DiMaggio's Yacht Club Sign 57 1/2" wide x 26" tall
57 1/2" wide x 26" tall
I was walking toward the Berkeley Bart station (Bay Area Rapid Transit) flea market late today and saw an interesting antiques store. I recognized the dealer who I see at the Alameda Point show, who always has good interesting antiques. His shop had his regular good quality, but no sports stuff....that is until I looked up and saw this sign...It was pricey but I don't ever expect to see another so got it.

thanks
Wow, four thumbs up! Thanks guys. Now that I'm getting into this, it seems as though JD had two establishments, this Yacht Club, which appears to be kind of a night spot type place, then there was his Joe DiMaggio's Grotto seen over on this thread http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...?t=114028Which may have been just for eating, no floor show and dancing. If so he probably would have been influenced by Toot's Shor's in NYC, and tried to put something like it out in San Francisco....no telling if it worked, i. e. was successful. I'll be keeping my eyes open for info on the two places to better understand them. Below is an old snapshot of one of DiMaggio's concerns, that Sam and Stella Quaglierini had at the 06' National, seen on this page http://sportsantiques.com/06natpage4.htm. There is even a DiMaggio's cafe in Martinez Ca. , but Somehow I think it may have been owned by one of Joe's relatives.

Hi Carlton,
Here is a little tid-bit on Dimaggios from the May 4, 1946 Billboard mag. Hope it helps?  Also, I posted this on the other side but thought I would post it here as well.
