Favorite Companion Pieces

Recently found this old arithmetic book that talks about the attendance and receipts of the 1919 World Series. Makes a great companion piece to my 1919 WS display.

Here's a copy of the ad for the 1962 Canadian Post Cereal Baseball cards that was included in the comic sections of Saturday newspapers in the spring of 1962:



I've got the ad framed and hanging on the wall of my collectibles den since those cards are among my favourites of all time.

Now that's what I would call a regal display! Beautiful Jersey and presentation, Chris!

It's an understated style, but there are few things in the hobby that are classier than a Cincinnati Flannel. Just awesome... thanks for posting it!

Thank you sir! Yes, it's a good a example of less is more

Some great items. This is the stuff that makes memorabilia collecting so much fun. So much stuff i didn't even know existed. Very cool.

So my favorite companion pieces/ collection, I documented here.

I had some fun today as I finally got around to using 2 pickups from this years National in Cleveland to create some fun photo displays.

The first is a 1938 Johnny Vander Meer 1st no-hitter display that I used an early vintage Redland Field/ Crosley Field seat from the National and other pieces from my Vandy collection. Vandy endorsed Goldsmith glove, 1938 photo of him pitching, hand painted Vandy signed ball and a NY June 1938 standup calendar.

In 1941, St. Louis RHP Lon Warneke pitched a no-hitter at Crosley Field.
At the National, I was able to pick up a great Warneke pop up advertising piece that commemorated his no-hitter on 8/30/41. This display is accompanied by a full ticket to his no-hitter, a JC Penny promo piece that accompanied a Lon Warneke ball, a great period action photo of Warneke and a vintage fountain pen index card.

Happy holidays to everyone on net54!

Awesome displays, Scott! Love them both...

I'm especially intrigued by the stunning Warneke "Pop-Up" Ad Sign. A couple of questions on that...

1. What product or service does it advertise?

2. Is there an easel on the back?

Never seen one of those before.... terrific find and great post!

Hi Mark,
Thank you!
The Warneke pop up sign is constructed on very thick cardboard, but no sign of an easel back.
It's origin and what it advertised is unknown for now.
If anyone on net54 can shed some light on what it was used for, I would love to know myself.

Happy holidays!
