Carlton, do you have any information on Frederic Stanley??? It didn't even dawn on me about other works that he had done (including Coca Cola). My dad and I own this ORIGINAL painting by Mr. Stanley (assuming he's the same Frederic with a "c") that was done in 1913 for the James Hanley Brewing Company. Back in the thirties, the painting was actually insured by LLoyds of London by the brewery.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Edited to ad that I wonder if this is the same artist. Born in 1892 would have made him 21 when he did the painting. Not impossible, but...

FINALLY got something new worthwhile posting. Picked this up at the Shriner's Show in Wilmington yesterday from Phil Castinetti at SportsWorld.

1904 Regular Season Scorecard proudly stating "World's Champions" from the 1st WS victory over Pittsburgh the previous year.

Yes the Mays sunglasses are from Inside The Park's recent auction as well as the Braves Tom-Tom drum.

A few recent Burke photos I picked up...

Nice pickup there Greg!

and love that Rochester minor league stuff.

Looks like June has been good to everyone.

Outstanding additions Greg. It's nice to see you back in action. I know you are torn between the brew and baseball collection, but keep fair balance will ya?...ha ha.

Hey Guys,

Glad to have finally posted something. It's been tough, Mike, real tough finding sports over the beer.

Anything I've seen lately for the Sox has been either not to my liking, or way too expensive. It was nice to pick up the '04 scorecard.

Carlton,

Any chance of posting a close-up of the artist's signature on that piece?
I would love to compare it. From what I can see on your scan, it looks pretty darn close to that on my dog (also known as "The Watchdog of Quality").

Thanks again,
Greg

Happy to check this off the wantlist

Greg, That's a great painting, probably one of the best bull dog paintings extant. Reminds me of a bull dog poster I have that may be my favorite non-sport poster ever though it's a bit beat up, see below. Don't know a whole lot about Frederic Stanely off hand. Below a shot of the signature on the poster, plus another non sport poster I have that he did.
