. Finally there's eBay. MOST OF THE TIME - interesting, aesthetically pleasing, and rarely encountered items won't fall through the cracks in any of those venues although walking a paper or trade card show would likely be the best place for a "find" in terms of valuation. The good news is there's all kinds of ways to collect endless categories at all price levels. The patient and knowledgeable buyer with a PLAN will get the most enjoyment whether significant and beautiful pieces or a run of magazine ads.

Yeah I started lastnight really reading on the subject didn't see anything on eBay but then again I might of not did the best typing in the search bar and will try again tonight..Thank you for the info now I have a idea where to look for my 1st piece

[3-2-count]

Interestingly enough, I've accumulated more than 2/3rd's of my tobacco related memorabilia/collection from Ebay through the years.

If your patient and know what to search for, many quality items are out there and will pop up.

[tedzan]

Very interesting, Tony

Most of my stuff pictured in this thread has been acquired from the numerous Antique shops here in Pennsylvania and up in the Cooperstown area.

In the future, I'll have to concentrate on ebay....as you say.

Excited to pick up this piece. It's a paper advertising poster that has been mounted on cardboard. It's quite large - almost 30 inches in size. Obvious condition issues, but I haven't sen another.

Congratulations on the pick up Jon. Do you have an idea on the time frame?

[canjond]

My guess is 1880-90s.

[1880nonsports]

still a nice piece. I would say around the time of the Paris Exposition. In the album there is a very similar banner on their parade float. Also take note of the slightly more smiling old planter than the earliest 1880 depictions of their famous icon.........

[ruth-gehrig]

Recent pickups. Cigar box is first in my collection. Well, I guess the jar would be a first as well

[kdixon]

Nice cigar box Michael.

[ruth-gehrig]

Thanks Kenny! I know virtually nothing about cigar boxes but its got the look Im after so I couldn't resist.

[Huysmans]

Great box Michael.
Is there a date on the tax stamp?

Thanks! I will check as soon as I receive the box. It was described as 1883 so I'm thinking that's where this date came from.

[canjond]

Slowly but surely, I'm still plugging the holes in my collection. Here's a new one.

I just received the box yesterday. I believe the tax stamp is dated March 3 1883. Is that of any particular significance?
Thank you
Michael

I'm not sure if the stamps had the actual date, or a copyrighted date that was in use until the next updated copyright. I'm sure there are others on here who would know better.
If the box is from 1883, I think that's one of the earlier baseball cigar boxes you'll find.
Again, great item!
If you're ever interested in selling or maybe trading... Please let me know.

[canjond]

Michael-

Great box. I also have a Home Run cigar box with some different graphics. Although a few proofs of this label exist, I believe this is the only complete cigar box known. It, too, is dated 1883 (see photos below).

- Jon

[ruth-gehrig]

Brent and Jon,
Thanks for the kind words on the cigar box. Fantastic box you have yourself there Jon. Like I believe I mentioned earlier, cigar boxes are new territory for me and liking the action scene, am glad I pursued this one. You guys understand the rarity of these better than I do but the only one I could find through a quick google search was of this exact box someone previously pinned on pinterest.

1952 Topps and 1950 Bowman

[3-2-count]

You see these in cardboard form quite often, but never made of wood. The still hinges and front hasps are quite heavy duty and ornate. Measures 6" x 10".

Displays removable wooden trays as well. Makes for a great T206 companion piece!

Yes, I realized I made the error and had changed it, apologies.

If anyone has a 1948 Bowman ad (or any baseball card advertising piece) please contact me. I will pay top dollar for an y vintage pieces.

[ruth-gehrig]

Just teasing you Bob. You know I love all those early advertising pieces. Great pieces those are!

Tony I love it! I have never seen one before.

What was its original purpose?

[Cerberus]

I just posted the details on the June pick-ups thread. Sorry about the duplicate post, but I'm pretty excited about adding this unopened, properly-dated pack to my collection.

[1880nonsports]

is there a cancel stamp that can be read? Nice no matter what. I'd love to have one in my collection.
Great GQ box Jon! Hammered at a very fair price. I've seen them sell from 750. - 3000.! Quite a special "carton". Mine is prominently displayed. Maybe time for another Jerry Spillman et all debate about which packs might have come from which carton?

[ajjohnsonsoxfan]

Very excited to add this 1912 Cracker Jack box to my collection! It's not the 1913-1918 box that contained prizes including baseball cards in them but there's still only a handful confirmed to survive.

Very very nice AJ.

[ajjohnsonsoxfan]

I figured you might like that Tony. Haha
