Great stuff everyone.

Bought this and it had printers marks, carefully removed them (I guess that means I restored it )

I am going to frame it with my other military photos of Ruth and Cobb.

Just picked this up. It was filthy when I got it and the scroll that revolves through four scenes (BB, FB, bowling and golf) was completely trashed. I had a copy made of the same scroll I have in another Falstaff sign. I spent all day today cleaning it up and it's now maybe even a little better than new, thanks to a couple of updates I made to it.

Rob that is a great item. I got this at my local shop. Rarely do I find Orioles items there.

Thanks, Clint. Is your item an advertising sign? How big is it?

Congrats on the pickup Rob.

[ksfarmboy]

Rob yes it is. It has an easel back and is close to 14"x19". The front is molded plastic giving it a 3D look. Sorry for the small photo from my phone.

I'd give anything for a Falstaff, why did they stop making it WHY???!!!!

Clint,

I really like the Orioles National plastic easel sign. I have one that's similar that I picked up many years ago and it's one of my favorite O's signs.

Thanks Mark. I didn't even notice ours were different till I got it home and compared it to yours. Have you seen many and what do you value them at? Wonder what years they were made?

I really don't know much about them so it's just a guess on my part, but I would think mid to late '60's. Mine had to be produced either after the '66 or '70 WS, but I would guess after the '66 Series. They loved the swinging bird with the crown on his head. I've probably seen 6-7 over the years of collecting. So it's fairly rare, but not to uncommon. At least to me, with the item being plastic the better the shape the more they are worth (at least to me). I would say 400-500 for one in nice shape. I think they are very cool!

Those Falstaff signs are some of my favorites and the new pickup is just awesome. I sure wish the O's had something like those, but unfortunately they don't. Those signs make for an excellent display in your Giants room!
