Show your Tobacco, Candy, Gum, Bread, etc. advertisement pieces

Great stuff Ted.....here is an Irelands ad from a large magazine (12 x 9) from the 1920s and 4 boxes from my shelf . I believe they were the predecessor to Curtis Irelands, of E123 fame.

After having this stock certificate in my "stuff" for 20+ years, I recently gave it a new lookover while listing it on eBay.

Note that the certificate is issued to Geo. Bresich; it is also pencil-endorsed by him on the back.

I wonder if this is the Breisch from E107 hobby fame? Is the Geo. Williams who signed on front as secretary the guy from Breisch-Williams and Williams Caramel Co.? Bresich was also once in the candy business with Walter Hiune, who signed this certificate as treasurer.

[uffda51]

but, rather a complaint notice. About the cigarettes. If your Cap Anson card is off-center or miscut - too bad.

Apropos of nothing . . . the American Caramel stock certificate I showed above sold on eBay for $91 last night.

More than likely it is the same George Breisch.

The Breisch of Breisch-Williams was George Breisch. He is listed as a Confectioner as early as 1890 in Philadelphia. His father Frederick Breisch, from Germany, was also a candy maker, and his brother, Frederick, was also involved as either a partner or employee of the company. Later their company would be merged with the American Caramel Co.

Love the A & G horses John- that's a beauty!

[wonkaticket]

Thanks Barry, it hangs very close to another A&G banner that came from the "Sloate" collection.

Here's two more of my favs. From another fine person in the hobby.

[Jay Wolt]

John Fantastic!
I got to make it down to your place & view these in person as you suggested.

[wonkaticket]

Doors always open at the office, cold beer in the fridge and food is a just a call away Jay. I'll even pick you up big man.

Hope you're felling 100% these days BTW.

[Jay Wolt]

John sounds like a plan
I'll see how I can handle Cleveland for a couple of days & will let you know.

Holy smokes John, that Pirates clock is something special. I've not seen anything like that before.

Ah this is the perfect thread for someone to maybe answer a question I have. I was at an antique shop this past weekend, and saw four of these piedmont wooden folding chairs. (the back was the piedmont sign made of porcelain). I was wondering if anyone had seen these before and if there was any story behind them, because they were all selling for a pretty penny.

[Econteachert205]

Mine is at my parents so this is a stock photo. Mine's more faded.

[Matvoo]

Very Cool
Took me 30 minutes to look from page 1 to page 29
But well worth it

[tedzan]

[tedzan]

My mistake.

[1880nonsports]

but since most of what I own is tobacco related including many things that relate in some way to the early card producers - I'm going to sneak these in. Tried to show only the relevent ones. I have more but I'm inclined to stop here as I'm avoiding work of any kind this month which is in itself - work :-).

An absolutely amazing display of some really great 19th Century and early 20th Century stuff.

Thanks very much for sharing all this with us.

Your top photo centerpiece appears to be the 12 pages of the 1888 Goodwin Champions (A36) album mounted and framed....or,
is it an original 19th Century poster of the A36's pages ?


TED Z
.

[1880nonsports]

I framed the album so I could enjoy it - I don't open my other two.........

[tedzan]

Henry

Regarding your display of the beautiful lithographs in the GOODWIN CHAMPIONS (A36) album......it has me thinking.
However, I have mixed feelings about cutting out the 12 pages and mounting them. This album is one of my favorite
pieces in my collection.











TED Z

[1880nonsports]

The album was destressed or I wouldn't have taken it apart and framed it. It's intact except the binder strips have been removed. I worked some excess paper from a few surfaces and that's about it. I think it makes for a great display and imagine my framed albums will be some of the last things I let go of. To me they nicely express my "tobacco as art" philosophy....
The albums are more like books and as such are difficult to appreciate as the content is visual not written. They also tend to be expensive and fragile. One can of course take pictures or scans and leave the album on a shelf but then why have the album at all - just get the pictures which one could procure in a few places. A whole 'nother story I suppose.
That being said I must confess to owning a fair number of other albums - perhaps not as "desireable" as the different champion albums but no less works of art and they languish in a box unappreciated. I have not an inch of room to hang anything more (a hat and my wife come to mind) and it is of course cost prohibitive to frame them.
I do have 2 nicer copies of the Goodwin Champions (one to trade I suppose) and only once before getting this one did I consider using one of them. My view is that these have survived many years and many hands because of their beauty. Like everything we collect we are just temporary keepers - caretakers if you will for a near finite amount of time. I try and keep things in the condition in which I received them and strive to maintain the integrety until they pass to the next person's hands.

Incredible stuff. Do you have close-ups of the Roly Poly Tins? These are neat tins.

Anyone else with Roly Poly Tins?
