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

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.

Thanks for posting those pics Carlton. Love your dog as well. I'll have to check the signature when I get home. Seems a little different, but it could be a timeline thing.
The Hanley Brewery used this Bulldog on much of it's advertising in the thirties and forties. I have a ton of stuff showing the bulldog, which in one way is sort of bad because I kind of get tired of seeing so much of it all over my room You can see him and all his puppies at our website www.rhodeislandbreweryhistory.com just go to the Hanley section All the best, Greg

Bull Dog
Greg, You're welcome...just from eyeballing it, I'd be surprised if it's not the same artist...Is that painting the center piece of your Hanley collection? That illustration at the bottom the Hanley page of the puppy in front of the painting saying "That's my pop" is quite something...that would be your painting I assume....great website you have... I like the music intro...if it the same artist, please post a photo of the signature.

Carlton,
Will get a photo of the signature, hopefully tonight. I've been swamped with meetings this week at night and have only been home to sleep. Yes, that painting in the puppy print is our painting. Although the painting is pretty cool, it's not really the center of our Hanley pieces. The best Hanley piece in our collection is the round reversed glass sign with the silver lettering and original frame c. 1900. That is hand painted and just a killer piece of advertising in it's own right. Then again, picking and choosing what piece is your best piece is kind of like saying you have one favorite child out of many. All the best, Greg
