I'm sorry -- I still have to figure out how to put multiple photos in one post.

sayhey24 · #3 07-16-2009, 06:41 AM

One more for now.

Greg- that Diamond Brand is a beauty. Is it circa 1910?

Edited to say it looks like 1909 World Series, with Detroit and Pittsburgh.

Thanks Barry, you're right on the date.
This was a piece sent to a retailers to entice them to put the full size Diamond Brand display in their window. It was a three dimensional piece -- 28 x 40 and ten inches deep, with cardboard cutouts of the players at their positions -- I have never seen one.

Here are a couple more pieces.

You would think i would ahve a great chance to find one of those Peach posters considering i live 10 minutes from Gloversville but i come across nothing dealing with the company, only thing i know is where the old factory was.

Thanks Mark -- it's fun finally being able to show some stuff.

Here are a couple of ad pieces from sporting goods stores. The Mays bat is a giant bat (appropriately enough) -- well over four feet long.

I went to school in Johnstown (which is about 2 miles from Gloversville) and never came across a Peach poster either although I always looked. Also, I co-founded the Fulton Montgomery Sports Historical Society (the museum is now in Gloversville) and we did find some information on Peach but no equipment to display.

Jon,
I went to the museum two weeks ago to see the baseball stuff. It was good to see different baseball things from around the area.

Home Run Cigarettes Circa 1910... the 12X18 version.

The Colors are incredible.

Anyone ever notice that the T206 Johnny Evers With Bat, Chicago on Shirt has the EXACT same background as this Home Run poster?

sayhey24 · #13 07-17-2009, 08:58 AM

Great Home Run poster -- I like the fact that you have it in an antique frame.

thekingofclout · #14 09-05-2009, 05:56 AM

in remarkable mint condition. I recently found hundreds of scans from my last laptop. Earlier in this thread I posted the front of the catalog only. Here is all the goodies inside. Enjoy...

Hi Jacksons,
When you say "the 12x18 version", does that mean you know of another size that was produced?

FYI, I featured that Home Run Cigs poster on my Sports Antique of the Week May 31st-June 10th 2009. Below the link if you haven't seen it already.

This is an original 1907 Collier's Magazine Coca Cola ad featuring Lajoie and Wadell. It was a full page ad and is in better condition than the photo demonstrates.

I hope the pics aren't too big & taking up too much room, but I feel you get a better view of the details with these at this size.

I wish I had large cardboard or tin signs, but they are very hard to find.

Scott Garner · #22 05-15-2010, 05:19 AM

Not vintage, but definitely oddball as this is the only one that I've ever seen. I've always liked this one. Nolan Ryan hawking Rhino brand huge farm equipment. As you can see, the bi-line is "Some things are just built tougher than others." BTW- Poster is circa 1990.

Lordstan · #23 05-15-2010, 07:07 AM

Paul,
Great stuff!
I noticed this especially because of the presence of Gehrig.
It's interesting that the tag line is "Joe McCarthy and a host of Memories" but there is no Dimaggio pictured. Ruth, Gehrig, Rizzuto, Keller, Crosetti, even one behind Gehrig that looks a little like Mantle, plus a few others that I can't immediately place are all there, but no Dimaggio. Strange!
Nonetheless, it's a beaut

Also if you ever get tired of it LMK.

Best,
Mark

olsport · #24 05-15-2010, 11:45 AM

I believe that McCarthy yankees piece was to be used as the print as the header on a calendar. I have had it like 15 years and found it in mint condition.

perezfan · #25 05-19-2010, 03:58 PM

Arrived late last week....

What's the D & M sign an ad for? I can't quite read the small print under the logo.
