On the Card side, they have this thread going... "Show Your One Of A Kind Items"

[71buc]

I am really enjoying this thread. It reflects why I enjoy memorabilia so much more than cards. I have these four large size advertising items below. I realize that although I have never seen them before does not mean others have not. The Berra saving bonds poster I have seen in the national archive web site, but not anywhere else. http://www.archives.gov/publications.../baseball.html They have prints of it for sale. I have never seen any other examples of the two Japanese pieces featuring Oh and Nagashima. I am told one is a movie 1960 poster while the other is an advertising poster for a late 1950’s Japanese baseball magazine? The Drysdale piece I assume is an advertising piece for a sporting good store? Nonetheless these are the only examples that I have ever seen of these items. Has anyone else ever come across other examples of them? If so could you please share your knowledge? Thanks!

I had this posted before on here to try and ID it. I was sent this ad that was on ebay that might explain it's origin. I have not seen anything like it in all my searches. It is one of my favorite items in my collection. if anyone has seen another item like this please let me know. In looking at the ad they came in quit a few colors. I find it interesting that in the ad it cost more west of the Mississippi. I also think that at that time (1922) a $1.00/$1.25 was alot of money.
