Here's a nice little piece from 1958
 And if you would indulge me in showing one of the pieces in the other half of the house's "advertising" collection (seeing that some folks posted some non-baseball cigarette stuff, why not): c. 1895  you can see more stuff like it at: www.rhodeislandbreweryhistory.com

c1912 J.A. Peach Sign
Corey, Thanks for expounding. Was J.A. Peach a major glove maker? Do you have any of their gloves you could post photos of? Was it just a coincidence the names A.J. Reach and J.A. Peach are so similiar? Do you know any history of the J.A. Peach company? Who formed it etc.?

Carlton...
Mr. Mitt (Jerry) has posted links above, showing the front and back of a Peach Glove, as well as a vintage ad copy. You will be hard pressed to find many additional images, as examples are scarce. Although the names are off by a single letter, the Reach and Peach companies were not related. The guys over at Vintage Glove Forum can probably shed more light, if you are interested... http://www.vintagebaseballgloveforum.com/phpBB2/ Last edited by perezfan; 06-26-2009 at 01:56 PM.

oops
Sorry gentleman, I didn't see all the other chatter and Mr. Mitt's links. This company is interesting. All those big names endorsing, very little known history, and the gloves are real rare....then you have the name similarity thing. Corey, are you making up these signs in your garage?...just kidding. I guess I've muddled up this excellent thread with too much focus on this sign. It'd probably been more appropriate to have it's own thread. I really like that part Dan B. provided about the lady's mother that worked for the company, now that's interesting!

Peach definitely has no association with Reach. Al Reach was a ballplayer turned sporting goods manufacturer who sold his Philadelphia company to Spalding, the more famous ballplayer turned equipment titan.
We know that Peach produced ball gloves from roughly 1911-16 in Gloversville, NY, but very little else is available to us. The name of the town speaks for itself. Immigrants settled in the area and applied their glove-making skills taken from Europe. Baseball gloves were a natural offshoot for the glove industry, so a few manufacturers popped up in the area... most notably Kennedy-Wells, better known as Ken-Wel. The Peach advertising poster is absolutely magnificent! I seriously doubt that any of the players depicted were compensated for appearing on it. Interestingly, though players of the era are seen in advertisements for sporting equipment and in manufacturers' catalogs, actual player endorsements on gloves and mitts were sporadic in the teens. This practice didn't truly take off until the the 20's.

Hires Baseball Kids Sign
30 inches wide by 22 inches tall
Here's a Hires Root Beer sign I've had a long time. I always thought it was about 1910, but someone told me it was from the 1890's. You can read the whole yarn about how I came into it here This sign is on the front cover of a book on root beer collectibles

1869 Peck and Snyder advertising poster. This 22" x 16" hand colored supplement was included in copies of the 1869 Haney Book of Reference. It was a perfect vehicle for P & S to showcase its jerseys, belts, caps, etc.

Peck and Snyder Poster
Barry, Best piece on this thread....phenomonal.....I like how it states:
"THIS SHEET IS GIVEN AWAY AS A SUPPLMENT TO THE BASE BALL PLAYERS BOOK OF REFERENCE" You sure don't see those implments for sale much, maybe the belts now and then....but not the hats...I did see a striped hat at the 2007 National that Darla Bernhardt had that was in the vein of the ones in the poster, but I don't see it in there...she said it was cricket, priced $300.00....none of the ones in the poster have the stripes going around. I did get a boater style one from her there by the way. How many examples of your poster have you seen? When and how did you come into it?

Thanks Carlton. One thing that surprises me about the poster is Peck and Snyder did not put their name on it. The Haney Book of Reference was edited by Henry Chadwick from 1866 to 1868. Peck and Snyder purchased it in 1869, undoubtedly to use as a vehicle to promote their products. The 1869 copy I found it in also had a 16 page section in the back that exclusively advertised P & S sporting goods equipment. The poster was miraculously still affixed to the inside front cover, exactly as it was at the time of issue. There were tears throughout at almost half the folds, and a conservator had to put it back together. But the colors are pristine since they never saw the light of day for 130 years.
There is a variant to this poster in John Kashmanian's book Baseball Treasures. It is not as elaborate as mine but does have the name of the store printed on it. I assume it is later than this one, perhaps 1870-72. But as I said, the poster was made to hang in a store, and how they could leave their own name off of it makes no sense. A mystery that I can not solve. Forgot to answer a part of your question: I got it about ten years ago when I got a call from an antique dealer in upstate New York who said he found two Haney Guides as well as some other miscellaneous material. He mentioned one was missing the covers, but I figured they were rare enough and he offered to send them to me. Just as we were finishing our conversation he said: "Oh by the way, there is a color poster inside the cover of one of them." It kind of slipped by me but by the next day I sensed that it might be something special. When I actually saw it I was of course amazed. As it turned out it was pretty close to a free throw in. Those things don't happen very often. Last edited by barrysloate; 06-27-2009 at 11:22 AM.

Babe & Lou Barnstorming Letter.
From the hand of the first sports agent, Christy Walsh comes this colorful piece. In my opinion, he was a promotional and advertising genius. I'm also a little biased as over 40 of my original photos came from his collection.

Greg- that Diamond Brand is a beauty. Is it circa 1910?
Edited to say it looks like 1909 World Series, with Detroit and Pittsburgh. Last edited by barrysloate; 07-16-2009 at 08:49 AM.

Thanks Barry, you're right on the date.
This was a piece sent to a retailers to entice them to put the full size Diamond Brand display in their window. It was a three dimensional piece -- 28 x 40 and ten inches deep, with cardboard cutouts of the players at their positions -- I have never seen one. Here are a couple more pieces.

Home Run Cigs Poster

When you say "the 12x18 version", does that mean you know of another size that was produced? FYI, I featured that Home Run Cigs poster on my Sports Antique of the Week May 31st-June 10th 2009. Below the link if you haven't seen it already. http://sportsantiques.com/homeruncigspost.htm -Carlton
