I like the bronze, Carlton. If you like the Univ of Penn poster football image you might find one of these. Nov. 14 1908 Saturday Evening Post.

I immediately recognized your poster image

Thanks Hoy...I'm guessing you are referring to the auto racer statue...not actually bronze but spelter...A friend in the Netherlands sent me a bunch of photos of Euro statues with the same pose...see below....

Yeah that Saturday Evening Post cover was one of many that the artist Joseph Leyendecker did monthly for the SEP...including an occasional sports illustration...I had one that had the same kicker...for a high school...I did a story back in 2010 which addresses it...which seems to point to Leyendecker shrewdly getting his monies worth from his work by allowing that image to be used for a high school...link to story above...

Carlton - sorry, new to the forum and late to this thread... I was referring to the "Two Strikes" Vienna bronze you posted a couple of years ago.

Here are two other SEP illustrations, both baseball. The bunting batter looks poised for a broken finger or thumb! But I still love these.

Found a treasure trove of old SEPs magazines at a road side book store in WV last fall. These were the only sports covers (plus an automobile one I don't have displayed).

Last Friday June 17th 2022 I attended the Fort Sutter Motorcycle Swap Meet held at the Dixon Calif fairgrounds…put on by the Fort Sutter Chapter of the Antique Motorcycle Club of America…This was the second time I had gone to it…the last was in June 2019…and this was the first one since then because of covid…WOW the Lord blessed me and I scored big…picked up a c1930’s Indian jersey…in thirty five plus years going to every kind of antiques show I’ve never seen one of these surface…It was essentially a virgin/first up the food chain find…an older gentleman had it hanging on one of the posts of his tent when I spotted it…It got a lot of attention carrying it around before I it out to my truck…

Great finds, Carlton! Mike Wolfe of American Pickers is a big vintage American motorcycle guy and I’ve seen him geek out and pay pretty decent money for similar jerseys.

I grew up not too far from Newark, OH (it’s about 40 miles east of Columbus). Back in the day, we made fun of Newark and called it “Nerk” (like the hick locals did). These days, like many former farm towns in Ohio, I think it’s gone a bit upscale.
