Carlton,
If you were a mother living in the suburbs west of Boston you knew about the Carter's store in Needham. It was about the size of a Kohls if I remember correctly. My mother took us there many times in the late 60's and early 70's. The original family was bought out in the 1990's. Here is a link from the Needham Historical Society about them: https://needhamhistory.org/walk/carter-company/

Carlton.......I'm a huge racing fan and that 1911 panoramic is incredible. What's the backstory on it? Where did you find it? I love the 3 distant cars coming down the front stretch with a cloud of dust being kicked up behind them....and of course, the whole track surface back then consisted of bricks, hence the 'Brickyard' nickname. Great stuff!

As a nearly lifelong resident of Indiana, I must say that the Indianapolis 500 souvenirs, are absolutely amazing. I love seeing history preserved.

Back-Story
Quote:
COPIED FROM A 2019 FACEBOOK POST: http://www.sportsantiques.com/golf_stuff.htm The Lord blessed me with some really great pieces recently….A few years ago a guy from Atlanta emailed me asking if I wanted to sell a rare Bobby Jones golf poster that I got back in 1994…I think he’s a neurosurgeon…I wasn’t interested and declined…about a month ago he emailed again wanting to buy it…again I essentially said thanks but no thanks…and that was it...just a courteous exchange… I guess I had a lot on my plate and wasn’t thinking…because I remember about a week later it dawned on me I didn’t ask him if he had anything for sale…which you always want to do when you meet a fellow collector…it’s called shaking the bushes…So I emailed him back the following: Sent: Friday, March 29, 2019 4:02 PM Subject: Bobby Jones exhibition poster Hello again sir…By the way…tell me about your collection…would like to see some photos…do you just collect Golf?...attached a recent pickup… -carlton So he writes back that he just collects golf but had some pieces in storage…One was this NASCAR sign…said he got it out of Leland’s about 10 years ago....said he saw it while looking for golf stuff in the back of the catalog...and as much that he knew it was important and got it…plus he told me about two other racing pieces he had…two large panoramic photos of the Indianapolis 500 race…one for the very first race in 1911….the other for the second race in 1912…I got the 1911 pano and the NASCAR sign…. The guy told me the frame was later…but when I got it I could see it was about same period as the photo c1911…and the glass is wavy…which is a big deal with me…and on the NASCAR…wow…I sort of have a piece of the old south….as NASCAR was sort of born out of good’ol boys running moonshine…has very southern roots…This sign must have traveled with the NASCAR emergency crew from track to track…NASCAR started in the late 1940’s and I think this sign is from the early 1950’s…extremely rare….I doubt there is another one… https://lelands.com/bids/the-first-i...otograph--1911

Thank you...

 Michael B….thank you so much for that information…I knew a little about the Carter Company but that really supplies a lot…even that William Carter’s son, William Henry, was a cricket player there in Needham Massachusetts…Here’s another example of Carter’s employing basketball as an advertising vehicle...a magazine print ad…that renown basketball collector Rob Lahammer was kind enough to send me…Interesting that basketball was invented in Springfield Massachusetts about 85 miles away from Needham Massachusetts where Carter’s was headquartered…

1893 Yale Calander
 Here would likely be my last significant pickup of 2021…although you never know…in 35 years collecting I don’t recall ever seeing one of these…That’s not surprising though….considering how fragile it is…how many could survive at 17 7/8” x 13 ¾”, on cardstock. It even retains its original hang string…Subjectively it’s probably the best sports calendar I’ve ever seen…The way it’s laid out has me…with the angled team photos perched on all four corners…and iconic athletic structures…that’s Yale Field top left…the Yale boat house top right…At bottom center is the Old Yale Gymnasium that had just opened in 1893…which preceded the current Paine Whitney Gymnasium…Then there’s Yale’s bulldog mascot Handsome Dan bottom right…and a football player resembling Amos Alonzo Stag leaning on the iconic Yale Fence…presumably pictured for nostalgia’s sake since the beloved Yale Fence was removed in 1888…And as a special bonus I think that's the great Frank Hinkey second row down on the far right of the football team photo...looking meaner than everyone else...

Auburn & Wright Indian Motorcycle Spark Plug Crate
 I just received these two piece and unpacked them the other day…The wooden crate is from about 1913 era…The Auburn & Wright company was subsidiary of the New York Mica & Manufacturing Company…as indicated on the viewers left side of the crate (see N. Y. M & M Co.)…Mica was a mineral used in making spark plugs similar to porcelains use in that it acted as an insulator…         I got this out of an auction with a ton of great motorcycle memorabilia….pennants, jerseys, posters, about a dozen helmets, and all sorts of great stuff…there was a lot of things I’d have liked to have gotten but I had to decide what had priority…after studying everything carefully I decided this crate was the end all and I had to have it…Auburn & Wright appear to have been around from about 1913 to 1917….that was right when motorcycle racing was just taking off…So I knew this crate was an incredible piece of history and to just let the other stuff go…It’ll go perfect with my motorcycle stuff…   I bid on four items in the auction...the crate, and this Cromwell racing helmet…Of all the helmets…and there were some great ones…This one stood out for me because of the number and name on it and the blue color was unique…I lost a footboard to an Excelsior…and a v cool flat track hot shoe with worn red paint…
