Hello Jon, here is an October 1889 picture of an Allen & Ginter display that may have the same or similar poster.

Also, congrats on the Little Jockey pack. Have you been able to locate evidence of what cards were distributed in them? The GQ carton is also nice, I was watching it but not ready to make the jump from packs to cartons. Regarding the various GQ packs, can anyone share a picture of the "ornate pack"?

I recently completed a run of all pre-ATC merger Duke cigarette packs. These would have competed with A&G, Kinney, Kimball, Goodwin (my favorite), and the others during the card boom of 1887-1890. The Duke's Best brand would be the last brand to join the others before the merger, having been introduced September 1889.

All six are pre-ATC merger examples.

In honor of Joe's amazing group I thought I'd post my small group. My favorite is the Palo Alto Cigarettes pack which shows an image of Stanford University.

Joe Dimaggio candy bar?

Don't believe I have posted this before but if I have my memory ain't what it used to be
Measures about 28 in by 58 in and likely my next item to send in for a little conservation work.

Jay, what a beautiful Goodwin trio, that GQ pack is no doubt the finest in existence (if I recall, a clear 1887 overprint). The Lone Jack isn't too shabby either

Awesome run, Joe. I'm away for the weekend, but when I get home tomorrow evening, I can post an ornate GQ pack.

Jay - that Palo Alto pack is amazing. As you know, I'm also a big fan of the GQ! Just let me know when you want to let it go ;-)

nice graphics and in very nice shape. I may sell this if the price is right. It is 34” x 26”

Can't Say it Enough...
"What a Brilliant thread Ted!!!"

My additions.

Not a "Tobacco, Candy, Gum, or Bakery" advertisement; nevertheless, this is cool enough post here....circa 1920's.

Discovered it hidden away in a small Antique shop today in Quakertown, PA.

Ive always loved the Safe Hit labels....great colors and graphics

[bobfreedman]

Now I have two different honest tobacco posters

[tedzan]

Well, this ain't a Tobacco, Candy, or Gum advertisement....however, I guess we can loosely classify it as a "Bread" adv.

Toots Shors restaurant in mid-Manhattan was the quintessential "hang-out" for Sports celebrities (and, of course many
other celebrities from 1903 to 1977).










I'd date this gathering at Toots Shor's circa 1952 **. Nine of these 14 ballplayers started their BB careers in the deadball era.








Check-out the menu for that day






** Note......My guess as to the date of this gathering is based on the passing away of Arlie Latham in Nov 1952. Arlie was a very colorful guy.
Arlie is depicted on several OLD JUDGE cards (N172). And, T206 cards (460-only series).
